SUBJECT: Donation - Shape11 Sales Office
Background
Shapell Industries has indicated that they wish to donate their real eastate sales office at Levante and El Carnino Real to the City. The building is octagon-shaped and is approximately 2000 square feet. The donation is contingent on the City paying all relocation costs, and finding a suitable site for the building.
Recommendat ion
It is recommended that the City accept the Shapell sales office donation, relocate the building to the Levante School/Park site at Romeria and Levante Avenue, and prepare an agreement between the City and the Encinitas Union School District for use of the site.
Analysis/Discussion
Staff reviewed several sites in south Carlsbad, and Levante School/Park and Alga Hills Park were the two sites considered most feasible for relocation. Alga Hills was found to be unsuitable because of general topography and accessibility. In addition, the movers indicated that the building could not be successfully moved t:o Alga Hills intact.
Staff feels that Levant:e School/Park is the most economical and desirable site in the area. Since Levante belongs to the Encinitas Union School District, it was necessary to obtain permission from the school distirct to relocate the building to the site. The school district is agreeable to the proposal, with the condition that: the building meet all applicable building codes. The school district will also require an agreement that releases them from liability in connection with the building and any of its activities.
The department has contacted the Building Department. The building is presently on piers, and they have recommended that a permanent foundation be constructed around the entire perimeter of the building. City building standards and codes. These improvement will meet the
