WITH LOAN AUTHORlZATlON FROM CITY TO AGENCY;
MTG.lo/rfi/9r AUTHORlZATlON TO DISTRIBUTE AN RFP FOR CONSULTANT
SERVICES TO STUDY THE FEASIBIUTY OF ESTABLISHING
DEPT. RED. PROJECT AREA II
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1) Adopt Resolution No. ewescinding Resolution NOW-385 and designating a
revised Redevelopment Survey Area and authorizing a loan from the City to the
Agency; and
2) Authorize staff to distribute requests for proposals to retain consultant services
to assist staff in studying the feasibility of establishing a second redevelopment
project area in Carlsbad and appropriate the $30,000 to fund the feasibility study
project.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On October 16, 1990, the City Council took the first step in establishing a second
redevelopment project area by designating a survey area.
The designated survey area extends from the northern City boundary to the southern
city boundary, from the l-5 freeway to a point 2,000 feet west of the mean high tide line
(with the exception of Tierra del Oro, Shore Drive) and includinq property surrounding
Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Holiday Park, the Girl’s Club on Eureka Place and excludinq
the existing Village Redevelopment Project Area. A map (Exhibit 1) is attached showing
the survey area established on October 16, 1990.
Since that time, it has been suggested that the area of city property known as Macario
Canyon/Veteran’s Park be added to the survey area for purposes of studying its
feasibility. This site has been reserved for a city park but is generally lacking in public
improvements such as streets, water, sewer, drainage, lighting and emergency access.
This park land is owned entirely by the City and is dependent upon government action
for improvement. It may be unreasonable to expect private enterprise to act alone to
alleviate current conditions that inhibit its use as a park facility. Therefore, staff supports
its inclusion in the survey area, as shown on the attached map (Exhibit 2). If the Council
desires to revise the survey area, the appropriate resolution is attached for adoption. If
the Council does not wish to revise the survey area, then the resolution should not be
adopted.
The purposes for establishing a redevelopment project include eliminating and alleviating
blight found to exist within the project area, increasing the supply of affordable housing
and improving the physical, social and economic well-being of residents in the project
area through redevelopment efforts. Redevelopment law authorizes the use of tax
increment revenues to be used in areas that are predominantly urbanized and blighted.
AGENDA BILL NO. //c399 /
To determine whether or not it is feasible to establish a redevelopment project area, the
City must carefully study the designated survey area. Following the determination that
a new project area is feasible, the official project area boundaries are designated and
a Preliminary Plan is prepared for review by the Redevelopment Agency. Upon
acceptance of the Preliminary Plan and designation of the project area boundaries by
the Redevelopment Agency, the City may then proceed with preparation of the
Redevelopment Plan and other appropriate documents to legally establish a second
project area in Carlsbad.
Staff has prepared the attached Request for Proposals to retain a consultant to study
the designated survey area and to prepare a report on the feasibility of establishing a
second redevelopment project area in Carlsbad.
Consultant proposals will be evaluated by Redevelopment staff. The most qualified
candidates will be invited to an oral interview before a Selection Committee, made up
of a cross-section of City staff and Public Officials. The Selection Committee will make
a recommendation and staff will request authorization from the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission to award the contract for consultant services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council previously authorized $30,000 in the FY 1990-91 proposed
Redevelopment Project Area II budget (812-840-341 O-2479) to cover consultant services
costs for preparation of the Feasibility Study.
The previously approved $30,000 allocation will need to be reappropriated into the FY
1991-92 proposed Redevelopment Project Area II budget to fund the Feasibility Study.
Additional funding may be needed in the future for preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report.
