ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY a STAFF REPORT W-------------------------------------------------- HEARING - RESOLUTION OF PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY: 746 WEST 5TH STREET, SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA BACKGROUND: On November 7, 2005, the Community Development Commission ("Commission") approved the Central City North Downtown Mixed Use Project Concept Plan ("Plan or Project") and the Redevelopment Project Study and Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement ("Agreement") with Watson & Associates Development Co., Inc. ("Developer"). Through the Plan and the CEQA compliance that was undertaken as part of the Plan approval on November 7,2005, the Agency will acquire certain properties in an effort to encourage and effectuate the redevelopment of certain real propert~ ("Study Area") bounded by, 5th Street to the north, "G" Street on the east, "H" Street on the west, and 4t Street on the south, including the north side of 5th Street between "H" Street and "G" Street, the four (4) parcels at the northeast corner of 5th Street and "G" Street, and the six (6) parcels at the southeast corner of 5th and "G" Street but excluding the new TELACU II Monte Vista Senior Housing Complex. 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 .mmediately south of the mixed use development on the south side of 5th Street and on the west side of .'G" Street. The Plan will also include complimentary parking and amenities, which will include a unified high quality architectural and urban design. Moreover, the objective of the Project 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, 5 additional parcels are in escrow or pending escrow and 16 parcels remain to be acquired. The Property was appraised by a qualified appraiser. On September 25, 2005, the Agency sent a purchase offer ("Offer") to The Salvation Army ("Property Owner") to purchase the property located at 746 West 5th Street, San Bernardino, California (APN: 0134- 054-07, 08 and 09) (the "Property"). The Offer was mailed to the address on file with the office of the County Tax Assessor as shown on the last equalized County Assessment Roll and the Property Owner's Legal Counsel. The Property Owner received the Offer. Upon obtaining a Summary of Valuation from the Appraiser, the Agency transmitted the previous Offer and Summary of Valuation in conformity with Government Code Section 7267 .2(b) to Roger M. Sullivan, acting as legal counsel to The Salvation Army ("Salvation Army Counsel") on March II, 2006. Salvation Army Counsel has received the Offer. An updated appraisal was obtained and a summary was provided to counsel for the Property Owner from Agency Counsel on June IS, 2006. In the Offer that was transmitted to both the Property Owner and Salvation Army Counsel, the Property aOwner 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, if applicable. To date, neither the Property Owner nor the Salvation Army Counsel have accepted or made a counter offer to the Agency's Offer. -.;813-843;):8689-:1------------------------ ----------------CO-MMisSION MEETING AGENDA---- Meeting Date: 07/24/2006 Agenda Item Number: R.3~ P:\Agendas\Comm Dev Commlsslon\CDC 1006\07-14-06 Resolution orNetml.ly - 746 Wal Stb Street Final SR.do\: Economic Development Agency Staff Report Salvation Army-CCN Property Acquisition-APN: 0134-054-07, 08 and 09 Page 2 _t should be noted that The Salvation Army is currently attempting to obtain its own appraisal of the Property in anticipation of making a counter offer to the Agency. The Property is improved with a two-story concrete block structure that the Property Owner has advised is used as a Church. The construction of the improvement dates back to the 1950's. CURRENT ISSUES: Therefore, in conformance with the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, on July 6,2006, a notice of the July 24, 2006 hearing on adopting a Resolution of Public Interest and Necessity was sent by certified mail to the Salvation Army Counsel and 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. Additionally, the Notice of the Hearing was mailed to the Salvation Army Counsel. 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 reuuire the acuuisition of the Property: The Agency has adopted a Plan that includes this Property together with an agreement to assemble land for eventual redevelopment in accordance with said Plan. The proposed Project is a unified mixed- use development that will include portions of the Property. The proposal is to have retail on the bottom level and owner-occupied housing on the second and third levels that will include some affordable housing. During the past year, the Agency has acquired six (6) parcels of land, 5 additional parcels are in escrow or pending escrow and 16 parcels remain to be acquired 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. e 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 iniury: 5th Street has had a problem with crime and blight, particularly near the 1-215 freeway. 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. Redevelopment of the Property will provide needed residential and retail development and assist with elimination of blight in other areas in proximity to the Project. 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 substandard and inadequate lot size. The Project will 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 and code compliance cases. The Agency has seen some success in its increased effort . to address blight in this area, although there is still much work to do. Part 1 Crimes for this area in 2004 were 426 and 436 in 2005. The number decreased drama!ically to ?1 from January ll_~? -4813:8433:8689~i---------------------------------------------- COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA P:\Alcpdas\Comm Dn Conunl$slon\CDC :Z006\07.2~ Resolution ofNec:asity - 746 West Sib Street FlIIll SR.doc Meeting Date: 07/24/2006 Agenda Item Number: l.33 Economic Development Agency Staff Report Salvation Army-CCN Property Acquisition-APN: 0134-054-07, 08 and 09 Page 3 _ April 11, 2006. This project will provide attractive affordable housing similar to TELACU but for all citizens. This creates a sense of pride and increases the public's effort to keep their neighborhood safe and secure. This project will further the positive impact started by TELACU and the new Holiday Inn Express in the in the Central City North Redevelopment Project Area. 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. The Redevelopment Plan was amended on September 7, 2004 by adoption of an amendment to reinstate the power of condemnation together with an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") that was duly certified at that time. _ 3. The subiect ProDertv is necessary for the Proiect: The Agency previously acquired several 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. This particular property is located directly in the middle of the proposed development. The Project cannot be built around the subject Property. Failing to include the Property in the Project could create a situation where the Developer would either abandon the proposed Project (thereby hurting the City residents) or demand increased concessions. If the Commission approves the Resolution of Necessity, the Agency is still able to negotiate with the Property Owner. 4. The Government Code & 7267.2(a) offers have been made to the record ProDertv Owner: On September 25, 2005 and March 14, 2006, the Agency submitted formal acquisition offers to the Property Owner of the subject Property and Salvation Army Counsel respectively. The Offer complied with Government Code Section 7267.2. The Property Owner and Salvation Army Counsel have orally rejected to the Offers and advised Staff that they will be obtaining an appraisal of the Property. ENVIRONMENT AL IMPACT: On or about September 7, 2004, the Community Development Commission considered and certified Environmental Impact Report SCH#2003031072 (the "EIR") in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("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, 2005, 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. The statute of limitations applicable to challenges that a public entity approved a proj ect without making a proper CEQA determination is 35 days from the date of the filing by the public agency of the notice or if there is no notice or formal decision, 180 days from the date of the public agency's decision to carry out or approve the project. There was no CEQA challenge and the time has expired to change CEQA _comPliance. -';813~843:i~i689~1-------'-----------------------------------------------COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA P:\Alcndu\Comm Dev Commlsslon\CDC 2006\07.24-06 Resolullon orNecasity. 746 West Sib Slreet FlAil sadoc Meeting Date: 07/24/2006 Agenda Item Number: 1..33 Economic Development Agency Staff Report Salvation Army-CCN Property Acquisition-APN: 0134-054-07, 08 and 09 Page 4 e~JSCAL IMPACT: Based on the appraisal, the value of the subject Property is $1,185,000 plus court costs and legal expenses normally associated with condemnation proceedings for an approximate total of$I,659,000.
