The Redevelopment Plan for the North Richmond Area, adopted by the

intended to augment and supplement County financing of circulation
improvements through the Area of Benefit Program.

On October 20, 1992, by Resolution 92-706, the Board of Supervisors
directed the Public Works Department to remove the North Richmond
area from the West County Area of Benefit and establish a North
Richmond Area of Benefit (AOB) . The Public Works Department has
established a North Richmond trust account for mitigation fees
levied on North Richmond Area development. To formally adopt the
North Richmond AOB Program, the Public Works and Community
Development Departments have been working to establish a project
list.
The proposed North Richmond Area of Benefit has identified four (4)
projects for the North Richmond AOB (Attachment 1) . The proposed
projects are consistent with the Circulation Element of the General
Plan, and will promote the economic development of North Richmond.
The four projects and their benefits are briefly described below.
1. Parr Boulevard Widening and Overlay: The widening of Parr
Blvd. to permit creation of a middle turning lane will enhance
east/west access to the North Richmond Employment Area.
2 . Brookside Drive Widening: This project would interact with
the Redevelopment-constructed Brookside Drive realignment to
enhance access to the middle portions of the North Richmond
Employment Area.
3 . Third Street/Goodrich Avenue Realignment: This project would
enhance the north/south circulation within the North Richmond
Employment Area.
4 . _ Pittsburg Avenue Widening and Extension: This project would
provide additional access from the North Richmond Parkway to
the middle portions of the North Richmond Employment Area, and
permit access to landlocked development sites, one of which is
owned by the County Flood Control District.
To ensure that economic development in the North Richmond community
is not limited by an overly burdensome AOB fee, the Agency may
financially participate in the proposed infrastructure project.
The Agency's participation could lower the fee structure by as much
as 26%. The Public Works Department and the Redevelopment Agency
staffs will jointly implement the infrastructure projects to help
ensure coordinated and orderly development. Since AOB funds cannot
be used to finance streetscape improvements, the Agency is
committed to financing these on an as-needed basis.
The North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) reviewed the
proposed North Richmond Area of Benefit (AOB) project list on June
8, 1993 . The MAC approved the AOB project list and offered the
following comments:
1. The Pittsburg Avenue extension project be constructed
solely by AOB and Redevelopment Agency funds; and
2 . That future preference be granted to residential street
improvements as necessary and allowable by ABO Program
restrictions.
