Pearlman/Hopkins have proceeded with leasing activities and worked with Agency staff to design a feasible project. LSA Associates has been hired to carry out a California (CEQA) environmental review for the HUB project. The environmental revicw commenced on May 16, 2000. Shortly thercafter, Dodson & Assoc was asked to expand the environmental review by adding a Federal (NEP A) component. Agency staff has also obtained preliminary real property valuation services from James Smothers, MAL Although environmental documentation and final terms of a development agreement for the overall HUB Project have not been completed, it is clear that a key environmental mitigation measure for addressing both existing and projected traffic circulation issues is the design and construction of a new Harriman Place intersection to replace the existing Laurelwood intersection at Tippecanoe Avenue. Engineering work undertaken by Hopkins/Pearlman has delineated relocated street right of ways for construction of the Harriman Place Extension that will replace the existing Laurelwood Drive. Construction of the new street right of way and development of the intersection at Tippecanoe will require acquisition and demolition of the existing University Motel. This street extension will resolve the traffic circulation issues along this portion of Tippecanoe Avenue. CURRENT ISSUES The acqmsltlOn of University Motel will be required to accomplish the City's plan for construction of the Harriman Place Extension that will cross over from existing Rosewood to Laurelwood Drive (see attached map). More immediately, acquisition of University Motel will provide a solution to long-standing public street access and egress issues at the current In-N-Out Burger location. In-N-Out Burger will be able to reconstruct its store closer to the new intersection of Harriman Place and Tippecanoe after the new street right of way lines have been established. This relocation of the In-N-Out business will eliminate the public street traffic .------------------------.------------------------------------------------------_.--.-------------------------------------------.----------- GYO:JBH:lag: 12-04-00 Tippecanoe revised COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 12/04/2000 Agenda Item Number: -R..M Economic Development Agency Staff Report Tippecanoe - Motel Acquisition November 22, 2000 Page Number -3- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- conflicts that presently exist. The first step toward acquiring the motel is for the Community Development Commission to authorize a full appraisal of the property. No environmental clearance is required to begin the property appraisal. Appraisal work falls in the category of feasibility studies that are statutorily exempt from preparation of environmental documents as described in Section 15262 of the State CEQA Guidelines. A notice of exemption should, however, be filed with the County. A related issue for resolving the final reconfiguration of the street intersection improvements is that In-N-Out will want to be assured they have a legal use before building a new (enlarged) building. Drive-thm restaurants are not currently allowed in C-3 zoning north of 1-10. A Development Code Amendment will be needed to accommodate a relocation of this use. At the direction of the Council, Planning staff will consider and recommend how to define the limits of this use. FISCAL IMP ACT The appraisal work will cost less than $10,000. (The actual amount depends upon the amount and type of information furnished by the owner). The cost of future steps in the acquisition process for the new Harriman Place and Tippecanoe Avenue intersection project will be estimated based upon the results of the appraisal. These costs will be brought back to the Commission for further consideration at several points in the process. Planning estimates that the cost of Development Code Amendment will cost approximately $2000. This includes legal advertisements and copying charges. RECOMMENDA nON The Redevelopment Committee considered these matters and has recommended approval of the form motions. Motion A would authorize appraisal work to proceed and file a notice of exemption from CEQ . Motion B would begin the Development Code Amendment process. dl _______________________________~dU___.__________________~__nn___________________n___..__n___n________________nn_____n__n_________ GVO:JBH:lag: 12-04-00 Tippecanoe revised COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 12/04/2000 Agenda Item Number: ~1 u_ _.__'_ "-.---'- --=~- - .-::: H~ I .....,.,n..~~:-;. n, l .lJ~ --- - --~ -~-- ; ~.:.:::-:~~;..~: ..
