The plan is flexible and is a policy rather than a regulatory plan. The implementation of this plan will allow the City to achieve the goals and objectives contained in the General Plan and to create a true measurable and realistic renaissance of Downtown. Background In January 1992, the City of San Bernardino, through its Economic Development Agency, initiated a major process to develop a new plan for Downtown San Bernardino. While there has been progress made in recent years to bring the Downtown back to life, the City recognized that there has been no overall vision or clear direction for our Downtown. Moreover, fragmentation and lack of unity existed, both between City agencies and between the public and private sectors. Working with a Blue Ribbon Task Force and a City administrative team, a new Downtown Plan was developed and adopted by the Common Council in June of 1992. The plan was designed to provide policy guidance and was intended to identify steps that will lead to the revitalization of downtown-- a flexible policy rather than a regulatory plan. After almost three (3)years of real accomplishments, the Agency is now updating and expanding the original plan to reflect the changing dynamics of Downtown. Since the adoption of the original Downtown Plan, Court Street Square has been constructed and over 200 events have been conducted since it opened two years ago. An experimental diagonal parking program was initiated on Court Street and "E" Street, bringing a new sense of activity to Downtown; since then, the diagonal parking has been made permanent along with additional landscape features. New businesses have opened, such as Isabella's Restaurant located on "E" Street. In addition, the State of California has plans to lease 500,000 square feet in two new state-of-the-art office towers on the Superblock, bounded by 4th, 5th, D, and E Streets; and the new Central Police Station, located at the corner of 7th and "D" Streets, is soon to be completed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJL:LML:lag:03-06.01.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 03/06/1995 Agenda Item Number: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT San Bernardino Downtown Framework Plan February 20, 1995 Page Number 2 More importantly, the interest of the private sector has been reinvigorated through the efforts of the Agency and the establishment of the San Bernardino Downtown Business Association(DBA) and the leadership of Carousel Mall. The DBA is focused on both short-term issues, such as improving security, as well as long-term development goals, such as making certain that new development projects including the State Office Complex reinforce downtown business activity. Moreover, Carousel Mall has initiated a major redevelopment proposal that would help to revitalize the complex economically by improving its connections to downtown and making it a true urban shopping center. Anal In September 1993, the Common Council, Community Development Commission and the San Bernardino Downtown Business Association jointly passed a resolution "placing the highest priority on revitalizing downtown San Bernardino, by implementing the San Bernardino Downtown Plan to enhance Downtown as the functional and symbolic center of the City." As a high priority, Downtown faces six(6) key challenges: 1. Attracting new development, thus making the downtown a real "center;" 2. Creating a pedestrian-friendly city; 3. Creating a comprehensive Access and Circulation Strategy; 4. Developing inviting gateways into downtown; 5. Managing safe, lively, and attractive public spaces; and 6. Ringing downtown with revitalized neighborhoods. The above mentioned challenges are described in further detail within the Downtown Summary as well as the Framework Plan(attached). In an effort to encourage further citizen participation in the update of the Downtown Framework Plan, a public forum was held at Court Street Square on July 14, 1994. Over 100 people attended and provided comments on arts and entertainment, activities and events, new development and services, residential development, streetscape and special amenities, traffic and transportation, and security and maintenance. The citizens' comments were utilized to shape the development of the Downtown Framework Plan update and summary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJL:LML:1ag:03-06.01.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 03/06/1995 Agenda Item Number: �_ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT San Bernardino Downtown Framework Plan February 20, 1995 Page Number 3 Summary The Downtown Framework Plan and Summary will be a guide for the City and its citizens to cooperatively work together at enhancing the downtown.

While there had been progress made in recent years to bring the downtown back to life, the City recognized that there was no overall vision or clear direction as to what downtown should be. Moreover, there was much fragmentation and lack of unity, both between city agencies and between the public and private sectors. Working with a Blue Ribbon Task Force and a city administration team, a new downtown plan was developed and adopted by the Common Council in June of 1992. The plan was designed to provide policy guidance and was intended to identify steps that will lead to the revitalization of downtown -- a flexible, policy rather than a regulatory plan. After two years -- two years in which there has been real accomplishment -- the EDA is updating and expanding this original plan to reflect the changing dynamics of downtown. Since June 1992, Court Street Square has been constructed and over 200 events conducted since it opened one year ago. An experimental diagonal parking program was initiated on Court Street and "E" Street, bringing a new sense of activity to downtown: the diagonal parking has been made permanent on Court Street. New businesses have opened, filling the newly renovated parking lot at Court Street Square several nights a week. The State of California has committed to lease 500,000 square feet in two new state-of-the-art office towers on the Superblock (the block bounded by 4th, 5th, "D", and "E" Streets). More importantly, the interest of the private sector has been reinvigorated through the efforts of the Economic Development Agency and the establishment of the San Bernardino Downtown Business Association (DBA) and the leadership of Carousel Mall. The DBA is focussed on both short-term issues, such as improving security, as well as long-term development goals, such as making certain that new development projects like the State office complex reinforces downtown business activity. Moreover, Carousel Mall has initiated a major redevelopment proposal that would help to revitalize the complex economically by improving its connections to downtown and making it a true urban shopping center. In September 1993, the DBA, the Common Council of the City of San Bernardino, and the Community Development Commission jointly passed a resolution "placing the highest priority on revitalizing downtown San Bernardino, by implementing the San Bernardino Downtown Plan to enhance downtown as the functional and symbolic center of the City." 1 About the 1992 Plan During the planning process in 1992, the extent to which downtown suffered from an acutely negative image was fully discovered. Perceived by many as unsafe -- or at the very least uninteresting -- downtown was clearly falling short of being an active, important community center. In fact, it was possible to drive through downtown and not even be aware that it was even there: there were few pedestrians on the street, few shops, and virtually no reason for drivers to slow down. The planning process discovered something as important as the negative attitudes: that there was -- and still are --the resources, interest, and commitment of a broad range of the community to see something great happen in the downtown. The results of outreach efforts, a public forum, and discussions with public and private sector leaders and city staff all showed a strong desire to work together to rebuild the downtown and to bring new life to its public spaces. The downtown plan developed in 1992 reflects the realities of the 1990's, when new approaches are needed to assure the revitalization of downtowns. With a weaker economy and less development activity, cities can no longer look solely to outside developers, chain retailers, and major privately funded capital projects to promote downtown renewal as they did in the 1980's. Cities must now increasingly rely on their own local resources -- human, physical, and economic -- which can be enhanced and built upon to create truly strong downtown centers. The plan outlined just such an approach for Downtown San Bernardino. While addressing longer term development opportunities