On September 3, 1991 the COllllll1Dlity Development Commission approved an
Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Rancon Financial Corporation
concerning the city block bounded by Fourth, Fifth, "D", and "E"
Streets. The agreement tasked Rancon with providing four work products
on or before January I, 1992:
1) a preliminary concept design for the Project;
2) a market feasibility study demonatrating the need for the Project to
be constructed in the Downtown area;
3) an evaluation of the parking needs in the Downtown area and the
impacts to be caused by the Project; and
4)
I
a determination by the Developer of the parcel or parcels of the
Property upon which the Project shall be developed.
On October 18, 1991, Commission Members received a presentation of the
first of these work products, the preliminary design concept. The
presentation was wide ranging and included the interaction of the Rancon
block with other areas in the downtown business district. The need for a
Specific Plan to guide downtown development was also discussed.
The attached project summary describes the details of Phase I, some
description of future phases, and related downtown improvements.
Agreement regarding the design concept for Phase I will be needed before
Rancon can pursue the market feasibility study and before beginning a
concurrent effort to obtain commitment letters from prospective tenants
which are required by February 29, 1992. Adoption of the first form
motion will express the Commission's conceptual approval of Phase I
including:
a) approval of the concept of subdividing the block into four (4)
quadrants by construction of two (2) new streets;
b) approval of an office tower of up to 180,000 square feet on the
northeast corner of "E" and 4th Streets including a cafe and terrace;
c) approval of a five hundred and seventy (570) car garage plus
associated retail uses located north of the office tower; and

Dear Mr. Steinhaus:
This letter will serve as our request for the approval of the first phase of our agreement
with the Economic Development Agency for the conceptual design of the superblock
bounded by 4th, 5th, D and E Streets.
The central elements of this conceptual approval will be installation of the bisecting
streets and streetscapes, as well as the proposed Phase I land uses which include an
office tower, restaurant and retail space, a plaza and associated parking garage.
Once we have this approval, we will confidently move to the next phases of our
responsibilities, as required in our agreement with special emphasis on marketing for
Phase I and the required feasibility studies.
We look forward to your enthusiastic approval and ongoing cooperation.
