Redevelopment Agency January 21. 2803 Page Development Strategy - Core Block - Mrs. Gilbreath introduced Ralph Megna, Economic Development Director, who reviewed a report regarding the core block (bounded by the 1-10, Orange Street, Redlands Boulevard, and Eureka Street) in downtown Redlands. The report presented background information, identified the current challenge, proposed a development strategy, identified the team and costs associated with carrying out such a strategy and made a recommendation for action. The draft report was submitted to the Business and Economic Development Advisory Commission at the meeting held on January 8, 2003. The Commission considered the proposal presented and recommended the City Council and Redevelopment Agency prepare a development strategy for the core block in the downtown utilizing Redevelopment Agency Funds. Mr. Megna urged the City avoid the "oops" factor by taking control and stating what the City envisions for development in the core block as he felt the real estate was too valuable to be consumed by large surfacing parking lots. A comprehensive study of the area should include identifying geotechnical and cultural constraints as well as available adequate utility services. Mrs. Gilbreath urged approval of this concept noting the money is available in the Redevelopment Agency funds. Mrs. Peppler questioned the need for another study, and stated she was not in favor of using Redevelopment Agency funds for this purpose. Mr. George noted the money is also available through the Park Once grant. Mrs. Gilbreath moved to authorize the preparation of a development strategy for the core block in downtown adding that this study/plan shall be initiated and be a component of the amended Downtown Specific Plan, and directed staff to return in four weeks with more definitive information. Motion seconded by Mr. George and carried unanimously. (Also see City Council minutes for January 21, 2003.)