for the downtown, it also stressed the need for short-term improvements to bring new life and vitality to the downtown in the interim. People want to see change in the downtown and they want to see it soon -- not in several years. The project to create Court Street Square at the corner of Court and "E" Streets is a beginning to seed new activity and vitality into the downtown. As past development demonstrates, retail, restaurants, entertainment, and other uses follow people: to "grow" a downtown from the grass roots, activities need to be established in the downtown. Development will follow and enhance these activities, and will be the stronger for it. As such, the construction of a 500,000 square foot State office complex on the Superblock, is an important accomplishment, but one that should be viewed in terms of an overall continuum of downtown improvements --from a small, short-term improvement to a long-term major development. The management of downtown is also a critical component to the success of a long term downtown plan. Events, security, maintenance and community activities must be carefully promoted and coordinated. The great cultural diversity within the city 2 should be tapped and celebrated as is beginning to happen in Court Street Square. Moreover, the myriad of restrictions that control downtown businesses still need to be modified to encourage entrepreneurs to make investments and improvements in the downtown. The 1992 Plan replaced the Gruen Plan of 1975, which had served as a blueprint for downtown. However, the approach in 1992, compared with 1975, could not have been more different. The 1992 plan looked holistically at the economic and social factors of downtown, rather than regarding it just as a site for major new development. It sought to build on and enhance the traditional aspects of downtown, not create superblock buildings that relate little to the needs of pedestrians walking on the street. It looked to seed activity from within, as well as attract major development that is sensitively scaled, and sought to knit together a series of public spaces, retail, and entertainment facilities that create exciting new places for people to stroll, shop, and enjoy. Any plan cannot be frozen in time. It presents a vision for what is possible, given what is known today. But it should evolve and change. As the community rediscovers downtown, new opportunities will arise. The process initiated during the planning process -- the cooperation between the public and private leadership in the city and between city staff -- has continued to respond to new challenges and opportunities within the basic structure of the 1992 plan. This updated plan presents these opportunities and challenges, following the same principles and goals of the original plan. Format for the Updated Plan The updated plan is presented in two separate documents. In the Framework Plan -- presented here -- overall policy issues and opportunities are presented, for both the downtown and its core area. A separate summary report specifically describes the recommendations for the "center" of downtown and presents the downtown plan in renderings and graphic form. Planning Process A basic premise of the 1992 planning process was that, to be useful, it needed to seek the involvement and solicit ideas from the San Bernardino community. To achieve this goal, outreach through local media programs was undertaken in preparation for a public meeting, held at the San Bernardino Central Library. Ideas developed at the meeting are included in an appendix. 3 In addition to public outreach efforts, surveys of downtown's retail businesses, employees, and shoppers at Carousel Mall were conducted. A total of 1,024 employee surveys was received (out of a total of 3,000 distributed). Two-thirds of all respondents were public sector employees, and 55% were female. Because of the size of this sample, its results are used extensively in the report. Supplementing this work, PPS conducted extensive interviews of public and private sector leaders, studied traffic and pedestrian flow using time-lapse filming, and reviewed previous downtown planning studies. This study was guided by an administrative team representing city agencies responsible for downtown. In addition, a blue ribbon task force was appointed by the Mayor to review study findings and make recommendations to the City Council about future directions for the downtown, based on this study. For the update, a series of focus group discussions was held with key stakeholders, including the Downtown Business Association, City Staff, the Main Street Board, and City Council representatives. A public forum was also held in Court Street Square. This updated plan represents the expanded direction and fine tuning of the original plan that emerged from those meetings. In addition, this updated plan reflects planning work completed since the original 1992 plan, such as the development of site concepts for the Superblock, a redevelopment concept for the perimeter of Carousel Mail to improve its connection to downtown, and permanent streetscape improvements to "E" Street, Court Street, and 4th Street. It should be noted that this updated plan did not involve extensive surveys as was done in 1992. The survey data presented in this report is somewhat out of date, therefore, and does not reflect any improvement in perceptions that may have developed as a result of projects and programs implemented over the past two years. Still, the data provides useful insight into the problems and potential of downtown. DOWNTOWN LAND USE DISTRICTS: AN OVERVIEW Downtown San Bernardino, a mix of land-uses developed over the past 100 years, has evolved into a series of distinct districts. Each district has its own particular problems in terms of vehicle and pedestrian circulation, attracting new development, and design improvements to buildings and public spaces. In the future, city policies, programs, and incentives for development need to address each district in a more specific manner. In particular, if downtown is to address its many problems, a central "core" area must be strengthened and given a higher priority for action both in short and long term policies and programs. 4 f/� Figure 1 shows the location of each district, each of which is described below. In-town Suburban Commercial Carousel Mall, with the adjacent strip retail centers, is the site of the bulk of retail activity which takes place in downtown. This area -- the site of San Bernardino's original "Main Street" -- was redeveloped beginning in the 1960's following suburban parking and retail building standards. Most of the buildings in this area are less than three stories, and have large parking lots located between the city streets and the mall, strip centers, and freestanding retail buildings. The In-town Suburban Commercial district has virtually no public space, except for the quasi-public Carousel Mall interior; pedestrian access and circulation both on sidewalks and through the sea of parking lots is difficult and unpleasant. This area is dominated by cars and traffic, a situation only likely to increase as 5th Street becomes a major traffic arterial connecting downtown to the interstate. Recognizing these deficiencies, the city adopted a new development code to rethink the type of development the city would like to see in the future. The code incorporates design guidelines which encourage improved pedestrian connections and better relationships between adjacent buildings. Unfortunately, the code cannot address the shortcomings of existing developments. In the future, therefore, the city and property owners should focus on retrofitting the intown suburban commercial district to improve pedestrian connections and spaces. Moreover, the pedestrian connections and design of buildings along "E" Street, 2nd Street, and 4th Street in downtown should become more urban, with street-facing retail and parking lots and garages located behind buildings facing the street. These changes have been proposed in the downtown plan, as part of the redevelopment of Carousel Mall. In-town Residential A residential area built in the early parts of this century as single-family bungalows and some multi-family units on individual lots, this district has undergone rapid decline and is experiencing significant security problems. To reclaim this neighborhood, it is vital to address rehabilitation of existing housing as well as new infill construction that will encourage home ownership. In constructing new housing, it is important to maintain the traditional character of the neighborhood with street-facing entrances and front porches, rather than locating garages and other barriers to create a residential fortress-type environment. 9 1' DDDDD D 4°n �DOPr t 1 �I �II `,yam _ I o�oo➢nom .-- _- �. p' 110 09 �aoQff ❑o !

