County
SUBJECT: Fire at Park Regency Apartments
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
BACKGROUND:
A natural gas explosion at the Park Regency Apartments at 3156 Oak Road in Walnut Creek has
left a number of residents homeless and several units condemned as unlivable. While the Red
Cross has provided temporary shelter for those displaced, their permanent relocation must be
resolved. Also questions have been raised by the conditions leading to the explosion that must
be investigated
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct the County Administrator to work with the Departments of Health Services,
Redevelopment, Office of Emergency Services and Code Enforcement to ensure that we offer
whatever resources may be needed by those displaced by this terrible event including their
relocation. Further, direct that they conduct an investigation of building conditions leading to the
explosion and the relationship of this building to Contra Costa County Redevelopment and report
to the Board at its next meeting.
Request the apartment owner to cooperate fully in this matter.
