HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem No. 02 - Results of the Letter of Interest for the Bice Property Page 1 Staff Report City of San Bernardino Request for Council Action Date: April 15, 2020 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Teri Ledoux, City Manager By:Michael Huntley, Community & Economic Development Director Subject: Results of the Letter of Interest for the Bice Property Recommendation It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, consider: 1. Directing the City Manager to proceed with the preparation of an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (“ENA”) between the City of San Bernardino and SA Marina, LLC for the purchase and development of the Bice property; and 2. Requesting that the final draft ENA come before the Mayor and City Council for final consideration. Background The Bice Property is approximately 93.3 acres, includes a total of 129 vacant parcels , and is located fronting the 215 Freeway just north of Little League Drive. The property was previously acquired by the former San Bernardino Redevelopment Agenc y. Following the State’s decision to dissolve all California redevelopment agencies in 2012, the property, along with other former redevelopment agency property assets, could not be sold until a property disposition strategy was created and approved by th e Successor Agency, the County of San Bernardino Oversight Board , and the State Department of Finance. Due to the complexity of the Dissolution Act, the disposition strategy was not adopted until late 2015. The Bice Property is identified in the Successor Agency’s Long Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”) as Site No. 26. The LRPMP provides more detailed information on the project site. A copy of the LRPMP is available on the City’s website under the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agen cy. The Bice Property is currently the only available large -size freeway site adjacent vacant property under single ownership in San Bernardino. The project site is currently zoned for RL (Residential Low - 3.1 d.u. per acre), RL 3.5 (Residential Low - 3.5 d.u. per acre), and PFC (Publicly Owned Flood Control). It is possible that the City may consider alternate land use for the project site, subject to compatibility with adjacent zoning and land uses and City Council approval. 6673 Page 2 There are two important factors that may affect the sale and development of the property: 1. The project site has been designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a San Bernardino Merriam’s Kangaroo Rat habitat area. More information may be found at this link: <https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp0/profile/speciesProfile?spcode=A0G8>. Therefore, the Project Site may be subject to certain mitigation measures associated with the San Bernardino Merriam’s Kangaroo Rat (“K-Rat Mitigation Measures”); and 2. One parcel, in its entirety, along with portions of three other parcels within the property, have been zoned by the City as Publicly Owned Flood Control (PFC). Therefore, portions of the Project Site may be subject to certain flood control requirements of the City and/or the San Bernardino County Flood Control District for flood control purposes (“Special Flood Control Requirements”). Since these matters may affect the net area available for development and/or the cost of developing the project site and thus the ultimate sales price f or the property, the City may provide a prospective buyer additional time to conduct an appropriate due diligence review with respect to assessing these matters in furtherance of supporting the successful implementation of the intended development scenario. This may involve providing an agreement for an exclusive negotiation period and a disposition and development agreement to confirm the desired development commitments. Discussion On September 18, 2019, the City released the Letter of Interest for the s ale of the 93.3 acre property referred to as the Bice Property (Attachment 1). The LOI was circulated for 30 days allowing interested developers the opportunity to respond to the City. The City received a total of three (3) submittals. The following inf ormation provides the name of the development entity and a general description of their proposal. Each of the proposals is attached to this report for additional information: 1. SA Marina, LLC - The proposal is referred to as the Bella Vista Specific Plan. The conceptual proposal includes the establishment of a master plan of development (Specific Plan) that includes both commercial and industrial development along the freeway/westerly portion of the property; and a mix of residential uses ranging from estate home (1 du/acre) to medium-high density residential development (24 du/acre) on the remainder of the property allowing up to approximately 1,940 residential units. 2. Watermarke Homes & GFR Homes - The proposal is referred to as University Heights. The conceptual proposal is a mixed -use master planned community that includes the development of approximately 500 detached residential dwellings, championship soccer fields, and possibly a logistics component. 