INCREASED PARKING DEVELOPMENT - CBD BLOCK 2 Redevelopment Director reviewed his report, dated June 18, 1980, and recommended approving concept to acquire vacant property between Amado/Alejo/Palm Canyon and Belardo, leading toward the ultimate development of 45 parking spaces. He stated that the Downtown Development Advisory Commission has recommended that there be no improvements of the property until a driveway between Palm Canyon and Belardo can be obtained. He stated that there are no proposals to utilize eminent domain proceedings to obtain the property. Resolution 100 was presented, entitled: OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONCEPT TO ACQUIRE LAND FOR PARKING IN 400 ' BLOCK OF NORTH BELARDO ROAD. It was moved by Beirich, seconded by Rose, and unani- mously carried, that Resolution 100 be adopted. 2. DESERT PLAZA PARTNERSHIP - OWNER PARTICIPATION AGR #2 Redevelopment Director reviewed his report, dated June 18, 1980, outlining proposal relating to expanded development with underground parking, funding for 80 spaces in the new parking facility to satisfy the McCallum Civic Building parking deficiency, and condi- tions relative to a land assembly for a major depart- ment store development and other compatible uses. He stated that if the sale of the McCallum Building results in uses requiring less than the 80 spaces, the Agency would still be committed to the developer to fund the 80 spaces, any excess spaces could be credited toward another project, or if the 80 spaces are not sufficient for the resulting use, either an in-lieu payment would be required or parking would have to be acquired within 300 feet. In answer to question by the Agency, Redevelopment Director stated that four property owners are involved in the land assembly, and if it cannot be acquired through negotiations, then condemnation proceedings would be instigated; that the developer cannot begin spending money for physical improvements unless the Agency commits to assist in the land assembly; that the Agency's power of eminent domain would be used provided a project which is financially feasible and acceptable to the City and Planning Commission is submitted. 140 0 CRA Minutes 6-18-80 Page 2 2. DESERT PLAZA PARTNERSHIP (Continued) Executive Director noted that staff is seeking direction from the Agency whether it would be agreeable to using eminent domain to acquire the property, and if so, to direct staff to develop an owner participation agreement for review which would specify the conditions under which it would be appropriate for that action to take place; and that condemnation proceedings would involve the Agency and City Council at a number of steps. Councilman Rose stated that care must be taken when considering taking property of someone who does not want to sell it; that such resistance must take second place to the overall betterment of the com- munity; and that the subject project is of sufficient worth and betterment to the community, that he would support providing direction to the staff to begin moving in that direction. He stated that relative to the 80 parking spaces for the McCallum Building, he had difficulty supporting a proposal which allows parking to be created two blocks awary which will not directly attack the problem, and may create a greater or more severe problem. Councilman Beirich stated that he agreed the parking proposal was not the ultimate solution to the problem, however, did not see the long-term difficulties posed by Councilman Rose; and that he supported the overall recommendation, including the land assembly. City Manager stated that one advantage of the parking proposal is to facilitate the sale of the McCallum Building, which could net an estimated $800,000 after deducting the estimated $200,000 parking cost, which could be used for additional parking in the downtown area if that is still a concern. Mayor stated that the proposal does attempt to address the issue of parking deficiency in the downtown area. Resolution 101 was presented, entitled: OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING STAFF TO PREPARE OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #2 WITH DESERT PLAZA PARTNERSHIP TO PROVIDE 80 PARKING SPACES AND COMMIT THE CRA TO ASSIST IN THE ASSEMBLY OF LAND.
