ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
1. Report regarding the Successor Agency disposition and City acquisition of the former
Redevelopment Agency properties at 616 and 700 Linden Avenue for $1,660,000. (Deanna
Talavera, Management Analyst II)
la. Resolution No. 16-2022 appropriating $1,660,000 through Budget Amendment number
22.048 for the allocation of funds to pay the Taxing Entities to retain control of the former
Redevelopment Agency properties at 616 and 700 Linden Avenue for the purpose of
constructing a park.
Management Analyst Talavera presented the report and provided an overview of the proposed
disposition and acquisition of former Redevelopment Agency properties at 616 and 700 Linden
Avenue. The plot at 616 Linden Avenue measures 100 feet by 140 feet and is zoned Downtown Mixed
Use. The land is currently used as a 20 -space metered parking lot. In 1997, the agency paid $325,000
for the property. A Quonset but -style building, and an automotive repair shop were the only structures
on the property at the time.
The lot at 700 Linden Avenue is a 14,000 -square -foot site that is 100 feet by 140 feet and is also zoned
Downtown Mixed Use. The Agency bought the property for $315,000 in 1998 with the idea of using
it as neighborhood parking. The parcel is now open green space.
According to the Long -Range Property Management Plan ("LRPMP") and California Health and
Safety Code section 34191.5 (c)(2)(A)(i), the Properties were transferred to the City for disposition
in accordance with the LRPMP. According to the LRPMP, the highest and best use for the properties
at 616 and 700 Linden Avenue is high density housing. Section 34177(e) of the Health and Safety
Code mandates that former redevelopment agency properties be sold "as quickly as possible" and in
a way that "maximizes value."
In the past when disposing of other properties on the LRPMP, the City has sought approval of the
sales price from the County of San Mateo Countywide Oversight Board, which is comprised of
representatives from the Taxing Entities, and it intends to do so here as well. The City monies
allocated to keep the Properties for development as parks will be dispersed to the Taxing Entities in
the following percentages, assuming approval by the Oversight Board:
Taxing Entity
Percentage of
Proceeds
South San Francisco Unified School District
43.9%
San Mateo County
25.7%
City of South San Francisco
16.701/o
SMC Community College District
7.3%
Other
16.4%
In the City's existing Housing Element, the above properties have been identified as housing
opportunity locations. The City will have to find other acceptable sites to replace the Properties if
they are developed as a park. If the Properties are developed as a park, this re -designation will be
dealt with during the next Housing Element cycle.

Budget Amendment number 22.048 requests that the City Council authorize spending $1,660,000
from the Parks Acquisition Fund (Fund 805) to pay for the preservation of 616 and 700 Linden
Avenues. The real cost to the City, if accepted by the Oversight Board, would be $1,382,780, because
the City is entitled to a 16.7% share (or approximately $277,220) of the net profits from the
transaction.
Councilmember Addiego requested clarification on the purchase price of the property and funding.
Acting Deputy Director of Economic and Community Development Barnard provided an overview
of the acquisition process and cost. City Manager Futrell indicated that $1.1 million funding comes
from developer and impact fees.

the community and their quality of life. Vice Mayor Nicolas also voiced support and concurred with
Councilmember Flores.
Councilmember Coleman expressed his support and noted the importance of open space for the
community.

reinvesting funds into the community. He requested that staff respond to community member
Carney's inquiry.