3. Howard Industrial Partners - The proposal would include the rezoning of the 6673 Page 3 property to allow the development of four separate warehouse/logistics/fulfillment buildings totaling approximately 1.97 million square feet. The developer contends that there is a great demand for additional fulfillment centers in the greater Inland Empire. The proposals were vetted through a two -step process. The first review of the submittals was conducted by an internal review panel of four City staff. Based on the review of the submittals, the panel believed it was in the best interest to interview all of the prospective candidates. The second step in the review process included an interview of the three candidates. The interview panel was made up of in -house city staff and an outside consultant. Subsequent to the interviews, the scores were tallied for each of the candidates and averaged. The following is the rating from highest to lowest scores. 1. SA Marina, LLC 26 2. Howard Industrial Partners 22.25 3. Watermarke Homes & GFR Homes 19.5 Results Although all three candidates are quite capable development entities in their own right, based on the submittal information and interviews, SA Marina, LLC scored the highest and staff believes that the team that makes up the development entity has the gr eatest ability to carry out the design and development of the property in the amount of time. Specifically, staff has drawn these conclusions based on the fact that this development entity: 1. Is self-funded and does not need to depend on conventional financing; 2. Has a development team with years of experience designing and developing a multitude of projects; 3. Has design professionals and/or companies that have years of experience working on the subject and surrounding properties. Their technological knowledge of the site and surrounding area will assist in their ability to move a project forward in a more timely manner than other development entities that will have to start from the beginning; 4. Started community outreach in 2018 when they first envisioned the Bella Vista Specific Plan and have a better understanding of what the interest are in the Verdemont area; and 5. Has control and/or an agreement with the adjacent property owner to include additional properties into the overall development of the area, something the other candidates do not have. *Note: SA Marina, LLC’s proposal includes an exhibit that illustrates the other adjacent properties. As such, it is staff’s recommendation that the Mayor and the City Council select SA Marina, LLC as the development entity that will purchase and develop the Bice Property. 2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals 6673 Page 4 The proposed Letter of Interest to solicit developers interested in purchasing and developing the Bice Property aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improve Quality of Life. The identification of a competent and experienced development entity will facilitate the master planning and development of a vacant 93.3 acre property. Future development will be beneficial to the quality of life in the Verdemont area of the city. Fiscal Impact The preparation and administering of the Letter of Interest process for the Bice Property was identified in the FY 2019/20 Community and Economic Development Department operating budget. Conclusion It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, consider: 1. Directing the City Manager to proceed with the negotiation and preparation of an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (“ENA”) between the City of San Bernardino and SA Marina, LLC for the purchase and development of the Bice property; and 2. Requesting that the final draft ENA come before the Mayor and City Council for final consideration.

The 93.3 acre Verdemont/I-215 Project Site (the “Project Site”) is a significant development opportunity because it is: 1. Adjacent to and is visible from the Interstate 215 Freeway; 2. Immediately connectable to the greater Inland Empire area at the nearby Palm Avenue interchange; 3. Located in an area with higher end single family residential development; 4. To the northeast of and across the freeway from an 8-mile long 4.0-square mile North San Bernardino Industrial District (located along Historic Route 66); 5. In close proximity to California State University, San Bernardino (“CSUSB”); 6. Near the Glen Helen Amphitheater located within the Glen Helen Regional Park; 7. Near the Little League Western Region Headquarters; and 8. Currently vacant and available for development. Developer selection will involve a two -step process. This invitation to submit an LOI is the first step that will result in the identification of the most qualified developers . The second step will invite the most qualified developers to submit an in-depth proposal for consideration by the Mayor and City Council. It is anticipated that the City and the most qualified developer selected will enter into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (“ENA”) for the Project Site and the negotiation of the sale and development of the property through a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”). Background The Project Site (refer to Exhibit “B” for a list of the parcels) was previously acquired by the former San Bernardino Redevelopment Agency. Following the State’s decision to dissolve all California redevelopment agencies, the City has taken the necessary steps to enable the Project Site to be sold for future development. It is important to note that the ultimate disposition will require additional compliance with certain procedures Invitation for Letters of Interest Verdemont/I-215 Project September 2019 City of San Bernardino Page 2 of 4 related to the wind-down of former redevelopment agencies. The City will be responsible for managing that process. The Project Site is identified in the Successor Agency’s Long Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”) as Site No. 26. The LRPMP provides more