The Redevelopment Agency acquired the former Davis Lumber, Chattleton Lane Homes, Salvation Army, and the Circle S and Alvarado mobile home parks to be developed into a mixed use project. Through community input the mixed use concept will include housing, retail, entertainment and open space. The Project area encompases approximately 18 acres.

The County is proposing to build the new West County Health Center (“WCHC”) in San Pablo on a portion of the former Circle S Mobilehome Park located at 13613 San Pablo Avenue. The WCHC will replace the Richmond Health Center (“RHC”) which has served West Contra Costa County residents since 1967.  The patient services demands at the RHC have exceeded its capacity.  The new WCHC will be one of eight health centers run by the County Health Services Department (“HSD”).  The new 50,000 (approximately) square foot WCHC will provide for a modern and efficient facility in which to deliver outpatient care. 

The WCHC will be a family practice and specialty care outpatient clinic, serving a primarily low-income, ethnically diverse patient population.  It is anticipated that the WCHC will include a minimum of 50 exam rooms, 3 treatment rooms, 4 group treatment rooms (20 patients each, with adjacent small exam rooms), and a 50-seat conference room.  Special-purpose rooms will include dental operatories, audiology, ophthalmology, gastrointestinal, and orthopedics.  Specialty services will include allergy, cardiology, dermatology, ear/nose/throat, gynecology, immunodeficiency, internal medicine, neurology, oncology/hematology, pediatrics, pulmonary, podiatry, rheumatology, and urology.  Ancillary services will include radiology, ultrasound, laboratory, and physical and occupational therapy.  Support functions will include Centralized Registration, Medical Records, Business Office, Volunteers, Materials Management, and Environmental Services.  The project will also include a parking structure.

The 23rd Street Specific Plan and the Environmental Documentation (Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration) were adopted by the City Council in October of 2007.

The Specific Plan calls for a pedestrian friendly shopping environment along 23rd Street, with businesses fronting on the sidewalk, transparent storefronts and pedestrian scaled streetscape elements. The goals also call for non-commercial uses above the ground floor of building, including residential units. The objective for such tailored planning are to: reinforce the unique desirable characteristics of these areas and ensure long-term compatibility with their surroundings; provide development standards to help revitalize this commerical corridor; encouragae flexibility in land use planning, and prioritize reinvestment in public infrastructure.

A Master Plan has recently been developed for the existing Davis Park site. Due in part to the complexity of the site and the adjoining land uses, the scope of work has been broken down into six different tasks. Callander & Associates was selected as the main consultant and their tasks include reviewing background data, site reconnaissance and the scope of work. Task two will have Impact Sciences conduct the technical studies. These will include the Biological Assessment, Traffic Impact Assessment, Noise Impact Study, Air Quality Impact Assessment, Archaeological Survey Report and the Hydrology and Water Quality Study. Task three will have Impact Sciences prepare an Administrative Draft for the Environmental Assessment/Initial Study. This will lead to task four which will be the preparation of the Environmental Assessment/Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. Task five be the preparation of responses to comments for the final Environmental Assessment/Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, including Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The complete Master Plan is available by clicking here. A conceptual rendering of the improvements proposed for Davis Park is shown below.

The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Pablo has acquired approximately 9 acres of unbuildable institutional space to be developed into open space.

Large parcels of open space are scarce in San Pablo.  Two fault lines run through the center of this parcel adjacent to Contra Costa College discouraging construction on this site.  This acquisition will provide a more accessigble recreation site where parking is plentiful.  Youth soccer in the City is very popular and this new park will allow the sport to continue to thrive.

Construction for this project is undetermined at this time.

23rd Street has been the focus of the revitalization for decades with significant changes completed recently.  A refined approach in the mid 90's resulted in the first phase of facade improvements.  To date, over $4 million has been invested in the Old Town area that includes street improvements and facade improvements.

The agency Desires a multi-story, mixed-use green-building. This property is approximately .5 acres of vacant land frontage

This parcel serves as a gateway to the Old Town/23rd Street Corridor and has been vacant for 25 years.  The envisioned project will house approximately 31 condo units above approximately 6,000 SF of commercial with parking in the back.  The architecture of this corner lot wil require that it serve as a major focal point on the street.

A proposal has been approved by the Planning Commission for a 14,820 square foot Walgreens pharmacy at College Center, which will include a full service pharmacy and drive-thru. Walgreens carries an array of retail consumer goods, gifts, pre-packaged goods and sundries.

The project was approved in November of 2009.

The western side of the Avenue in currently lined with marginal businesses, a large vacant lot, small parcels and very old, one-story structures.

The proposed project will encourage land assembly and new construction of mixed-use businesses.The western side of the Avenue will compliment the improvements initiated by Signature Properties.  Elimination of underutilized commercial spaces to encourage land assembly for construction of mixed use structures.  Moderate income, for-sale housing is encouraged. The Agency role along this stretch of the City is to facilitate discussions with the current property owners.

Development is undetermined at this time.