Beyond creating owner-occupied housing however, the city will continue to be faced with issues such as reducing traffic on residential streets (the streets are very wide), improving playgrounds and creating other residential amenities, and establishing on-going security efforts to reduce crime and increase both perceived and actual safety. A comprehensive community development strategy must therefore be developed. Industrial/Warehouse Area An area with much open land as well as various separate industrial and warehouse buildings on individual sites, this district offers vast amounts of land for potential development -- unique for a major urban center. The Central City South Guidelines and the Central City South Overlay in the Development Code describe future developments in this area which focuses on industrial and commercial development anchored by San Bernardino's two shopping malls -- Inland Center and Carousel Mall. These plans are largely stalled, however. Given its proximity to downtown, a future Metrolink Station, and supermarkets and neighborhood shopping, this area should be evaluated for major "New Town," with high density single and multiple family dwellings on the open tracts of vacant land. Such a major redevelopment project would clearly reinforce efforts to revitalize the downtown in general by providing new residents who will patronize stores and businesses. Institutional/Office District This district is the site of the principal core of office and public uses in downtown, including banks, state agencies, the County Courthouse, City Hall, the Sun newspaper, as well as private office buildings. Most of these uses are located in small to medium size office buildings each with their own on-site parking lots. With the development of State office buildings on the Superblock at E and 4th Streets, this district is expanding. This area, while not as hostile to the pedestrian as the Intown Suburban Commercial district, could do more to make it a more pleasant place to walk. Street life is minimal because of the gaps between stand-alone buildings which are poorly designed at the street level. Since there is virtually no retail area left in this district, office workers must venture to the downtown core or the Carousel Mall (or outside downtown altogether) at lunchtime. This walking experience is therefore important to the entire revitalization of downtown. 10 ll/ There are two major public spaces in this district. A park located in front of the new county administrative building is attractively designed, but little used, in part because activities which could attract people ,such as food service) are not located adjacent to it. The City Hall plaza, an austere and formal space, is virtually unusable except as a place to walk through. In looking to the future of this district, the city should work with property owners to address the problems of the area. This work should determine opportunities for retrofitting of existing buildings, in filling the gaps between the buildings, establishing common parking garages, retail amenities, and making public spaces more usable and active. Downtown Core The Downtown Core, the traditional commercial center of downtown, offers the most immediate and long-term potential for development as a active and vital community center. Its lower-scale buildings, street facing retail, central location in terms of transportation and access all are important assets. In addition, this area includes important public facilities, such as City Hall, the Public Library, convention center, and it abuts Carousel Mall. This district includes large amounts of vacant or under utilized land, much of it under public ownership, that is available for new development. 11 A FRAMEWORK PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN Downtown includes the heart of the traditional retail center of San Bernardino, many public uses, major traffic thoroughfares -- in short, all of the ingredients necessary to create a successful downtown. It includes the "Downtown Core" district, as well as significant portions of the institutional/government district as well as Carousel Mall, part of the Suburban Commercial district. This section outlines the principal problems of the Downtown with regard to: • Attraction and design of new development, including retail, office, and residential uses. • Enhancement of the pedestrian environment and reduction of traffic impacts, including improving public spaces and parking access. • Management of downtown, including short-term programs and projects to increase public use as well as maintenance, security, and support for retailers. Each of these topics is described in more detail below. NEW DEVELOPMENT: OFFICE, RETAIL, AND RESIDENTIAL Issues related to new development fall into two essential categories: the need to attract additional private commercial development and the overall design and integration of development to enhance pedestrian activity in downtown. Attracting New Development Findings: New development in downtown San Bernardino over the past 30 years has mainly consisted of the building of public or government facilities (city hall, county courthouse, public library, etc.) or government-sponsored retail redevelopment projects, such as Carousel Mall. While there has been some development of small private office buildings, these projects are greatly outnumbered by the public projects. Each of these development types is described in more detail below. 12 Public Buildings: Today, two new state office buildings are in progress for the Superblock site. The construction of the building for Caltrans, shows that downtown is maintaining its strength as a government center with local, State and Federal facilities. The Superblock project is a proposed mixed-use office and retail located on the entire block bounded by "E", "U', 4th and 5th Streets. Initially, Project for Public Spaces prepared the master plan for the block in late 1991 for private office development. Other potential projects include a federal office building. Plans for a performing arts center, designed 20 years ago as part of the City Hall complex, have been reactivated, and funds are being sought for construction. The Downtown plan recommends a site for this complex on city-owned land next to the public library, reinforcing the civic use of this block and taking advantage of new adjacent parking to be built for the Superblock project. Private Office Buildings: In contrast to public projects, there has been no new private office development of any size in the past 15 years. Within this time, approximately one million square feet of new office space has been constructed in the city as part of the Tri-City Corporate Center. This suburban site is well- designed and offers an attractive alternative to the downtown. In recruiting tenants for downtown, however, resistance from existing firms already located downtown has occurred. Many firms would prefer to locate to the suburban Tri-City project because of negative perceptions about security, parking, and the general downtown environment. PPS's employee surveys expressed the apathetic and often negative perceptions of downtown employees. Downtown employees perceptions show ratings of "fair" or "poor" on most issues, especially with regard to safety, appearance and parking. Such perceptions must be addressed immediately -- by implementing downtown improvements and establishing incentives for new development -- if the downtown is to maintain existing private tenants, much less attract new ones. Retail and Entertainment: Downtown retail, long stagnant, is beginning to expand. The construction of Carousel Mall essentially replaced the old downtown, with the result that there is virtually no sense of a "Main Street" or critical mass of activity outside of the mall. Carousel Mall by its sheer size and proximity continues to siphon off potential traditional retail uses for the downtown outside of the mall. In fact, there are fewer than 50 businesses outside the mall in the greater downtown area. However, recent businesses -- such as and Isabella's Restaurant -- have been able to demonstrate that there is an opportunity for new downtown retail which concentrates on arts and entertainment type uses. Also, proposals to redevelop Carousel Mall to connect the center to downtown -- through new entrance plazas and perimeter retail creating an urban edge to the mall -- will help make the distinction between downtown and the mall less abrupt and more complementary, even with an increased amount of retail space and fourth anchor store being planned for the mall. 13 Surveys of downtown employees revealed many issues important to retail development in downtown. Employees mainly use downtown businesses, including those at Carousel Mail, for doing errands. This situation is due in part, to short lunch hours (only 37% have an hour, and 21% have half an hour or less). As a result, 44% say they usually eat in their offices and only 27% say they "usually" go to a take-out food place in downtown or Carousel Mall. Overall rating of the quality, cost and variety of goods sold downtown was only "fair". Carousel Mall is used to buy clothing and gifts -- more so by women than men -- and most other shopping is done outside of the city. About 47% said they used Carousel Mall once a month or less. For eating out and going to a movie, Hospitality Lane was shown to be a popular destination. Downtown was rated fair (46%) to poor (33%) on the number of eating places and poor (44%) on the number of evening activities (and 33% replied "don't know"). From the perspective of business owners, 10 out of 53 respondents said they would move out of downtown if they had the chance. While most relied heavily on downtown employees, residents of San Bernardino were still considered to be the majority of their customers by most. All of these findings show the great challenge ahead to rebuild downtown retailing. These findings show that there is untapped retail potential in the downtown in terms of the needs of downtown employees. Changing policies such as the length of lunch hours, promoting lunchtime activities, and encouraging more entertainment, new retail and food outlets are among the opportunities that are clearly desirable. Residential Development: The only residential uses constructed within downtown in recent years has been for senior citizens. Because of the existing perceptions of the downtown, it is not surprising that there has been little demand for other residential development within the core area. However, as downtown improves, there is substantial opportunity to revitalize existing neighborhoods and create new neighborhoods immediately surrounding the core downtown district -- thus creating a 24-hour community. This effort should capitalize on existing city programs to create and rehabilitate housing throughout the city. Recommendations: For downtown to prosper, it must maximize its potential in terms of specific market "niches" where it has a real chance to attract potential tenants and users. Although a systematic market study of downtown was not conducted as part of this plan, it is clear that the development potential of downtown lies initially in a number of areas: 14 • As a central focal point for government offices (city, state, and federal), continuing to build on the extensive government office presence already in the downtown. • Private office development for tenants, such as law firms and financial institutions, who