detailed information on the Project Site. A copy of the LRPMP is available on the City’s website under the Successor Agency of the former Redevelopment Agency. There are three interchanges off of the I-215 that serve the greater North San Bernardino/Verdemont area (i.e., Glen Helen Parkway on the north, Palm Avenue in the center and University Parkway on the south), which makes the area well-connected to the greater Inland Empire. The Project Site is located just south of the Glen Helen Amphitheater, the largest outdoor music venue in the United States with a seating capacity of 65,000. The Amphitheater hosts internationally known top-tier performers that draw from the region. The immediate area is also home to California State University San Bernardino and the Little League Western Region Headquarters. Further, the Verdemont area, which is approximately 10 miles north of the Downtown area, is one of the City's most desirable neighborhoods with excellent socio-economics and quality housing. The Project Site is the only currently available large-size freeway adjacent vacant property under single ownership in San Bernardino. The Project Site is currently zoned for RL (Residential Low – 3.1 d.u. per acre), RL 3.5 (Residential Low – 3.5 d.u. per acre) and PFC (Publicly Owned Flood Control). It is possible that the City may consider alternate land uses for the Project Site, subject to compatibility with adjacent zoning and land uses. There are two important factors that may affect the use of th e Project Site: 1. The Project Site has been designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a San Bernardino Merriam’s Kangaroo Rat habitat area. More information may be found at this link: https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp0/profile/speciesProfile?spcode=A0G8. Therefore, the Project Site may be subject to certain mitigation measures associated with the San Bernardino Merriam’s Kangaroo Rat (“K-Rat Mitigation Measures”); and 2. One parcel in its entirety, along with portions of 3 other parcels within the Project Site have been zoned by the City as Publicly Owned Flood Control (PFC). Therefore, portions of the Project Site may be subject to certain flood control requirements of the City and/or the San Bernardino County Flood Control District for flood control purposes (“Special Flood Control Requirements”). Based on the foregoing, the Project Site may be subject to certain K-Rat Mitigation Measures and/or Special Flood Control Requirements. Since these matters may affect the net area available for development and/or the cost of developing the Project Site Invitation for Letters of Interest Verdemont/I-215 Project September 2019 City of San Bernardino Page 3 of 4 (and thus the ultimate sales price for the Project Site), the City may provide a prospective buyer additional time to conduct an appropriate due diligence review with respect to assessing these matters in furtherance of supporting the successful implementation of the intended development scenario. This may involve providing an agreement for an exclusive negotiation period and a disposition and development agreement to confirm the desired development commitments. It is anticipated that the Project Site will generate significant interest for development that is compatible with the types of land uses prevalent in the general area. With that in mind, the City prefers that the Project Site be developed with uses that are complementary to, and will enhance the quality of development in the City of San Bernardino in general and the Verdemont area in particular.

CONCEPT PLAN CONCEPT SITE PLAN E-Commerce Requirements Driving User Demand: Dramatic growth in e-commerce has caused users to redesign and augment their supply chains by opening fulfillment centers dedicated to online sales operations. This is a relatively new demand component to the industrial market and has created a new wave of larger requirements.In the Inland Empire over the past several years,Amazon.com alone has absorbed over 9M SF of space,Home Depot recently leased a 1M SF fulfillment center,Wayfair.com leased over 2M SF,and a significant number of the major retailers,many with existing brick-and-mortar distribution centers,have opened or plan to open Inland Empire fulfillment centers in 2019/2020.As a well established submarket for major corporate occupiers,the I-215 corridor has landed many of these online fulfillment center requirements. E-commerce sales in 2016 accounted for only 8.1%of total U.S.retail sales,but is expected to double in size by 2020. 6 On a smaller scale,HIP intends to develop the subject property into a fulfillment and e-commerce campus similar to the Meredith International Centre,which is now home to QVC –the highest sales tax generator in the City of Ontario.QVC will do approximately $700-$800M in sales from its 1m sf facility and employ 1,500 people.The development of the Meredith International Centre,along with the privately funded infrastructure it brought,has proven to be a catalyst to varying types of developments immediately adjacent to the industrial park.These include:an 800 unit luxury apartment community,an Audi dealership,a Land Rover dealership,and a future IKEA store. 7 PROJECT EXAMPLE Howard Industrial Partners develops state-of-the-art,best-in-class,LEED certified facilities which will be designed specifically to target and attract fulfillment and e-commerce users.The buildings will be handsomely appointed with above-standard design features and lush,appealing landscaping.HIP uses 100%California native flora which use 50%less water (e.g.pepper trees).
