Ready, City Manager BY: Community& Economic Development Department SUMMARY It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution expressing the intent to sell and setting the date to hold a public hearing for the sale of a City-owned 26,172 square feet parcel with building located at 4810 Camino Parocela, the former City- owned Animal Shelter. In October, 2011 the City opened a new animal shelter at another site, leaving the property vacant and unused. RECOMMENDATION: 1. SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SALE OF CITY-OWNED REAL PROPERTY TO MICHAEL S. HOFFMAN, AS TRUSTEE OF THE MICHAEL S. HOFFMAN LIVING TRUST, U/A DATED 08/04/94, FOR CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY CONSISTING OF 26,172 SQUARE FEET OF LAND AREA LOCATED 102.58 FEET WEST OF GENE AUTRY TRAIL (4810 CAMINO PAROCELA), APNs: (690-101-032 and 680-101-033) ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 STAFF ANALYSIS: In November 2011 the City of Palm Springs received an offer from Michael S. Hoffman, as Trustee of The Michael S. Hoffman Living Trust, U/A Dated 08/04/94 (`Buyer") on a ITEM NO. 2.AA, City Council Staff Report September 5, 2012-- Page 2 Hoffman Purchase and Sale— Public Hearing Date City-owned 26,172 square feet parcel with building, located 102.58 feet west of Gene Autry Trail on the north side of Camino Parocela (4810 Camino Parocela), the former City-owned Animal Shelter. Mr. Hoffman is the owner of the adjacent properties and intends to assemble the properties into a larger, developable site which will greatly benefit that high-profile corner. Council directed Staff to bring an Agreement for Purchase and Sale back at a regularly scheduled meeting. Staff received an appraisal in February, 2012 from Scott Lidgard of Lidgard & Associates, appraisers. California Government Code Section 37421 et. seq. requires that the City first set a date of the public hearing at which the public may make testimony regarding the sale. This resolution sets the Public Hearing date for September 19, 2012. This action is part of a three-step process in selling City-owned parcels: (1) Council directs the negotiator as to price and terms in Closed Session; (2) Council adopts a resolution expressing its intention to sell the property and setting the date of the Public Hearing, and the City publishes a notice of Public Hearing; and (3) Council approves the Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property, as well as a resolution accepting the terms of the sale. The attached resolution is Step 2 in this process. In addition, the Planning Commission shall review the proposed sale to make a determination of General Plan consistency. The price for the property of $140,000 meets the fair market value standard and the process meets the requirements of City Council Resolution 14527, which requires that the City sell all land at fair market value. The sale of this parcel meets the other tests of Resolution 14527: 1. There is no foreseeable present or future use of the property for City purposes. 2. The property cannot be leased or rented for its highest and best use at fair market rental. 3. The City's need for immediate liquidation, for cash, of such property -- at its fair market value -- is greater than its need for developing continuing revenue for the lease of uch property.