utilize the above facilities. However, such private office development in today's economic climate will be difficult without significant city subsidy. • Carousel Mall contains over a million square feet of retail space. Carousel Mall needs to physically become a more integral part of the downtown by creating public spaces at its major entrances, and create a retail presence all along its perimeter that would accessible from the sidewalk. In this way, Carousel Mall would have a stronger presence on the street rather than hide behind expanses of asphalt, parking garages and empty spaces. In addition, some of its parking capacity located near the intersection of Fourth and T" Streets could accommodate the parking needs of future evening entertainment and restaurant facilities that will be located in the center of downtown. • Arts and entertainment uses, including both public projects (a performing arts center) as well as all types of private retailing opportunities, including restaurants, nightclubs, specialty retailing, antique and craft stores, etc. -- uses which would not compete directly with Carousel Mall, but would build on the lunchtime and after-work audience of downtown employees. A multiplex movie theater should be pursued as an anchor for a downtown entertainment district. Other entertainment uses could take place in both existing and new infill buildings. In addition, the feasibility of bringing working artists to downtown should be explored, by creating opportunities for galleries, studios, classes, and even housing or live/work spaces -- especially to take advantage of existing vacant buildings. Artists can also be used to enliven public spaces through outdoor displays of permanent and rotating public art. • Housing for families as well as senior citizens, and single professionals, located in both single family and multi-family housing projects primarily in neighborhoods adjacent to the Downtown Core. (See "Downtown Residential" below.) 15 Since these new development projects cannot be established overnight, it is important to build upon existing activities which draw the broader community downtown. Programs at Court Street Squ,.ee, for example, need to continue to expand. The Central Library, located at 6th and "E" Streets, is also not recognized as the draw to downtown and could do more to better relate to downtown activity. The potential to create "Rhythm Alley," between Court and 4th Streets, to connect existing jazz and nighttime uses at La Casita and Copasetic Cafe, is another example of building on existing resources, and creating a strong identity for an area that can attract other complementary uses. The City of San Bernardino, as Figure 2 shows, is the principle owner of vacant j land in the downtown. Because the city owns large parcels of land in the downtown, it is in a unique position to leverage private sector development, which at this point cannot work without such support. In addition, with proposed projects such as the Performing Arts Center, the city can help to program new uses into now under used areas making them more attractive for related private development. It is clear that the city will have to continue to play a pivotal role in encouraging new private development, especially in today's depressed real estate market. Already, the city controls much land and is willing to consider construction of needed infrastructure, such as parking garages. However, more may be necessary. If the city wishes to encourage private development, assistance with financing of the construction may also be necessary. This makes it all the more important to make sure that funds are spent wisely and that new development truly does have a positive impact on downtown. In the short term, the city must demonstrate progress with projects that attract people downtown (described below). This should include efforts to lengthen lunch hours and promote lunchtime activities -- to get people out of their offices and into public spaces and retail establishments. In order to develop other opportunities for downtown, a coordinated program which seeks to market and promote specific development opportunities should be prepared. As part of this effort, more specific design concepts for new development projects may need to be developed. The concepts should describe in more detail the functional arrangement of the site; types, location and feasibility of different land uses; ground floor uses and design; parking requirements; and overall design character and theme. When appropriate, the EDA should work with property owners to solicit development interest for specific sites that would meet the design concepts proposed. 16 DOD00 1301F Id Ap 00 is I I �❑ Si _L.7...__ n �o j. 0➢OuQ❑ o ❑➢➢00[7 .— � —� ➢---' o i 4 j(.

Every new building created in the downtown should be seen as a piece of a mosaic, that once finished, will result in a downtown which has a series of public places and a coherent urban fabric. New development will also not function unless it is knit together with streets, sidewalks, and public spaces which balance the needs of people on foot with those in vehicles. Creating a more effective pedestrian environment, including more sidewalk space in key areas, is therefore absolutely essential if the downtown is to be revitalized. Although the diagonal parking experiment and streetscape improvements constructed in recent years have helped considerably, efforts to reduce vehicular dominance of streets, including excessive speeds, need to be continued and expanded. (These issues are discussed in detail in the next section.) More, usable and lively public spaces are also needed. While Court Street Square is a good beginning, other public spaces in downtown need to be retrofitted and new public areas created to serve unmet needs and to serve as the focal point for new development. Designing New Development Findings: The approach to new development in downtown to date has not lived up to expectations. Most buildings constructed prior to the adoption of the new development code, with the Main Street overlay district, are poorly designed at street level, with setbacks, blank walls, and mirrored glass which do little to create an interesting pedestrian experience. Moreover, the Gruen Plan instituted a second level pedestrian circulation system around City Hall, with an elevated plaza and a bridge over "E" Street. Fortunately, this plan was never completed (a performing arts center and office building were to be built on the Court and 4th parking lot) so that there is now an opportunity to re-establish street level -- and reinforce the remaining existing retail core of downtown. For projects proposed after the establishment of the overlay district, problems have emerged with regard to enforcement of guidelines and when guidelines have not been developed to address a specific issues. From the perspective of re-establishing a strong street-level downtown, the issue of preservation of existing buildings becomes especially important. The vast majority of buildings built prior to World War If have been demolished in the core area of downtown. What is left, therefore, becomes even more important, especially on the block of Court to 4th, "E" to "D", where the largest concentration 17 of older buildings remains. If a coherent urban fabric is to be created, then the scale and identity of existing buildings needs to be respected when new development occurs on adjacent vacant sites. Recommendations: In its new development code, the City has established guidelines for new infill, small scale construction, as well as for some basic issues relating to public plazas and ground floor design for large developments. The overlay district needs to be expanded and strengthened with regard to a number of issues, including: • the prohibition of new second level walkways and plaza spaces; • more specific guidelines for large scale office, retail, and residential development, including location and design considerations for parking garages; • more specific guidelines for design of usable public spaces (seating, orientation, adjacent retail uses, etc.). However, these standards cannot, by themselves, create effective new development. As noted above, the city, by virtue of its ownership of many vacant parcels, can work with property owners to set forth a vision for specific development sites that meet the guidelines and can be used to market plans to prospective developers, as well as amend the development code with regard to overlay district guidelines. Public Spaces Findings: The construction of Court Street Square addresses a major shortcoming of downtown, which previously lacked any well-used public space. Plazas and public gathering spaces that did exist were elevated (City Hall Plaza) or devoid of adjacent retail or food uses which would help to activate them (County Administration Building park). A central focal point for the community, Court Street Square was designed to be a highly programmed space. Under the direction of Main Street, uses have included markets, concerts, and special events, as well as simply a place for people to sit, eat, and socialize. The square opens onto the adjacent parking lot the upgrading of which has recently been completed, that often serves as spillover or supplemental programming space. In addition, because the square is accessed from both street-level and the adjacent second plaza., it connects the two spaces visually and functionally. 18 �a, Recommendations: While Court Street Square is a good beginning, other public spaces in downtown need to be retrofitted and new public areas created to serve as the focal point for new development or redevelopment. Special attention needs to be paid to amenities for these spaces -- fountains, seating, public art, trees and arbors for shade, flowers, and dramatic night lighting. Figure 3 illustrates existing public spaces and new public spaces associated with new development areas. Recommended new/retrofitted spaces include: • New courtyard entrances to Carousel Mall with active retail edges. The existing courtyard on "E" Street should be retrofitted, and new courtyard/plazas created at the South Entrance to Harris' and new entrances to all of Carousel Mall's anchor department stores. These spaces will help improve the pedestrian connections between the Mall and downtown -- and create amenities for shoppers and visitors to Carousel Mall. • An entertainment-oriented plaza with cafes, kiosks, and street performers as part of the proposed cineplex complex at 4th and "E" Streets. This space would be animated by adjacent retail and entertainment uses, with outdoor cafes and special amenities. • A new state plaza on "E" Street and 4th Street as part of the Superblock project, with an immediately adjacent restaurant and retail. This space should provide an amenity for building employees and visitors, as well as draw other users of downtown. • "Rhythm Alley" -- an alley connecting 4th and Court Streets with outdoor seating and performance areas -- linking several jazz clubs and other night spots. The Breezeway -- a pleasantly scaled walkway between 4th and Court Street which needs minor improvements and more active adjacent uses. 19 .r...• DoD❑0 0 ono>znn no r ' o - E3 o �i ❑A17n c rw .nur +w .a.r tA • ono tj I MA AM M - � �g: � 6 ❑ LLJ Gan--m❑n .13 .w .raa• .n .Haar b ❑ 110 CD K O� i ' — ❑ LLL..JJJ i I p I❑ ll irl rn .r.asr rw ...• na° n 11 IFO Ti CALIFORNIA THEATER 1 STATE OFFICE 1 77 - COMPLEX j 1 .

