SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOAN FOR THE EXPANSION OF BUON
GUSTO RISTORANTE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $650,000 AND
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency Board adopt the attached Resolution
approving a loan for the expansion of Buon Gusto Ristorante in an amount not to exceed
$650,000 and authorizing the Executive Director to execute the loan documents.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Buon Gusto Ristorante, located at 224 Grand Avenue, has been one of the City's finest
restaurants since 1988. Buon Gusto is located in the heart of the Historic Downtown District
(HDD) and at the center of current public and private revitalization efforts. Recent new
businesses like Luminous Day Spa, Peet's Coffee and Ben Tre have added to the increasing
popularity of the Downtown, drawing people throughout the Peninsula to our local business
district. Buon Gusto's expansion will significantly enhance the area's renaissance.
The proposed project is made possible by an agreement reached with the adjacent property owner,
the Giffra Family Trust, allowing Buon Gusto to expand into their currently vacant tenant space.
Mid Peninsula Housing Coalition owns the building the restaurant occupies and has also agreed
to allow the expansion by virtue of a communicating opening between the two properties. Both
property owners require that in the event the restaurant (or future tenant) reverts to separate tenant
spaces, the communicating opening will be closed per the Building Code and at the restaurant
owner's expense. The expansion will provide Buon Gusto with twice the seating capacity, a full
service bar, new state of the art kitchen, and disabled accessible restrooms.
The City's Design Review Board has approved the proposed design and the construction
drawings have been submitted for building plan check. Buon Gusto anticipates construction
beginning immediately in an attempt to capitalize on this year's holiday season.
Staff Report
Subject: Loan of $650,000 for Expansion of Buon Gusto Ristorante
Page 2
The Design Review Board and Planning Division focused attention on trash collection and the
loading area for deliveries, requiring the project to provide a higher standard beyond what is
typical for Fourth Lane. The project is required to provide stand alone capabilities for both trash
collection and the loading area, in the event future changes result in separate tenant spaces.
Further, Buon Gusto is required to provide a second and separate trash enclosure from the one
which currently exists; an interim loading area and a permanent loading area, both of which will
park delivery trucks completely off Fourth Lane.
The Fire Marshal is requiring fire suppression systems to be integrated into the existing and
expansion areas. The requirement for the existing restaurant is in excess of minimum Building
Code mandates. While the existing restaurant space is not being remodeled~new fire sprinkler
systems are mandated for the entire project to maximize fire protection. These requirements are
adding over $200,000 to the project costs, including sprinkler and fire alarm systems.
FUNDING
The cost of the expansion was estimated earlier in the year to be $350,000. Recent projections,
accounting for increased structural recommendations, have brought the construction estimate to
$400,000. The fire suppression requirements bring the total budget to $650,000.
Redevelopment Agency funds have been set aside in the current year's CIP budget for this
remodel which has been anticipated for several months. The increase in the projected budget can
also be funded within the current year's budget with funds targeted specifically for projects of this
nature. The loan to the business owners will have simple interest of four (4%) percent, be
amortized over 35 years and will be secured by the lease and leasehold improvements. The
monthly payments on the promissory note will be $3,000 per month. Based on past performance
and historical cash receipts, Buon Gusto believes it will be manageable to meet the monthly
repayment of the loan.
CONCLUSION
This project is in keeping with the Downtown Revitalization Strategy the Agency Board
approved earlier this year to improve the economic vitality and enhance the character of the
district. The expansion of this restaurant compliments other improvements in the HDD, including
Bronstein's Music and Di Napoli, and :preserves a building with historic character.
Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency Board adopt the attached Resolution
approving a loan for the expansion of Buon Gusto Ristorante in an amount not to exceed
$650,000 and authorizing the Executive Director to execute the loan documents.

termination of this Agreement and the recordation of a Certificate of Completion. It is further
agreed that Agency and City do not, and shall not, waive any rights against Borrower which they
may have by reason of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement because of the acceptance by

satisfied its obligations regarding the :Project.
The Certificate of Completion shall be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as

of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation
of Borrower to any holder of a deed of trust or mortgage securing money loaned to finance the
Project or any part thereof and shall not be deemed a notice of completion under the California
1246539-2 C~
-11-
Civil Code, nor shall such Certificate provide evidence that Borrower has satisfied any obligation
that survives the expiration of this Agreement.
3.16 Equal Opportunity. During the construction of the Project, there shall be no
discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
ancestry or national origin in the hirir.-g, firing, promoting or demoting of any person engaged in

such provisions. If applicable, Borrower shall submit to Agency a plan for monitoring payment

