J ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT HEARING - RESOLUTION OF PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY: 495 NORTH "G" STREET, SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA (APN: 0134-101-28) BACKGROUND: On November 7, 2005, the Community Development Commission ("Commission") approved the Central City North Downtown Mixed Use Project Concept Plan ("Plan") and the Redevelopment Project Study and Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement ("Agreement") with Watson & Associates Development Co., Inc. ("Developer"). Through the Plan, the Agency will acquire certain properties in an effort to encourage and effectuate the redevelopment of certain real property ("Study Area") bounded by, 5th Street to the north, "0" Street on the east, "H" Street on the west, and 4th Street on the south, including the north side of 5th Street between "H" and "0" Streets, the four (4) parcels at the northeast comer of 5th Street and "0" Street, and the six (6) parcels at the southeast comer of 5th and "0" Street, excluding the new TELACU II Monte Vista Senior Housing Complex (Exhibit "A"). The intent of the Plan is to eliminate blighted conditions, encourage economic development by creating owner-occupied mixed use and mixed income housing (i.e., commercial on the ground floor, residential on the upper floors) for those properties with frontage on 4th Street and 5th Street, with townhouses located immediately south of the mixed use development on the south side of 5th Street and on the west side of "0" Street. The Plan will also include complimentary parking and amenities, which will include high quality architectural and urban design. Moreover, the objective of the Plan is to act as a catalyst in the revitalizing of the downtown area and to encourage people to live and work in downtown. Within the Study Area, the Commission has previously authorized Agency staff to make offers to purchase certain properties within the Study Area, and to date the Agency has acquired 6 parcels (from 3 different property owners) and 24 parcels remain to be acquired. On May 27, 2005, the Agency sent a purchase offer ("Offer") to Allied Capital Investments, LLC ("Property Owner") to purchase the property located at 495 North "0" Street, San Bernardino, California (APN: 0134-101-28) ("Property"). The Agency obtained an updated appraisal of the Property and transmitted another Offer and Summary of Valuation in conformity with Oovemment Code 9 7267.2(b) to the owner of record on April 25, 2006 at his address on file with the office of the County Tax Assessor as shown on the last equalized county assessment roll, and the owner of record, Allied Capital Investments, LLC, received the updated Agency Offer. In each Offer, the Property Owner was requested to convey free and clear title and additionally, free and clear of all leasehold interests in the Property by tenants and any other parties occupying the Property. Although the Agency has been in contact with the Property Owner, the Property Owner has not accepted an Agency Offer. The Property Owner has in fact delivered a letter to the Agency dated May IS, 2006, rejecting the prior offers of the Agency and requesting a purchase price to be paid by the Agency for the Property equal to $2,000,000 plus other statutory amounts as may be due and payable to the tenants located on the Property. Said letter is attached to this Staff Report for your information and review (Attachment I).

The first tenant, .98~ and Up, is a market that sells several sundry items including beer and wine. The second tenant, Laundry Mat, is a coin- operated laundry facility that has approximately sixty (60) washers of various capacities and approximately forty (40) industrial capacity dryers. There is also on-site management. On June 5. 2006. the Commission adopted a Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity concerning the acquisition of the Property. The vote was 4 Ayes. I Nay with 2 Commission Members absent. CURRENT ISSUES: Though a majority of the Commission Members present at the June 5, 2006 Commission meeting voted to adopt the Resolution, the Code of Civil Procedures Section 1245.240 provides that "Unless a greater vote is required by statue, charter, or ordinance, the Resolution shall be adopted by a vote of two thirds of all the members of the governing body of the public entity". Therefore, this item is being brought back for the Commission to reconsider adoption of a Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity to acquire the Property. Consequently. in conformance with the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, on June 21, 2006, a notice of the July 10,2006 hearing on adopting a Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity was sent by certified mail to the Property Owner whose name and address appears on the last equalized county assessment roll, in order to afford such Property Owner a reasonable opportunity to be heard by the Commission. Notice of the Hearing was also posted on the Property and mailed to all known tenants. The Hearing by the Commission and the adoption of the Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity are legal preconditions to the exercise of the Commission's power of eminent domain. Moreover, Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.230 requires that the Commission make the following findings and that each be included in the Resolution of Necessity: 1. The public interest and necessity requires the acquisition of the Property: The Agency has an agreement for an approved Plan that includes this Property. During the past year, the Agency has acquired six (6) parcels of land within the vicinity of the Property. The Agency finds it appropriate to continue the program of land assembly and to acquire this additional Property to provide sufficient contiguous land for the Plan and the contemplated Project. 