NY 10014 • EXISTING PUBLIC SPACES OPROPOSED PUBLIC SPACES y,, NEW DEVELOPMENT SITES CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE ACCESS AND CIRCULATION STRATEGY The lack of a continuing street life and vital;'( in the downtown contributes to the perception of insecurity, blight, and the sense that downtown is not a good place to locate or run a business. It makes people uncomfortable or unwilling to walk very far from a parking lot to their destination. Creating a more effective pedestrian environment is, therefore, absolutely essential if the downtown is to be revitalized. An effective pedestrian strategy for downtown cannot be accomplished in a vacuum. There needs to be a coordinated approach to downtown transportation and circulation issues, including parking, public transportation, bicycling, and the connection of downtown to the new Metrolink Station. Successful downtowns integrate all of these functions. In the heart of downtown -- "E" Street, "D" Street, sections of 4th Street, and Court Street -- streets should, for example, accommodate parking, diagonal and parallel, to serve adjacent businesses. Streets should also accommodate safe and comfortable pedestrian crossings, as well as a mix of traffic -- public transportation and private vehicles. California, through its stringent air quality regulation, also requires employers to reduce automobile use by employees, a factor which can help frame other downtown circulation improvements. This section describes the three most important areas regarding activation of pedestrian areas in downtown: relationship to vehicular traffic and transit and parking. Traffic Transit and Pedestrian Use Findings:. A major planning recommendation in 1992 was to address the problem of vehicular dominance of downtown streets. There was no hierarchy of vehicles versus pedestrians in the street network downtown: all streets were basically oriented more to the needs of people in vehicles than those on foot. Time-lapse photography of "E" Street and Court Street on a typical weekday in January of 1992 showed that these streets operate with virtually no congestion, even during peak periods. The time-lapse also showed that space now allocated for moving vehicles is excessive, and that re-allocation to pedestrian or parking use seemed possible for the foreseeable future. Because of the lack of congestion, people could drive at relatively high speeds, which further reduced the feeling that this was a downtown at all. 20 11111 � � �.1�• = �+■■' '��11 ■, 7 ■■' `•, .. �■ice �� -{ . � � � v '11 � i �� � ■■111 I � 11.1 _ .11.11 1 •Nt1'.�N\ - :� ■ . ■ 1. � ■ 1 _ ME ZI � , CITY OF SAN • 1 • DOWNTOWN . . PROJECT SPACES,BUS ROUTES FOR PUBLIC LINES 153 WAVERLY PLACE 1-3 BUS NEW YORK. NY 10014 LINES 4-5 BUS LINES 6-8 BUS LINES 9-11 BUS Parking was limited to a few spaces on the streets, where drivers parked parallel to the curb. During the construction of streetscape improvements in downtown, additional red or no-parking zones were also instituted, to facilitate traffic flow. This increased the already excessive space for vehicular traffic, while making it less convenient for downtown shoppers to park. Crossing streets was also perceived to be difficult in downtown: 45% of employees said that crossing streets was "a problem" or "serious problem," with women more critical than men on this issue. Not only are the streets wide, but the speed and dominance of vehicles made pedestrians wary about crossing streets. Another problem is the size of blocks, which, at about 600 feet, are two to three times longer than blocks in other cities, including New York City and downtown LA. In such situations, the provision of mid-block crosswalks in key locations becomes central for pedestrian mobility. With regard to pedestrians, sidewalks are generally very narrow. Recently constructed streetscape improvements have made a major difference in overall image, but activity is still light, in part because sidewalks were not widened. (However, streetscape elements were designed to be relocatable in the future if widening did occur.) This width acts as an additional barrier. As with "E" Street, sidewalks are also too narrow, but, unlike "E" Street, they have not yet been improved with streetscape treatments. As part of any reconsideration of downtown circulation, consideration for bicycling should be investigated. While currently light, the City lacks a bicycle policy, a city wide network of designated routes, and, for commuters, adequate facilities. To begin to address these problems, an experimental diagonal parking program was initiated, first on Court Street and then on "E" Street between 2nd and 6th Streets. The purpose of the experiment was to test the impact of diagonal parking on both traffic flow and pedestrian activity, and to make modifications as necessary to address problems that emerged. Finally, public transportation is an important activity on downtown streets. In 1992, bus routes through the downtown were reorganized to consolidate bus activity along 4th Street. (See Figure 4 for existing bus routes map.) The creation of the 4th Street Transit Mall (not actually a mall, but simply enhanced waiting areas and easier transfers), while a positive addition to the downtown, needs to be modified with the development of the Superblock. Sidewalks are currently too narrow to accommodate shelters and the anticipated increased pedestrian traffic. Although transit ridership remains very light, ridership is increasing, as more bus service is added. In addition, with the 1993 opening of Metrolink Commuter rail 21 �r� service from San Bernardino to downtown Los Angeles, connecting bus service to downtown may also increase. Metrolink offers many potential benefits to downtown if effective public transit links are created. Recommendations: Improving the pedestrian environment in downtown San Bernardino should continue to involve a rethinking of the utilization of streets and developing a better balance between pedestrians and vehicles. A comprehensive strategy for downtown circulation is needed which: • Creates streets which balance pedestrian and vehicular needs. A hierarchy of streets should be established to create more pedestrian- friendly access on "E" Street, Court Street, and 4th Street in particular -- as well as more clearly identified major vehicular streets. The concept of traffic calming -- slowing speeds to about 20 MPH in downtown -- should be tested and implemented. • Establishes an overall management system for parking, including parking requirements, enforcement, rate structure, and new development (see below.) • Works to increase utilization of public transit and establishes a connection to the Metrolink station. • Creates an effective integration of bicycles downtown into a city-wide bicycle network. • Continues programs to reduce private auto commuting, such as ride sharing and van pooling. Figure 5 shows a proposed new street hierarchy plan for downtown which develops a network of mixed pedestrian and vehicular streets. These streets should have posted reduced traffic speeds: "Pedestrian Area/Speed Limit 20 MPH", on-street diagonal or parallel parking, and wider sidewalks. A median strip in some areas may be desirable, as well as neckdowns at intersections to reduce the distance for pedestrians to cross. In addition, Court Street and the new streets in the Superblock project, which are not major vehicular streets, should allow car access but be primarily oriented to pedestrians. They should include narrow lane widths, parallel or diagonal parking, wide sidewalks, and possible special paving treatments (such as brick) to the street space itself. Table One shows specific recommendations for each mixed pedestrian/vehicular street or primary oriented to pedestrians. 