Kunz, Economic Development Director -��� SUBJECT; Redevelopment Update What does a one-and-a-half mile long revitalized waterway, a tree lined bo and 350 units of new housing have in common? None would have ha� without redevelopment. Empty lots do not become much-needed grocery stores, contaminated f< do not become attractive residential neighborhoods, and blighted ii properties do not become the county's most popular choice for first-run m by themselves. Each of these projecfis, along with countless other transformed older parts of Bakersfield because of one simple idea; redevel works. Despite the recent articles in the Los Angeles Times, plus actions government, redevelopment is a critical tool to revitalize older parts including Bakersfield. Mill Creek Linear Park is the most visible of these local successes. Mill Cr been a catalyst for afitracting commercial, residential, and mixed use along its 1.5 mile path. More than 350 new housing units, including about 9( senior housing, are also positioned adjacent to Mill Creek with compact I designs that create an attractive urban setting for their residents. While Mill Creek is the larg�st redevelopment effort in Bakersfield's history, projects have just as much impact in their smaller neighborhoods, For e; various streets in Southeast Bakersfield now have curb and gutter impro� new housing, and new residents, to these reenergized neighborhoods. Th residents also mean new customers to nearby businesses. Redevelopment reenergizes blighted neighborhoods, jump starts the process, brings new life to neighborhoods, and much needed tax revenue; government through increased property values. One does not need to look far in any direction in Bakersfield to find projE exist only because of the benefits of redevelopment. The list below includ� of them: PAST PROJECTS • Rabobank Arena and Convention Center, 1001 Truxtun Avenue • Marriott Convention Center Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn Select), 801 Truxt Avenue • FoodMaxx grocery store, 11 i 5 Union Avenue � Bank of America Tower, 1400 Truxtun Avenue •Chase Bank building (former California Republic Bank), 1675 Chester Av • Old Church Plaza, 1200 Truxtun Avenue • Kress Building, 1401 - 19th Street •Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce building, 1725 Eye Street �Canyon Hills Senior Apartments, 6701 Auburn Street (74 units) • California Avenue Senior Apartments, 1 Ol 5"�" Street (179 units) • Lowell Place Senior Apartments, 500 "R" Street (80 units) �Chester Avenue Streetscape Improvements, 24th Street to Garces Circle RECENT PROJECTS • Mill Creek • Maya Cinemas, 1000 California Avenue • Landscaping around Bakersfield Municipal Airport, 2000 South Union AvE • Fire Station No. 5, 700 Planz Road. � Parkview Coitages, 21 St and "R" streets (74 units) •Santa Fe Apartments, 701 Union Avenue (56 units) FUTURE PROJECTS • U.S. Courthouse •Clinica Sierra Vista dental clinic, 1125 East California Avenue • 19th Street M ixed Use Project, 525 19th Street • 19th Street Senior Apartments, 519 19th Street (67 units) /1 /'11L. /1 t . _ _ 1 P1 _ _ _ A 1 � /1 /� 1 I /1 1 � i r /1 � � � Think of redevelopment as a chain reaction. When the Redevefopment improves a deteriorated area, property values rise, Those increased valu increases in property tax revenue to the Agency. The increased AgE revenues mean more funds can be used to make more improvement improvements, in turn, attract private investment. The end result: the economic output and benefits to the community are larger than the origin investment. All of these benefits happen only because of a simple truth: redevelopme S: \ Redev response 10-b.docx Solar Project at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 iJpdate General Information Memo — Friday, October 15, 2010 � `�� �� � . . � � - .... .�»,�,,,� _ .. _ _ ... .. .. ._ w.� �. . . _ . : . . . . . , � , ,, . . . . .,> ._, . , . ,; . �. . .�. , , ..:. .a _. . .. „ - .
