Consideration of a proposal to sell the property located at 31766 and 31768 Camino

businesses, to allow for the development of public parking and pedestrian access
improvements as part of the Historic Town Center development plan, Alternative #2.

Administrator, recommending that the sale of the subject properties to San Juan Partners be
approved based on the terms set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Agreement
requires that the property be maintained in perpetuity as a public parking lot and access way
and provides that the Agency and San Juan Partners share equally in the costs to relocate the
Moonrose tenant, demolish the former Moonrose building, and construct the Phase 1 and 2
parking lot improvements. In addition, San Juan Partners would participate in the settlement

of certain claims filed against the Agency/City by former tenants of the old El Peon Complex
and release all claims filed against the Agency/City associated with the sale and remodeling
of the El Peon Complex. The Agreement retains the Agency's option to purchase back the
property at Fair Market Value for a period of three years if the site is needed for the Historic
Town Center project. Pursuant to Redevelopment Law, a Reuse Analysis and Summary
Report was prepared, which determined the Fair Reuse Value for the site to be $111,000.
The developer's costs associated with the Agreement were consistent with the Fair Reuse
Value.
Cassandra Walker, Community Development Administrator, made an oral presentation.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Nash opened the Public Hearing, and
there being no response, closed the hearing with the right to reopen at any time.
Board Discussion:
Director Campbell felt that it was very important to maintain the property in perpetuity as a
parking lot and pedestrian access in accordance with the Historic Town Center Master Plan.
She emphasized that in order to address the needs of the downtown businesses, the parking
lot should not be designated for long-term parking.
Director Jones stated that he supported the staff recommendation, but noted that the
proposed Agreement would probably preclude the City from constructing the Ortega
Highway realignment.
