Box 711 South San Francisco, CA. 94083 RE: Proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Downtown/Central Redevelopment Project Dear Mayor Teglia and City Council Members: Olympian Oil Company is of the opinion that the staff responses to comments made in our June 12, 1989 letter to you on the above Redevelopment Plan and Project are both inadequate and unacceptable. In our letter we raised specific concerns about the proposed North Canal Street Overcrossing project and about new building and land use restrictions which this new Redevelopment Project would impose on properties we own in the Project area. The responses which we received on the North Canal Street Overcrossing project were inflexible and self-serving while the responses made to our building restrictions questaons were both vague and non-committal. When questions were raised by your traffic consultant on another roadway project proposed in the Redevelopment Plan, the point San Bruno Boulevard to East Grand Avenue Connection, staff deleted this project from the latest draft of the Redevelopment Plan. We are now asking that you do the same thing with the North Canal Street project since the feasibility and desirability of this project is now in serious question. It is our position that the Project EIR has already analyzed the feasibility of this project in sufficient detail to tell you that the project is not only not needed but it would create more problems in the surrounding area than ~t would solve. It is a waste of City money to do another feasibility study which will conclude the same thing as the Redevelopment Project EIR. What your consultants and/or staff fail to realize is that the listing of the North Canal Street Overcrossing Project in the Redevelopment Plan establishes an economic cloud over our long- established fueling use at 35 South Linden Avenue since this project is proposed to pass through and destroy our entire business at this location. We cannot allow this project proposal, which is not necessary, to severely diminish the value of our property. We will be forced to take action, if necessary, to protect our Company's interests in this regard. 6/28/89 Page 2a Page Two South San Francisco City Council June 27, 1989 Regarding the responses to our building restriction questions, your staff and/or consultants could only respondthat. . "at present there is, no intention on the part of the mty' to.substantially alter the zomng or&nance or procedures .... These are hardly the assurances whmh we asked for in our letter. Further, your staff states that "neither the City nor the Redevelopment Agency has the authority to impose deed restrictions or covenants on a property without some activity or involvement on an owner's part...". What does this response mean? Does the term "some activity or involvement" mean filing for a building permit? This needs to be clarified. In conclusion, I would respectfully request that pursuant to Section 406 of the Redevelopment Plan, the Redevelopment Agency determine that the following properties within the Project Area meet the reqmrements of this Plan, and the owners of such properties shall be permitted to remain as owners of such conforming properties without a participation agreement with the Agency: 1. 35 South Linden Avenue 2. 100 Baden Avenue 3. SE Comer of East Grand Avenue & Gateway Blvd. Olympian Oil Company would further ask that a Certificate of Conformance to this effect be issuedby the Agency at the earliest possible date. Your consideration of our position on the above would be appreciated.
