Redevelopment

REDEVELOPMENT NEW DEVELOPMENT Sample scenario: Downtown San Bernardino Sample scenario: North Fontana Flood plain Existing structures Old or run-down structures must be torn down before new homes or businesses can be built; asbestos, lead paint or other hazardous materials must be removed. Most of Fontana is on an alluvial fan to flooding from fast-moving mountain water. It's hard to build and impossible to insure buildings in a flood plain. - an area prone No infrastructure Top soil Oil, chemicals and other contaminants must be cleaned up. Without storm drains and flood-control channels, water would sheet across much of North Fontana. Existing infrastructure In the case of one downtown site, the city discovered a derelict oil tank buried underneath a build- ing. Such items must be removed before new con- struction can take place. Soil Soil possibly polluted by old infrastructure. Water from the mountains carries with it sand and rocks that make up the soil of North Fontana to erosion. soil prone Gina Dvorak, staff artist; James Koren, staff writer REDEVELOPMENT NEW DEVELOPMENT Sample scenario: Downtown San Bernardino Sample scenario: North Fontana Flood plain Existing structures Old or run-down structures must be torn down before new homes or businesses can be built; asbestos, lead paint or other hazardous materials must be removed.
