EDAW, INC. - PRESENTATION ON THE OPEN HOUSE UPDATE ON THE
SAN BERNARDINO DOWNTOWN CORE VISION/ACTION PLAN
BACKGROUND:
In June 2007, the Urban Land Institute ("UU") analyzed and prepared a study for the Downtown Central
Business District of San Bernardino. The purpose of the UU's involvement was to study and provide
recommendations and proposals for the City of San Bernardino ("City") to consider, relative to land use,
transportation, lifestyle, urban design, commerce and government that would bring physical and economic
vitality back to Downtown San Bernardino. The UU presented their findings and recommendations on
June 29, 2007. In August 2007, these findings and recommendations were received by the Mayor and
Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ("Council") and the Community Development
Commission of the City of San Bernardino ("Commission").
In June 2008, the Commission formally endorsed the UU study for the Downtown Central Business
District. The Commission also recommended the UU study for further study to EDA W, Inc. ("EDA W"),
and authorized the Interim Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San
Bernardino ("Agency") to execute a Professional Services Agreement with EDA W for the preparation of a
Downtown Core ConceptNision Plan ("Action Plan").
In July 2008, a multidisciplinary team of experts from EDA W started the work of preparing an Action
Plan for the City. The preparation of the Action Plan is anticipated to take up to nine months to complete
with the following tasks scheduled to be performed: Analysis, Design Options/Alternatives, Preferred
Plan, Development Standards, Zoning/Change of Zone/Overlay, Implementation Plan, Final
ReportlPresentation.
CURRENT ISSUE:
Since July 2008, EDA W has met and conferred with Agency Staff, gathered and researched relevant data,
project site survey, held stakeholder interviews with City and County officials and staff, as well as other
agencies and individuals of interest. In addition, EDA W has also met with the San Bernardino Chamber
of Commerce. In September 2008, EDA W, with the assistance of Agency Staff, held a two day Charrette.
During the two day event, more than 60 individuals attended the Charrette to listen and share their
concerns and ideas.
On November 13, 2008, EDA W, with the assistance of Agency Staff, held a Community Open House
("Open House") to present three alternative strategies for the Action Plan. The Open House provided an
in-depth opportunity for business and community leaders, area residents, public officials and other
interested persons to discuss issues and opportunities facing the revitalization of the downtown area.
More than 130 individuals attended the Open House to listen and share their concerns and ideas.
