@ CoU*
SUBJECT: Application for $60 ,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds
for the preparation of a Revitalization Study for the North
Richmond and West Pittsburg Redevelopment Project Areas.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize Redevelopment Agency staff to submit an application for a
$60,000 Community Development Block Grant for preparation of a
Revitalization Study for the North Richmond and West Pittsburg
Redevelopment Project Areas.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The West Pittsburg and North Richmond Redevelopment Project Areas
contain physical constraints that inhibit logical and timely
development, both economic and residential. . Additionally, both
areas are not expected to generate sufficient tax increment
revenues in the near future which would allow these constraints to
be identified and overcome.
In order to facilitate the redevelopment of both areas, staff is
proposing to submit an application for a $60,000 Community
Development Block Grant which would be used to finance a
Revitalization Study for both areas.
The proposed study would identify the physical impediments to
development, as well as concentrate on specific land use goals in
the project areas. Additionally, development guidelines will be
sought so as to provide a framework for future projects.
If the application is favorably received, staff will put out an RFP
for a consultant to prepare the Study. This would be undertaken in
May 1989 upon receipt of funds. Staff is requesting authorization
to submit the application.
