STAFF SOURCE: Don Burt, Planning Manager BACKGROUND: With the approval of the Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan the Commission, beginning in FY12/13, can commence implementation of the Plan. It is proposed that for the Commission’s initial projects the following projects/activities be considered: 1. Streetscape Improvements, Construction (Project No. 4) – Within the Urban Renewal Area there are two pending projects with frontage along Hwy. 99. It is proposed the Commission assume the cost of the pedestrian lights. Estimated Cost: $50,000. 2. Parking Lot Improvements, Construction (Project No. 6) – The City has received a grant for the construction of the parking lot on Third and Oak. The cost of constructing the parking lot exceeds the grant amount. It is proposed that The Commission assume the expense for the parking lot lights (2). Estimated Cost: $25,000. 3. Gebhard Road Extension, Concept Plan Development (Project No. 8) – The old Wal-Mart site represents a significant commercial development opportunity. As part of the development of the Wal-Mart site it will be necessary to extend Gebhard Road. It is proposed that the Commission begin planning for the extension. This would include location, general design requirements, signalization, cost estimates, etc. This information would then be used in a proactive way to facilitate development of the general area. The alternative is to wait until a development is proposed for the site, and then react to their plans, including possible participation in the construction of the Gebhard Road extension. Responsibility for development of the Gebard Road extension is not an outcome of the Concept Plan Development, but it will give the Commission valuable insights into the development of the general area. Estimated Cost: $50,000. 4. Streetscape Improvements along S. Second St., Concept Plan Development (Project No. 1) – Similar to the Gebhard Road extension project it is recommended that similar efforts be applied to Second Street south of East Pine Street. Redevelopment of the old hospital property is considering Second Street as their primary access. It is to the advantage of the Commission to begin conceptual design of the Second Street streetscape, not only to understand limitations and potential costs, but also to show the Commission’s initiative in advancing development of the hospital (Asante) site. Estimated Cost: $25,000. Before any of the projects proceed any further than the budget process they will be presented in detail to the Commission approval. Each project will be further defined and approved by the Commission before DCP042612 pg 5 Page 2 of 2 any expenditures are actually made. Inclusion in the budget does not assure that the projects will be undertaken during the fiscal year. Funds for the proposed projects will come from tax increment revenue, estimated at $50,000 and a $125,000 loan from the City. As with the projects the proposed City loan will have to be authorized by the Council and the Commission. ISSUES: None. EXHIBITS/ATTACHMENTS: None. ACTION: Discussion RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to include the above projects in the proposed budget. DCP042612 pg 6