22 - .� 1 = _ min Menlo III �/ ■ 0 I ' rwtra.Lriil S ' ■ fir � ■ �� i �� I■ II •F SAN BERNARDINO DOWNTOWN URBAN PLAN IGURE ' ' PROJECT FOR PUBLIC PROPOSED STREET HIERARCHY SPACES, YORK.153 WAVERLY PLACE PRIMARY VEHICULAR NEW MIXED PEDESTRIANIVEHICULAR PEDESTRIAN SEEN PRIMARY PROPOSED PRIMARY PEDESI�N (NnV STREET) COREAREA TABLE ONE: PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN/VEHICULAR IMPROVEMENTS POSTED SIDEWAIR PARKING MEDIAN STRIPS MIDBIOCC SPEED IDATIS WIDENINGS CROSSINGS Parallel Diagonal E STREET X X X X(part) X D STREET X X X ARROWHEAD X X 3rd STREET X X COURT STREET X X X X 4th STREET X X X X G-STREET EXTENSION X X X X X Sth Saica X F Strc m X Implementation of streetscape and traffic changes may continue to be done in a phased manner. With the construction of the Superblock project, sidewalk widening, neckdowns and other improvements should be constructed on "E" Street between 2nd and 6th Streets, and 4th Street oetween "D" and "F" Streets. This will help create the strong pedestrian connections necessary between the Superblock and downtown retail. The 4th Street project should modify locations of bus waiting areas and shelters to reduce impact on adjacent uses. In addition, a bus information center should be established on 4th Street. Signalized and clearly marked midblock crossings will be necessary in several locations to respond to existing and future pedestrian use patterns. These include the entrance to Carousel Mall on "E" Street, the "Breezeway" connection on Court Street, and crosswalks in connection with the new streets proposed for the Superblock ("D", "E", 4th, and 5th Streets). Finally, while the transit mall and new bus shelters in downtown have greatly improved the comfort of using public transportation, the low utilization by employees should be increased through promotional and marketing efforts related to increased service. While this should be a long-term effort, it will eventually help relieve the demand for parking and take advantage of the city's "hub" position within the bus system. Parkin Findings: Parking is a complex issue in any downtown, and the perception of availability is determined by many factors, including overall attractiveness and ease in walking from one place to the next. In San Bernardino, parking is abundant, but is not conveniently located for many users, such as shoppers and employees who wish to park as close to their destination as possible. As a result, the perception of parking by employees is that it "is a problem" (31%) or a "serious problem" (29%); 41% also rated the number of convenient parking spaces as "poor". This perception is exacerbated by the poor pedestrian environment, which makes any walk an uninteresting and uncomfortable one. Women are particularly critical about parking, as they are about safety, showing a close relationship between the overall negative perception of downtown and their willingness to walk any distance to parking. Vast amounts of land are currently used for parking in downtown, principally on open lots, but also in two garages at Carousel Mall and City Hall. The proliferation of parking lots diminishes pedestrian activity throughout the downtown. Unfortunately, the number of parking lots have increased in recent decades as buildings are demolished to provide more adjacent parking for office and retail uses. Not all lots are well utilized, and the city's Facilities Management Department reports that the vacancy rate exceeds 30% in downtown. 23 There is no comprehensive parking strategy for downtown that takes into consideration future needs. A Parking Assessment District, overseen by the Parking Commission, provides some guidancp,, but it is essentially a mechanism by which property owners can provide parking ror their employees and customers off- site. Under the development code, the city recognizes that it is difficult to meet on- site parking requirements in the downtown and does not require parking unless a building is enlarged more than 25%or if use is changed and a building is expanded up to 25% more in size. Even then, a parking study can be undertaken to demonstrate how parking can be handled off site. However, more can be done to reduce on-site parking requirements and better manage shopper parking in general in the downtown. Moreover, there is little attempt to manage existing parking: to reduce illegal on- street parking or to encourage people to park in the City Hall Garage, instead of in parking lots, to maximize the amount of short-term, convenient parking for shoppers. As development occurs, such as on the Superblock or behind the California Theater, existing lots will be eliminated, and new garages will be required. However, if there is not overall effective management of all downtown parking, garages could exacerbate abuse of on-street or parking lots by employees who are supposed to park in the garage, but won't. From a design perspective, new garages can, if improperly located and designed, negatively impact the downtown. For example, a garage would be most problematic on the Court/4th -D to E Block as it would use up all vacant land and negatively impact existing historic buildings. At other locations, parking garages will face major streets or development sites. Currently, there is a lack of guidelines in the Main Street Overlay District concerning ground floor design, vehicular access, user safety as well as overall design character of garages. Recommendations: An overall strategy for parking is proposed to deal with existing perceptions as well as long-term changes required when new development occurs (see Figure 6) . Fundamental to this strategy is the need for the Parking District and Commission to strengthen its role in downtown over the long term. This should involve simplification of parking requirements for downtown businesses. It is recommended that tenants and building owners only be required to provide, through the Parking District, sufficient parking for employees. There should be no on-site parking requirement for existing small retail businesses or new infill buildings. (Parking requirements for construction of large office developments should remain, however.) The Parking Commission should take over the responsibility of assuring that there is an adequate supply of parking for downtown customers, both on the street and in existing lots. This may be done through enforcement or special downtown employee parking permits, as well as incentives for using public transit and carpools. 24 In the short term, the diagonal parking experiments on Court Street, having proved to be successful, should be made permanent and extended to the block between "D" and Arrowhead. The "E" Street diagonal parking should continue to be monitored and refined. Future experiments should be considered for portions of 4th Street and "D" Street as well. As new development occurs, adjacent parking garages will be required. Figure 7 shows proposed locations for new garages. When possible, common garages serving multiple uses should be encouraged. As garages are built, the city should consider establishing a Parking Authority, with bonding powers, to build and manage all parking in the downtown. Since authorities must generate income to support their activities, this recommendation is feasible only when a fee structure is in place sufficient to underwrite such efforts. i 25 l'i9 all I onoQQR I -- _❑ I ❑ 000 1113 'i DO !

