(#3387) Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable Financial Impact: There is no financial impact from the release of Solicitation Letter Motion: Adopt the Resolution. Synopsis of Previous Successor Agency Action: None Background: The Carousel Mall opened in 1972 but has been in a state of decline for several years and is currently less than 40% occupied. The Mall property totals approximately 43.5 acres, with a floor area of approximately 741,000 square feet, and a 3-story parking structure with 1,124 stalls. Over the past several months developers have approached staff inquiring about potential re-use opportunities. In order to seek the broadest possible interest in the property, staff is suggesting circulation of a Solicitation Letter seeking Letters of Interest from developers. The Solicitation Letter is intended to generate broad interest from developers with ideas the City might not otherwise think about. The City Manager/Executive Director of the Successor Agency will personally sign the Solicitation Letters inviting developers to submit a letter of interest accompanied by a short narrative describing the developer's vision for re-use of the Mall. Staff is seeking creative ideas that developers believe the market will support, and ideas we might not have envisioned. Staff will evaluate the responses and interview the most qualified firms to participate in an interview. Based upon the interview results, staff will either ask developers to submit further project detail or recommend a developer to the Agency Board. Ultimately the Agency will enter into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate (ERN) with a single developer. The ERN grants the developer the right to begin the planning and design work for the site for a set period of time. Re-use of the Carousel Mall is a significant part of the strategy to revitalize the downtown core. IL Release of the Solicitation Letter is the first step in that process. But it should also be noted that Updated: 7/29/2014 by Jolena E.Grider D I Packet Pg. 344 5.X 3387 before the Mall can be redeveloped/reused the California Department of Finance must approve sale of the property because the site was previously owned by the Redevelopment Agency.
