FROM: John Sweeten, Executive Director
DATE: November 1, 2005
SUBJECT: LAS DELTAS REUSE PLANNING STUDY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Redevelopment Director to enter into a Project
Agreement and Work Program with the Contra Costa County Housing Authority in the
amount of $20,000 for a term beginning November 1, 2005, and ending October 31,
2006 for a Las Deltas Reuse Alternative Planning Study.
FISCAL IMPACT
No general fund money will be used on this project. The Redevelopment Agency has
budgeted $20,000 for this project.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Redevelopment Agency has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), dated
September 2, 2004 with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Richmond Housing
Authority, Richmond Redevelopment Agency, Community Housing Development Corporation
of North Richmond, and Contra Costa County Housing Authority to promote affordable housing
in the North Richmond area. A component of the MOU is an evaluation of alternative
approaches for the reuse, revitalization, and/or redevelopment of the 224-unit Las Deltas
public housing site.
The Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority will jointly seek qualifications and
proposals from financial and real estate development consultants to perform and deliver a
written report for changing the character and use of all or part of the site. A public planning
process will be conducted with the community to discuss alternative uses, scattered site
development, relocation of current occupants and opportunities for business and job
development.
The desired outcome of this joint planning process will be a community sup p rted plan for
revitalizing the site and the North Richmond area.