NY 10014 • PROPOSED FUTURE PARKING GARAGE LOCATIONS CITY CENTER EXISTING PARKING LOTS TO BE PHASED OUT WITH DEVELOPMENT Met /n DOWNTOWN GATEWAYS The important entrance points to a downtown are critical introductions areas for visitors and regular users as well. For visitor, gateways are where first impressions of the area are created and directional information conveyed regarding the location of landmarks, services, districts and major streets. For regular users, such as shoppers and commuters, the design and appearance of gateways have a major impact on their overall impressions of the downtown. In San Bernardino, the predominant gateway is by vehicle. However, a new gateway at the Metrolink Station is beginning to develop with the opening of commuter rail service. Both gateways are discussed below. Vehicular Gateways Findings: Presently, the vehicular entrances from the 1-215 freeway to the center of the City are not distinguished or attractive, tending to reinforce negative perceptions about Downtown San Bernardino as one arrives into the city. There are no strong visual cues to let drivers know that they have actually entered Downtown San Bernardino, nor signage telling people about key destinations. As one drives into Downtown along 2nd Street after exiting the 1-215, the lack of defined edges as result of setting low buildings behind parking lots, creates unattractive and unmemorable entrances. These are uneventful places to drive along and are not pedestrian friendly. Many unattractive or deteriorating buildings that greet visitors driving along 5th Street, which tends to heighten people's security fears about downtown. Recommendations: The appearance of the both the east-west and north-south gateway streets (2nd, 4th, 5th, G, H, and Arrowhead Streets) should be improved with landscaped medians, historic style street lights, orientation signage and public art to welcome visitors to Downtown San Bernardino and guide them to their destination within downtown. Streetscape improvements should be combined with facade improvements to buildings and, if appropriate, redevelopment of sites to upgrade properties along gateway streets. In some instance, these sites are opportunities for major new residential development discussed below. Metrolink Findings: The Sante Fe/Metrolink depot, located just west of the Interstate 215 on 3rd Street, is a grand structure -- soon to be restored -- built in the historic Spanish tradition of many other train stations found in Southern California. The return of regular commuter service has created a significant opportunity to reuse and renovate this transportation facility. While current ridership is currently low, service will expand beyond San Bernardino to Redlands. 26 Metrolink has created another means of getting to Downtown San Bernardino and will allow Downtown residents an additional means of access to other points along Metrolink's route. However, Metrolink's presence is minimal, because of its somewhat remote location relative to downtown as well as the lack of development around the station. Recommendations: Stronger vehicular, transit, and pedestrian connections should be created from the Downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods to the rail station. These improvements can be accomplished, in part, through the "gateway" programs described above. Transit connections should be studied as part of the proposed comprehensive downtown circulation study. For the station itself, a major upgrading now in planning stages needs to be accompanied by a redevelopment of the surrounding area. This plan should consider both short term cosmetic improvements as well as longer term development opportunities created by the renewal of the station. 27 DOWNTOWN MANAGEMENT The concept that downtowns can be managed emerged as an important concept in the 1980's. It was realized that such activities as coordinating retail activities, improving maintenance and security, and sponsoring promotions and events was an important, and often overlooked, component of downtown revitalization. In San Bernardino, Main Street, Inc., a division of the Economic Development Agency, was established to revitalize downtown, improve its economic and social environment, and create a safe, comfortable place in which to work, live, shop, invest, and be entertained. Since its founding in 1987, Main Street has acted as a facilitator and clearinghouse for downtown activities and has mobilized community resources and energy to improve the downtown. With the completion of Court Street Square, Main Street has served as the overall manager for the space, both coordinating events by others as well as sponsoring their own events, such as Friday Night TGIF party. Among the other activities of Main Street are newsletters and training programs, a facade and signage grant program, retail recruitment, and coordination of streetscape improvements. Main Street's program area is shown in Figure 7. Three of the most important management programs are discussed below: events and activities, maintenance and security, and retail assistance. Events and Activities Findings: As noted, Main Street has organized many events and activities in the past few years, especially since the opening of Court Street Square. Main Street is continuing outreach to the community to make sure that the Square is programmed as often as possible. Types of events that have occurred in the Square -- that could not have occurred before include theatrical performances, chess tournaments, film festivals, and even weddings. Events include specific activities oriented to downtown employees at lunchtime as well as events that regularly draw the broader community on evenings and weekends. These activities will allow experimentation with potential ideas that could help establish downtown as an arts and entertainment district -- concepts that can be incorporated in new retail and entertainment facilities, such as a performing arts center, and build new community support for downtown. City regulation, policies, and fees have long inhibited the ability to stage events and bring more activity into the downtown. These ordinances prohibit desirable activities that take place in public spaces (such as vending and street entertainment) as well as limit uses related to specific businesses (cafes, entertainment, banners, balloons, etc). Moreover, most businesses surveyed felt 28 i I -- DaDDO_0 oTM 0 o4n�n O�o��b Q�a a❑I �O a'p°;,0 L❑7�' ❑- ❑ ❑.r—."❑,o❑N❑':.� O. �- L3 A O 00000,11 ( 0➢ 111102 tj oil Li Q 13 wa On El- ❑O n •� i• `�❑ o, Joao ❑ �� Q � 77 o j 4° � - -.- � - ❑ o a� [�� .oi ' ❑ 1.

NY 10014 PROPOSED IIIGH ACTIVITY EXPERIMENTAL ZONE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT MAIN STREET PROGRAM AREA ,GIL MORT9 that not only were city restrictions onerous, but license fees and taxes were too high. For example, a Business Improvement District (Figure 7) imposes a double business license fee on retail businesses within its boundaries, but the proceeds are not dedicated specifically to downtown projects. Recommendations: To reduce unnecessary restrictions and to encourage downtown activity, an experimental "High Activity Zone" is recommended to streamline city approvals and reduce unnecessary restrictions for events, activities, and retail permits in a defined zone downtown. (See Figure 8 for proposed boundaries). The zone would address issues such as parking standards, vending, entertainment/gaming licenses, sidewalk encroachments (cafes, displays), signs, street entertainments, and awnings. Maintenance and Securitv Findings: Developing positive perceptions that downtown is safe and clean is an important goal for any downtown. However, many factors influence people's perceptions of cleanliness and safety which have to be taken into consideration in developing appropriate responses. Maintenance, in general, is perceived as adequate by downtown employees: two- thirds rated the cleanliness of streets and sidewalks as "good" (13%) or "fair" (54%). However, there were many complaints at the same time that many downtown buildings looked dilapidated, that vacant lots were unattractive, and there was too much graffiti. With the construction of streetscape improvements, maintenance becomes an even more important issue: keeping amenities and landscaping attractive and well-maintained. Although police report actual crime rate is relatively low in the downtown core area, security is still perceived as a problem by many downtown businesses and employees. For example, although 62% of employees rated safety during the day as "Fair" or"Good", 69% rated it as "Poor" during the evening. Women were even more critical of security downtown. As with maintenance, there were many complaints about the homeless and general lack of activity, which made a walk to the parking lot or garage a fearful experience. Recently, the police department has created a bike patrol and a "Problem Oriented Policing (P.O.P.)" Program to address target areas. The basis of these programs -- to increase visibility of security on the street -- is important and can be enhanced with other efforts to attract people to use public spaces more frequently. One possibility is to establish a committee of downtown employees and business people to work with the police to identify causes of perceived and actual security problems. The Downtown Business Association is taking the lead in this effort. 