SUBJECT: RURAL/URBAN DESIGN ASSISTANCE TEAM, BETHEL ISLAND AREA
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: In order to ensure that the R/UDAT
experience involves a high level of participation and addresses all
issues to planning and growth in the Bethel Island area, it is
recommended that the Community Development Department make available
to the R/UDAT team all county data requested no later than May 30 ,
1985; and that county staff, including engineers, geologists, planners
and other relevant personnel, assist the R/UDAT -prior to and during
the proposed four-day workshop, and consider the information in the
resultant report in future planning efforts.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Bethel Island Area is a unique
planning area and community. The East Contra Costa County General
Plan of 1978 calls for the preparation of a Specific Plan as an
additional implementation measure to guide the area' s future growth.
Community efforts and -a grant from the San Francisco Foundation
have made it possible to fund a visit to the community by a team of
planners called Rural/Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT) , which is
sponsored by a public service task force of the National American
Institute of Architects. The team will prepare a report which will
address and identify constraints and opportunities for future
development in the Bethel Island Area. The attached article about
this team' s efforts in Healdsburg provides additional information
about the R/UDAT and the service it provides for communities such as
Bethel Island.
The Board: has expressed strong support for the efforts of the
members of the Bethel Island Area community and the San Francisco
Foundation who have made it possible for the R/UDAT visit to Bethel
Island. The county staff has specialized expertise and experience
with respect to community services, engineering and planning for the
Bethel Island area community; and the county has possession of maps,
statistics, memoranda, fiscal and public service data, reports,
studies and other pertinent data that are necessary to the team and
the community to assist in their planning efforts. The cooperation of
the county is 'essential in the successful completion of this study by
the R/UDAT.
