D CUSSION OF Executive Director Birkelo stated that in a prior meeting
SOUTH AIRPORT there were very brief comments about the Board's willing-
BLVD. REDEVEL- ness to consider the possibility of initiating the rede-
OPMENT PROJECT: velopment project of the South Airport Boulevard area
adjacent to our Water Quality Control Plant and the Price
Club, and more specifically, with relationship to the fact
that the adjacent property, the Pyramid holding, are up on
the market now for long term leasing. In connection with
that, the report that has been prepared for you suggests the
possibility that if such project were to be done, you might
want to include the fingers area of %he Water Quality Plant
in it so that this becomes a study area as well for possible
future use. In that connection, Mr. Simms has been invited
to appear before you tonight to present suggested possible
use of the property by his firm that he thinks will be of
some value to the City. Phil Gorny has prepared the report
and will give a brief outline of the significant things that
he found in his analysis.
Phil Gorny: Staff recommends that the City Council/
Redevelopment Agency direct the staff to prepare the
necessary documents designating the survey area for
consideration for redevelopment. The target area and the
survey area range from about 35 acres to considerably less
than an acre and the area covers approximately 68 acres.
There are several different general plan and zoning
.... classifications, planned industrial, sit commercial, and
open space area of the Bay and portions of fingers. The net
assessed value of all properties is approximately $7.2
million and out of the $72,000 that are generated in taxes,
the City receives approximately $13,000. The general char-
acteristics of the area is mixed uses, mixed zoning
districts, mixed general plan classifications, and building
and improvements that vary to a degree of age and
visibility; some of the land is vacant.
After discussion of the report, Mr. Robert E. Simms,
President, Trux Transport, Inc., presented his proposal.
Mr. Simms: I would like to start by stating that I have
been working with staff for approximately three years with a
proposal to develop the fingers that are on the east side of
your Sewage Plant. We received a Use Permit to develop our
property three years ago immediately began to make effort to
approach the City as to what might be done to this property.
What we discovered is that, because the fingers stick out
and are located in the water and because they are so narrow
no development would be permitted unless all the
requirements of BCDC are met. Our proposal is to put a
parking lot on the property; it would provide open space,
generate revenue and there will be no need for a permit
change. It is also fit within the guidelines of BCDC.
Mr. Simms presented an outline of projected tax and rental
income and the easement problem for access to the City's
property was discussed.
Staff was directed to schedule this item for a future study
session and the City Attorney was requested to have
information for the City Council with respect to the dispute
over the access, easements, etc.
UPDATE ON This item was discussed in closed session.