29 Recommendations: Efforts to improve the maintenance and security of downtown public spaces should be undertaken hand-in-hand with event programming and other activities. Upgrading the appearance of buildings and parking lots through short-term improvements along with regular sweeping and cleaning of sidewalks can dramatically change the perception of downtown. Street sweepers have the added benefit of being extra "eyes on the street", improving security. From a security perspective, the city should work with the police to improve the visibility of their presence in the downtown. While a foot patrol at lunch or more bike patrols will help, the basic issue is to attract more people. In the short term this can be accomplished through events and activities. As development occurs, planning should be undertaken to assure that spaces are open and accessible and visible to the public and that areas such as parking garages are designed with security in mind. Retail Support Findings: Main Street has been quite active in helping downtown retailers with facade and signage grants, special promotions, and generally helping to encourage new retail uses. However, retail recruitment remains a critical problem, and there is a particular need for retail recruitment for anchor attractions, like movie theaters and major restaurants, that will increase general foot traffic in the downtown. The employee survey demonstrated that there is a market for new retail, such as restaurants and entertainment. The short-term program to attract people for events, entertainment, food festivals, and markets is beginning to establish in people's minds that downtown can be a destination for such uses. For example, there has been interest expressed in antique shops in the downtown: a first step for this type of retail could be a regular collectibles market inviting area antique dealers to display and sell their wares. This grass-roots approach to retail development can complement and help facilitate traditional recruitment efforts. I 30 Recommendations: Court Street Square should continue to incubate both activity as well as to test the viability of specific new businesses. Local entrepreneurs and existing businesses should continue to be encouraged to participate in activities, events, and markets on the Square. In addition, an antique or crafts market should be considered for the square to help build support for permanent such uses in the downtown. Efforts such as the facade and signage grant program, retail promotions, and other similar initiatives should continue in the future. Main Street and EDA should place particular emphasis on the High Activity Zone designed to expedite the city approvals necessary to start a business downtown. i I 31 DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL Downtown San Bernardino can become a truly mixed use area by creating connections to and revitalizing existing residential areas immediately adjacent to the north and east of the downtown core. These residential areas provide both housing options for downtown workers and a population base that will shop and utilize the entertainment and cultural opportunities available in Downtown. Creating Neighborhoods Findings: Existing residential areas adjacent to downtown are severely blighted, which detracts from the viability of downtown itself. In the residential community north of 5th Street, there are extensive social problems and deterioration, in part because of the lack of owner occupied housing and the increased number of non- single family residences. There are many vacant lots where new housing should be constructed. The feelings of neighborhood is further diminished by streets that are much too wide for residential streets. The EDA's "Neighborhood Spirit" program is a comprehensive focused neighborhood improvement strategy to address both social needs and physical blight within identified target neighborhoods, as well as construction of new infill housing. While the "Spirit" program has identified target neighborhood close to Downtown, none in its first year are immediately adjacent. In addition, there is opportunity for new housing. Both the Sante Fe railway yard south of the Rialto, in the EDA's Central City South redevelopment area, and the present location of Cal Trans are opportunities for future mixed use residential communities. However, residential is not currently considered as a potential use for this site. Recommendations: Residential areas north, south and east of Downtown should be targeted for revitalization and new construction and master plans prepared (Figure 8). In both existing and future residential areas, ordinances should allow for infill housing, smaller lots and higher density single family home ownership. However, new housing should not be constructed without a comprehensive residential development or neighborhood revitalization plans that will shape these neighborhoods into socially supportive and secure places where people know and work together to "grow" their community. Such comprehensive programs should address security, recreation, social services, etc. Importantly, residential streets should scaled in such a way that it pulls the houses on both sides of the street closer together to create a more intimate and cohesive neighborhood environment. By narrowing residential streets, vehicular speeds are also reduced to a comfortable level for pedestrians and residents. Some of the 32 wider residential streets such as "F", "G", "H" and 7th Streets should become neighbor boulevards with landscaped medians. Attractive public spaces, comfortable pace of vehicular traffic begins to create a stronger perception of community and promotes a more secure environment for children and the elderly who live in these neighborhoods. 33 �J o1p�p p o��a4°_o p °, ❑ i o> o aaQna � 01311 o 0 i7flo0 0 T[[., IJ 0 !Q —Nojjli 641)00 L r3 rpI p NEIGHBORHOOD a . -e : -T to .roar In tnaar Q � • ❑ �`- °- , T om_ 1 1. prg�q . i � r ❑ [nr rtta TT,Il..11j . ! ,rH F J1 tin - - -� -CITY CENTER Oil lati [[li / V EAST END .ID a i NEIG RHOOD � ❑ `Ij-- Q ' -.7 Eff o � MEE r ° i SOUTH END .,...

NY 10014 IMPLEMENTATION The implementation of the Downtown Plan began during the planning process in 1992 -- stemming from the concept that small-scale, incremental improvements based on the community's own visions of what it needs can provide quick, productive enhancements that sets the stage for meaningful long term development. Under the Economic Development Agency, including its Main Street division, Court Street Square has been constructed and diagonal parking created. These and other improvements helped to create the momentum for the new Government Center project and the proposed redevelopment of Carousel Mall. Figure 9 graphically presents the Downtown Plan. Additional graphics are included in the separate summary report. The Economic Development Agency and the City of San Bernardino will continue to take the leadership in the renewal of the downtown, working with local businesses and the Downtown Business Association as well as other city agencies. Implementation of the plan requires the following actions on the part of the EDA and the City: • Policy changes with regards to zoning and ordinances which currently restrict many downtown activities. These changes must involve coordination with the Department of Planning and Building Services as well as the creation of a high activity zone managed by all of the city departments with regulations impacting the downtown. • Additional planning studies, especially with regard to downtown circulation. Requests for proposals should be issued in the near future for the circulation study to assure that development proposed in this plan can be accommodated within the street network. • Construction of improvements to public spaces -- with special focus on "E" Street, 4th Street, and Court Street sidewalk widenings and streetscape improvements. It is important that improvements on the Superblock site be implemented with the construction of the complex, with other streetscape improvements completed so that when the state offices open there is an inviting connection between the state buildings and downtown. Management programs for Court Street Square and maintenance/security efforts -- under the direction of Main Street. Increasing the number of activities and events, as well as outreach to the community, is an ongoing effort. The Downtown Business Association can also play a role in management activities, especially with regard to downtown security. 34 • Investment in downtown development through financial loans, grants, assistance in site assemblage, and project management assistance to maintain existing downtown users and attract new users. This, of course, is a central function of EDA. The three high priority projects for the EDA should be: • The Superblock (Phase I now in development, but future phases of development are possible). • The California Theater/Entertainment complex. A parking garage will be constructed on the site as part of the Superblock project, as well as the parking structure on the Superblock itself. Along with proposed changes to Carousel Mall will help make this site a very attractive location for a multiscreen cinema and retail complex. • Carousel Mall Redevelopment and Expansion. With its public spaces owned by the City, the City has been and continues to play a key role in the redevelopment and expansion of Carousel Mall. In addition, public improvements and developments outside the mall, including streetscape improvements and the Superblock and Entertainment Centers, are also necessary in order to undertake a coordinated approach the revitalization of downtown as a whole. This comprehensive strategy requires that both short term improvements and longer term development strategy be continued to be pursued concurrently. The result, however, should go beyond economic return to consider what this project means to the community itself. All too often, in implementing policies and undertaking new development, the overall vision is sometimes forgotten. For San Bernardino, the true test of the plan is whether a new center of community life is created: a place where there are comfortable places to walk and mingle with others. These places, especially in Los Angeles, are infrequent and fragile. However, the steps taken place to date give confidence that San Bernardino can and will re-define its downtown to become a center of community as well as economic activity. 35 Ucs�S o j =N a 's B U �1
