RECOMMENDATION :
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an Exclusive Negotiation
Agreement ("ENA") with Ganahl Lumber Company for development of the Lower Rosan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Following the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the State directed that properties
owned by the City's former Redevelopment Agency be sold and the proceeds be
distributed to the taxing entities, including the State, the County of Orange, school
districts and special districts in which the properties were located. One of these
properties in San Juan Capistrano is Lower Rosan Ranch, an unimproved parcel
generally located on the north side of Stonehill Drive, west of Camino Capistrano . An
aerial photo of the site is provided as Attachment 1 .
On June 21, 2016, the City Council selected CBRE as the broker to market two former
Redevelopment Agency parcels: Lower Rosan Ranch and the Downtown/Playhouse
Property. After an extensive marketing program, the City received thirteen proposals for
the Lower Rosan Ranch property. After careful review of the proposals and the
qualifications of the potential buyers, the City Council identified five proposers to
participate in a community workshop to present their development plan . Following the
workshop and review of the information provided by the five proposers, the City Council

voted unanimously to enter into exclusive negotiations with Ganahl Lumber Company
for the potential sale of the property. The proposed Exclusive Negotiation Agreement
("ENA") would establish a period during which the parties can assess the viability of any
proposed project and negotiate the terms of a development agreement (Attachment 2).
Approval of the ENA does not bind the City in any way to a specific project or future sale
of the property to Ganahl.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS :
The ENA provides that the City and the Developer negotiate diligently and in good faith
toward the goal of producing a mutually acceptable development agreement. The
proposed ENA includes a Schedule of Performance and incorporates the following other
major provisions:
1 . Development Concept: A Ganahl Lumber store, restaurant and vehicle storage
area.
2. Term: The term of the ENA is 24 months, with two, 90-day extensions available.
3. Parameters for Negotiations. The following nonexclusive list of items related to
the Project shall be the subject of negotiations:
o Programmatic concept for the Project;
o Site plan for the Project (depicting building locations, elevations, building
square footages, parking, access points, landscaped areas, and
pedestrian and vehicular circulation);
o Marketing/branding plan for the Project, including general tenant
categories;
o Financing plan for the Project (addressing the proposed methods of
construction and permanent financing, and amounts and sources of equity
and debt capital);
o Scope of development for the Project;
o Development schedule for the Project; and,
o The amount the Developer will pay for the acquisition of the Site (including
an appraisal of the Site), and terms and conditions of the conveyance of
the Site to Developer.
4. Developer's Submission of Documents for City Review and Comment.
Within 120 days following the Effective Date of the Agreement, the ENA requires
that the Developer submit the following information to the City:

o Marketing/branding plan including general tenant categories;
o Project budget;
o Financing plan;
o Scope of development; and,
o Development schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the ENA would have minimal fiscal impact to the City. All expenses during
the term of this ENA for consultants and other professional planning/engineering
services will be the sole responsibility of Ganahl. Ganahl is also responsible for paying
all staff and City Attorney costs, as well as any costs associated with CEQA
documentation .
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW :
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended
action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA
applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not
subject to CEQA. At the time the development project moves forward for discretionary
actions, the appropriate documentation will be provided consistent with CEQA
guidelines.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW :
On March 29, 2017, the City Council conducted a Community Workshop to review
development proposals for the Lower Rosan Ranch site.
On April 4, 2017, the City Council voted unanimously to enter into exclusive
negotiations with Ganahl Lumber Company for the potential sale of the Lower Rosan
