Subject:Northeast Antioch Economic Development Strategy
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to reposition an unincorporated area designated under the County General Plan as Heavy
Industrial (HI) with direct waterfront and rail access for future development, but with
significant vacant or underutilized parcels. The area also includes small pockets of
residential use lacking in essential infrastructure including streets, drainage, and sanitary
sewer.
Repositioning the area will require resolving and balancing a host of issues including:
• land use issues;
• infrastructure and municipal availability and financing issues;
• health and safety issues;
• fiscal impacts including revenue sharing; and
• annexation issues.
County and City staff have developed a Work Program for the Preparation of a Joint
City/County Economic Development Strategy for the Northeast Antioch Area updated as
of January 5, 2011 (the “Work Program” is included as Attachment B). This Work
Program does not represent agreement; rather it is a framework for identifying,
discussing, and possibly resolving differences of interest and approach. The Work
Program is not intended to be exhaustive, but a starting point.
It is difficult to predict the time period that will be required. The Work Program is
ambitious, and the issues complex. The Work Program identifies a best case timeline of
18-24 months. Intermittent reports to the Board of Supervisors would be provided.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The proposed joint planning process would not go forward. Opportunities for future
economic development could be foregone.
