FISCAL IMPACT:

No General Fund money is involved in this acquisition. The Agency’s financial obligation to acquire this site is from budgeted funds under the North Richmond Redevelopment Project Area for FY 2009-2010

BACKGROUND:

On May 12, 2009, the Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency adopted Resolution No. 2009/115 to create a Program of Unified Development for the East Side of 3rd Street between Chesley Avenue and Grove Street. This proposed residential Mixed-Use Project is referred to as Grove Point.

This Project is to acquire and redevelop six contiguous parcels fronting Third Street into a mix of commercial and residential amenities. Purchasing 1546 Third Street is the third acquisition under Grove Point’s Unified Development Program.

This acquisition and the development of a Unified Development Program has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

The North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council has reviewed this Project and is supportive of the Agency acquiring Grove Point parcels for redevelopment.
