Economic & Community Development Coordinator Mc Cue gave a brief staff report on the El Camino Corridor items. Boardmember Yee Arrived: Boardmember Yee arrived at the podium at 7:10 p.m. Boardmember Penna Left the Podium: Boardmember Penna excused himself from the podium due to a conflict of interest at 7:10 p.m. Mr. Lou Dell'Angela, Consultant, stated he was representing Mr. and Mrs. Delgrande who are the property owners of 1/2 acre of land on the west side of Mission Rd., just opposite Evergreen Drive. He proceeded to cite his clients' concerns over the proposed project area: Section 3.a3 deals with the Master Developer which was a new concept to this City, contrary to the other two redevelopment plans; what was the purpose of this master developer be- cause it puts small property owners in an unfavor- able position i developing their own property; the redevelopment plan gives the Agency the right to say who develops properties in the project area - which puts the property owner in a very bad posi- tion in negotiating to sell his property, and was not being treated fairly. He continued: Section 3.b5 has a penalty clause for a property owner not signing an owner partici- pation agreement and he loses privileges the plan contains - which he did not feel was fair; it is the BART people who are proposing the project, and Mr. Delgrande's property is proposed to be ac- quired for the BART station, as well as the Cunco property and others to the west; if this plan was adopted you are saying to Mr. Delgrande that he can not develop his property, that BART is the only logical developer and therefor has to wait until BART negotiates for his property; the master devel- oper concept is very threatening and opens up abus- es as to who is going to develop property and who is not apart from what the owners want to do. He stated that specific direction was needed from the Agency and Council as to what was going to hap- pen. He related that in telephone conversations with BART last week they had stated that the acquisitions will come during the final design of the BART 4/14/93 Page 2 AGENDA ACTI_.ON TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Resolution - Continued. Project, which is two and one-half years minimum away, and potentially longer if the project is stalled. He stated that they were not even into preliminary plans, and once that takes place it is going to be 18 months and then get final plan approval; and only 60% of the way through the final plan can they go out and acquire property. He stated that his client's property was zoned to allow apartments, commercial and a variety of uses, where he could potentially go and sell or develop- ment it himself. He stated that if the document and the redevelopment plan was approved, then Mr. Delgrande would be stuck sitting on his vacant piece of property for two and one-half to three or more years. He stated that he did not feel that was right and felt the Agency should deal with the owners that are in this position and get money allocated in some form, so the owners could be negotiated with and the properties purchased soon or allow some sort of development rights clarified; and BART has to take its chances down the road. He felt that this document was best left for when the redevelopment document was considered next month as a whole package, and take the time to look at this particular problem and work out a fair and reason- able solution for the property owners. Discussion followed: Mr. Delgrande's property was within the City limits; there was nothing in the document that precluded Mr. Delgrande from selling the property now; what was the problem, and why the fear, etc. Mr. Dell'Angela related: the understanding was that BART could not acquire the property for several years; suppose Mr. Delgrande gets an offer for the property to zone for uses up to 30 units per acre and an application goes to the Planning Commission; in the interim the Agency adopts the plan and the amendments are in place that show a BART station; can the Planning Commission approve the project on Mr. Delgrande's property knowing what it knows about the BART station; was there going to be a problem for his client; is the Council going to allow development before BART gets around to acquiring property for the station; is staff going to raise the issue of general plan consistency because 4/14/93 Page 3 I l~ AGENDA _A C_ I!Q_N TAKEN .

Boardmember Drago felt it was incumbent on BART to make their move now because later the property would be more valuable, because this would enhance the value of the whole area. Mr. Dell'Angela stated that this property would stay the same so there was no advantage for the Delgrande property nor to a lender that knew this property was going to be acquired by BART in three years. He reiterated his earlier concerns and urged the Agency to have conversations with BART to get some early action. Boardmember Yee stated he wanted to postpone item No. 5 because if this was in place then any project would have to meet the general plan, and before voting on that item he wanted input from the Attorney and others as it was a very important decision.