2. The Proiect is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the l!reatest public l!ood and the least private iniurv: The Agency has increased its efforts to address conditions of blight in this sector of the Central City North Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project Area") to foster a commercially viable and economically sustainable plan of redevelopment and reuse of the properties within the Project Area and to prevent the spread of blight in the Project Area into other surrounding neighborhoods. The assembly and redevelopment of the Property is necessary as the Project Area displays a number of conditions of blight including the presence of old structures that show signs of dilapidation and deterioration, high crime rate. high volume of code compliance cases. absentee owners and tenants in possession. and inadequate lot size. Redevelopment of the Property will eliminate blight and provide needed residential and retail development in the Project Area and will assist with the elimination of blight in other areas in proximity to the Project. .ii"i;::i96"O:5S.SS-jmm..mm.m..............................m.........................m_..m.mm...................COMMissioN.MEEiiN.G AG-END"" p -\'~e"J~; ("mm De' C"rnm'hl<ln ((X-:<.lGt> 0'.1')_06 Re''':''l'''" "f'-C~nl'l) - J'i; '<:Inn G Street SR 00, Meeting Date: 07/1012006 Agenda Item Number: ~ Economic Development Agency Staff Report Allied - CCN Property Acquisition-APN: 0134-101-28 Page 3 3. The subiect PropertY is necessarY for the Proiect: The Agency previously acquired six (6) parcels of real property in the vicinity of the Property and desires to acquire this additional Property to provide sufficient contiguous land for the Project. The Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury in light of the fact that the real property included in the Project Area displays a number of symptoms of blight. The Project shall also facilitate land assembly and reuse of a developed urban area that has stagnated in recent years under the burdens of small lot size. diverse ownership, abandoned properties, absentee owners, high crime (91 Part I Crimes for the period of January II-April II, 1006; 436 Part I Crimes for 2005 and 426 for 2004) and code compliance cases. The Project will also confer substantial environmental benefits upon the Project Area and the community generally, in accordance with the General Plan of the City of San Bernardino. 4. The Government Code & 7267.2(a) offers have been made to the record Property Owner: On May 27. 1005 and April 25. 2006 the Agency submitted formal acquisition offers to the Property Owner of the subject Property. The offers comply with Government Code ~ 7267.2. To date. the Agency and the Property Owner have not been able to agree upon a Purchase Price for the Property. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: On or about September 7. 2004, the Community Development Commission considered and certified Environmental Impact Report SCH#1003031072 (the "EIR") in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act C'CEQA") for the Project Area which addresses reinstating the Agency's power of condemnation and the acquisition of Property contemplated within the Plan and for the Project is consistent with the EIR for the Project Area. On November 7. 1005, the Community Development Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration and authorized Staff to file a Notice of Determination ("NOD") with the County Clerk for the Project pursuant to the approved Agreement. On November 10.2005. said NOD was filed with the County Clerk. FISCAL IMPACT: Based on the appraisal. the cost to acquire the subject Property is $1.390.000 plus court costs and legal expenses normally associated with condemnation proceedings for an approximate total of $1,450,000. RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Development Commission adopt the attached Resolution. <. ~(~ Maggie Pachec .".i:;i::;;;6.6:5S.ig.j.-....--...................--.--.--.--.--.--...---..--.------...-..--......--...-.................C.Oi~j'M.issioN.'ME'ETING-AGENDA" r A~enja;,C)mm De, Comm"l.on CDC :0060i.IO.oc, Re;olunon of....e~ml1,. ~<l~ "'ol"lh G Slfttl SRdoc Meeting Date: 07/1012006 Agenda Item Number: R..IJfJ 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2 3 RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DECLARING THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY OF ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY BY THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO FOR COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PURPOSES OVER THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 495 NORTH "G" STREET, SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA (APN: 0134-101-28) IN THE CENTRAL CITY NORTH REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA, AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO.

In accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 6 1245.230, the Commission finds, determines, and declares as follows: 7 (a) The public interest, convenience and necessity require the acquisition of the 8 Property for the Project, as necessary to alleviate conditions of blight in the Project Area, which are documented and described in more detail in the EIR and CEQA Initial Study dated October II, 2005, and to provide for the orderly redevelopment of the Property and other real property included in the Project Area. The assembly and redevelopment of the Property is necessary as the Project Area displays a number of conditions of blight, including without limitation prevalence of absentee owners, high volume of code compliance cases, crime statistics substantially higher than the City rate, the presence of old structures that show signs of dilapidation and deterioration and small or substandard lot sizes within the Project Area, including the subject Property, and a diverse pattern of land ownership which prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use of such real property in its present condition. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 For the period of January II through April II, 2006, the number of Part I Crimes within the area of the Plan and Project were 91. For the period 2005, there were 436 Part I Crimes. For the period 2004, there were 426 Part I Crimes. For the period of January 11 through April II, 2006, this equates to 312.69 Part I Crimes per 1,000 people. Part I Crimes include murder, 20 21 22 23 rape, assault, robbery, burglary, grand theft auto and other theft. Crimes such as drug 24 use/possession/sale, panhandling, prostitution, etc. are not included in the figures.
