Proposal:
Consideration of a Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement with Texaco for the use of alternative
parking at the rear of the Mission Texaco site and at the two dirt lots located on El Camino Real (the
Love and Mitchell lots) to accommodate approximately 50 temporary parking spaces during the
construction of the Multi -Modal Parking Deck. The station would continue their station operation. The
Second Amendment would extend the existing lease for a minimum of two years, and all landscaping
costs would be borne by the City. The hearing was continued from the meeting of September 7, 1993,
so that staff could respond to issues regarding market rent and modifications to the landscaping plan.
Written Commulliotion:
Report dated September 21, 1993, from Douglas Dumhart, Management Assistant, summarizing the
terms of the lease, proposed improvements, market rates, parking assignment and environmental issues.
The Report recommended that the 17 tenant -only parking spaces located behind the El Peon complex
be relocated to the 19 spaces behind the Texaco station so that public parking would be more visible
and accessible to visitors. The Report noted that a mid -year budget adjustment in the amount of $3,000
would be required to cover the City's costs for landscaping.
Exhibits were on display, and Douglas Dumhart, Management Assistant, made an oral presentation.

Council's Ougstions to Staff:
Director Campbell inquired how many Amtrak commuters used the Love and Mitchell lots.
Mr. Dumhart advised that staff did not survey the users of the lots and that the lots have not been used
to their full extent. He noted that since the lots are for all -day parking, commuters have been
encouraged to park there. Director Vasquez inquired whether $3,000 was sufficient for the proposed
landscaping of the parking lots. Mr. Dumhart explained that landscaping would be minimal because of
the temporary use. Mr. Sievers noted that the intent of the landscaping was to provide some visual
interest along the frontage road of both lots, including drip irrigation.
Public Hearing -
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing, and the following
persons responded:
(1) Kenneth Friess, 31506 Paseo Christina, spoke on behalf of the applicants. He noted that the
proposed plans were not intended as a full-time parking arrangement. He advised that as part
of the plans, the applicant intended to improve the two restrooms at the gas station to meet
federal Americans with Disability Act standards, and that the restrooms would be available for
public use.
There being no further input, the hearing was declared closed with the right to reopen at any time.
Council Discussion:
Chairman Nash inquired whether staff could provide parking assignments for the lots. Mr. Dumhart
explained that the proposed Second Amendment did not assign parking. Director Campbell expressed
concern that trees were not included as part of the landscaping plan. She noted other "temporary -use"
areas in the City that have become long-term uses and now appear barren because trees were never
planted. Director Jones concurred.
Approval of 5rcond Amendment to Lease Agreem pl:
It was moved by Chairman Nash, seconded by Director Hausdorfer, and unanimously carried that the
Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement with the Community Redevelopment Agency and Texaco
Refining and Marketing, Inc. be approved for the use of public parking at the Mission Texaco site and
temporary parking improvements at the Love and Mitchell Iots, subject to the condition that trees be
added to the landscape plan. City expenditures not to exceed $3,000 were authorized. Staff was directed
to assure that trees are included in the landscaping plan and to advise the Board regarding the type of
parking recommended for the new lots.
