SUBJECT: Coordinated Growth Plan for El Sobrante
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Develop with the Cities of Pinole, Richmond and San Pablo, a joint
plan for the El Sobrante Valley. The plan could, among other issues,
deal with land use, transportation, landslide policy, hillside
development, public facilities and other infrastructure needs.
Authorize the Contra Costa County Community Development Department
to approach each of the cities concerned about setting up a meeting to
develop such a plan for presentation to the elected bodies of each
jurisdiction.
Consider expanding the duties of the E1 Sobrante Traffic Advisory
Committee to include a review of these additional issues.
Direct the committee which reviews this plan to share its
information with the Contra Costa County General Plan Congress.
BACKGROUND:
The Cities of Pinole, Richmond and San Pablo along with Contra
Costa County have a vital interest in the land use, transportation, and
infrastructure levels in E1 Sobrante. Because E1 Sobrante has limited
access and several decision making jurisdictions, its is critical that
cooperation and coordination in growth and growth related decisions
takes place. As the area is not covered by one jurisdiction and the
people there have not expressed an interest to see such an arrangement
develop, it is essential that the existing governing entities work
together.
Many years ago, then councilman Bob Campbell of .Richmond suggested
that the city adopt a general plan for the incorporated section of E1
Sobrante that was identical to that passed by the county for the
unincorporated area. His suggestion indicates that interest in
coordinated planning has existed in El Sobrante for some time. The idea
had merit then and continues to present alternatives which should be
explored. Adoption of the recommendations contained herein would be a
major step forward in this process.
