The five members of the San Bruno City Council serve as the governing board of the Redevelopment Agency, which is a legally separate unit of local government. The Redevelopment Agency meets on an as-needed basis on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the regular meetings of the City Council. City Council/ Redevelopment Agency meetings start at 7 PM and are televised live on Cable Channel 3 from the San Bruno Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road.
The Redevelopment Agency oversees the implementation of the San Bruno Redevelopment Plan. The Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the Redevelopment Agency and City Council on July 6, 1999.
Redevelopment Plan
The Redevelopment Plan provides the Agency with the authority to carry out actives to accomplish the following goals within the approximately 717 acre Project Area (primarily in the eastern portion of San Bruno):
1) Improve physical and economic conditions throughout the Project Area.
2) Revitalize and stimulate private investment commercial areas.
3) Conserve and enhance residential neighborhoods.
4) Provide tax increment funds to finance redevelopment activities.
5) Increase, improve and preserve the supply of affordable housing.
The Redevelopment Plan is a long-range plan (project activities can take place over 30 years). The significant Redevelopment Plan time limits are:
Redevelopment Plan adoption: July 6, 1999
Time limit for project activities: July 6, 2029
Time limit for issuance of debt: July 6, 2019
Time limit of receipt of tax increment: July 6, 2039
The Redevelopment Plan can be viewed at the Community Development Department and the San Bruno Public Library.
Redevelopment Project Area: San Bruno has one Redevelopment Project Area, which is located primarily on the east side of El Camino Real in the City of San Bruno and covers 717 acres. The Project Area is made up of commercial areas (Downtown San Bruno, Tanforan Shopping Center, and El Camino Real); residential neighborhoods (Fifth Addition, Belle Air Park, San Bruno Park, and Lomita Park); the former U.S. Navy facility; and an 18-acre non-contiguous area at the intersection of Glenview Dr. and San Bruno Ave. (includes Skycrest Shopping Center).
Redevelopment Agency Staff: The City Manager serves as the Agency Executive Director, and the Redevelopment Division administers the day-to-day activities of the Redevelopment Agency. The Project Area Committee (PAC), comprised of residents, property owners and business owners in the Project Area, advises the Agency on policy matters affecting residents in the Project Area.
