None. No general funds are involved. The Agency has budgeted funds for this initiative.
BACKGROUND
In order to address a lack of consensus on land use issues in the Downtown El Sobrante/Appian Corridor area the
County agreed to undertake a design charrette. The charrette was successfully concluded on March 22,2004.
The results, which reflected the strong consensus of the participants, will be integrated into a General Plan
Amendment which the County Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors will consider later this
summer/fall.
To fully achieve a consensus the charrette consultant, LCA Town Planning and Design,was asked to perform
additional work beyond the original scope. This additional work included the preparation of conceptual plans for
three demonstration sites,the conduct of over forty(40)stakeholder interviews,and the preparation of additional
handouts and visual displays.

April 6, 2044
RE: Downtown El Sobrante/Appian Corridor Planning Charrette
Supervisor Gioia requested a modification in the first paragraph of the background portion of the
board order. He asked that the third sentence be changed to read:
"The results, which reflected the strong consensus of the participants,will be considered for
integration into a General Plan Amendment, which the County Planning Commission and the
Board of Supervisors will consider later this summer/fall."
The Board then took the following action:
• APPROVED and AUTHORIZED the Redevelopment Director to execute a contract
amendment with LCA Town Planning and Design, effective February 1, 2004, to
increase the payment limit by$45,547 to a new payment limit of$197,047 to provide
additional work related to the Downtown El Sobrante/Appian Corridor'Planning
Charrette, with no change in the term through June 30, 2004.
