The site is the product of a land assembly project which combined 73 separate properties over the past 15 years. A future commercial development is being planned for the site. During the past year, Agency Staff has worked with consultants and contractors to clear the site and prepare it for the proposed future commercial development. The final task in this process was removing the streets, curb and gutter and relocating the utilities. This work was completed in July, 2010. CURRENT ISSUE: On November 20, 2006, the Agency entered into a Redevelopment Project Study and Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement ("ERN") with Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., to study the possibility of developing the site into a retail center to include several retail stores and restaurants and to be anchored by a Home Depot store. The Agreement has expired; however, Agency Staff continued to negotiate with Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. and Mark Development, Inc. (the "Developers"), regarding the purchase and development of the property. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. would purchase 8.93 acres, and Mark Development, Inc. would purchase 8.50 acres. On September 9, 2010, the Developers made a presentation to the RDA Committee which showed the proposed design of the development and gave examples of future tenants for the outlying pads. The Developers estimate the project will create 250 construction jobs, 363 permanent jobs, $37,200,000 in gross sales, $1,458,000 in annual sales tax revenue and $30,000,000 in assessed valuation. On January 10,2011 the Community Development Commission of the City of San Bernardino (the "Commission") approved an ERN with the Developers. This Agreement provides for the following: . The Developers will develop the entire Site with a quality development to the satisfaction of the City and the Agency, with an estimated value of $30,000,000. . The Developers agree to pay $4,463,600 for the Site. The Developers will also have to agree to comply with certain covenants imposed by HUD related to the Section 108 Loan. The Developers will pay the sum of $50,000 to the Agency by way of a non-refundable deposit, which will be applied against the purchase price should that event occur.

The Agreement is for a period of twenty-four (24) months with a six (6) month extension to give sufficient time for the ErR to be completed and for a necessary zone change, from PCR (Public/Commercial Recreation) to CG-l (Commercial General), to take place. In the event that the six (6) month extension is required, the Developers will pay an additional $50,000 in a non-refundable deposit, which will be applied against the purchase price should that event occur. . All other project study and third (3 rd) party costs are at the sole cost of the Developers. In addition, Section 3 of the Agreement specifies that the Agency shall undertake all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") at the cost of the Developers. The Developers now desire to proceed with the preparation of the EIR for the project. The City's Community Development Department ("Community Development") has agreed that the Agency will assume the role of Lead Agency for the purposes of CEQA, with Community Development acting in the capacity of Responsible Agency. The Developers have identified Lilbum Corporation ("Lilbum") as their consultant of choice to which Community Development, in their capacity of Responsible Agency, have agreed. The cost of preparing the EIR is $200,000. Proposals were also submitted by Dudek and ECORP Consulting, Inc. ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT: None. This activity does not meet the definition ofa "Project" under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), which states that a "Project" means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: All costs will be reimbursed by the Developer to the Agency. Agency will pay $200,000 to Lilbum and be reimbursed by the Developer. RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Development Commission adopt the attached Resolution.