3. Assignment of Rents, Issues, and Profits. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely,
presently and unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary the Rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue,
income and proceeds of the Property., This is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for
security only. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license to collect and retain such Rents,
royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and proceeds as they become due and payable prior to
any Event of Default hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Beneficiary
may terminate such license without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without regard to the
adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, and may either in person, by
agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, enter upon and take possession of the Property
or any part thereof, and sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits, including
those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and
collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such
order as Beneficiary may determine. Beneficiary's right to the rents, royalties, issues, profits,
revenue, income and proceeds of the Property does not depend upon whether or not Beneficiary

collection of such rents, issues, and profits, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not
cure or waive any default or notice o:f default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to
such notice. If an Event of Default occurs while Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the
Property and/or is collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Deed of Trust,
1246546-2 ~
-42-
Beneficiary, Trustee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every
right and remedy afforded any of theirs under this Deed of Trust and at law or in equity,
including the right to exercise the po~~ver of sale granted hereunder. Regardless of whether or not
Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Land or the Improvements,
Beneficiary shall not be deemed to be a "mortgagee in possession," shall not be responsible for
performing any obligation of Trustor under any Lease, shall not be liable in any manner for the
Property, or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of any part of it, and shall not be
responsible for any waste committed by Trustor, lessees or any third parties, or for dangerous or
defective condition of the Property or• any negligence in the management, repair or control of the
Property. Absent Beneficiary's written consent, Trustor shall not accept prepayment of Rents for
any rental period exceeding one month.
4. Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on the
Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary. The
parties acknowledge that some of the Property may be determined under applicable law to be
personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property may be or be determined to be
personal property, Trustor as debtor hereby grants to Beneficiary as secured party a security
interest in all such Property to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. This
Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the California Uniform Commercial Code,
as amended or recodified from time too time (the "UCC"), covering all such Property. To the
extent such Property is not real property encumbered by the lien granted above, and is not
absolutely assigned by the assignment set forth above, it is the intention of the parties that such
Property shall constitute "proceeds, products, offspring, rents, or profits" (as defined in and for
the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such section may be
modified or supplemented) of the Land and Improvements.
5. Financing Statements. Pursuant to the UCC, Trustor, as debtor, hereby authorizes
Beneficiary, as secured party, to file such financing statements and amendments thereof and such
continuation statements with respect thereto as Beneficiary may deem appropriate to perfect and
preserve Beneficiary's security interest in the Property and Rents, without requiring any signature
or further authorization by Trustor. If requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay all fees and
costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such
record searches as Beneficiary may r~°asonably require. If any financing statement or other
document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall not be
construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or
obligations of the parties under it.
Everything used in connection with tlhe Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is
described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all
proceedings both legal or equitable shall be regarded as part of the estate encumbered by this
Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the
Improvements, (ii) serial numbers arf; used for the better identification of certain equipment
items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with
Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so
filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement of (1) rights in or to the
proceeds of any fire and/or hazard in:>urance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain
proceedings for a taking or for lessening of value, or (3) Trustor's interest as lessor in any present
1246546-2 ~
-43-
or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the property
conveyed hereby, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall not be construed as in any way
altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this instrument or impugning the
priority of Beneficiary's lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document. Such mention
in any financing statement is declared to be solely for the protection of Beneficiary in the event
any court or judge shall at any time hold, with respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing
clauses (1), (2), and (3), that notice of Beneficiary's priority of interest is required in order to be
effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to the federal government
and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government.
6. Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust is intended to be and constitutes a fixture filing
pursuant to the provisions of the UCC with respect to all of the Property constituting fixtures, is
being recorded as a fixture financing statement and filing under the UCC, and covers property,
goods and equipment which are or are to become fixtures related to the Land and the
Improvements. Trustor covenants and agrees that this Deed of Trust is to be filed in the real
estate records of San Mateo County and shall also operate from the date of such filing as a
fixture filing in accordance with Section 9502 and other applicable provisions of the UCC. This
Deed of Trust shall also be effective as a financing statement covering minerals or the like
(including oil and gas) and accounts subject to the UCC, as amended. Trustor shall be deemed to
