RED CORNER OF ROOSEVELT STREET AND CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE RECOMMENDED ACTION: If Housing and Redevelopment Commission concurs, your action is to adopt Resolution No. 169 , approving a lease, with purchase option, between the City Housing and Redevelopment Commission and Ms. Louise Williams, conservator/owner of the property located at 2970, 76 and 92 Roosevelt Street and 630, 632 Carlsbad Village Drive. I ITEM EXPI ANATION: At your meeting of April 24, 1990, the Commission authorired staff to negotiate a lease/purchase agreement with Ms. Louise Williams conservator/owner of the property located at the northeast corner of Roosevelt Street and Carlsbad Village Drive. The lot will be used to increase parking in the Village area as part of the Carlsbad Boulevard/Carlsbad Village Drive Streetscape. The lease term will be for five years with monthly lease payments of $4,350 for a total annual cost of $52,200. At the end of the lease term or upon change of ownership title, the Commission may purchase the property. The Commission authorized staff to negotiate a purchase price based on an appraised value of $37.00 per square foot for a total of $647,500. There are currently unusable structures located on the property. The seller is requesting $37.50 per square foot ($656,250 total) if they are responsible for complete lot clearing. The Commission’s options are: 1. Agree to a purchase price of $656,250 ($37.50 per square foot) with the seller responsible for removal of all improvements existing on the property prior to the commencement of the lease. 2. Agree to a purchase price of $647,500 ($37.00 per square foot) with the City assuming surface clearing of the lot following a controlled burn of the structures by the Fire Department. The lot is 17,500 square feet. Preliminary estimates by the City’s traffic consultant are that the lot will accommodate 60 parking spaces. The cost estimate for improving the site is $250,000. Total cost for the five year lease, construction of improvements and purchase is $1,167,250. AGENDA BILL NO. 158 PAGE 2 Lease payments for the remainder of this fiscal year can be funded by the Redevelopment operating budget and will begin upon commencement of the lease. Annual lease payments for the remainder of the five year term would be included in the Redevelopment operating budget. Construction costs of $250,000 would come from the Redevelopment Bond Issue ($198,000) and the Redevelopment 1989-90 operating budget ($52,000). Funding for the purchase will be considered at the time the City exercises the purchase opt i on ; on or before the end of the five year term. FISCAL IMPACT: Of the $10.39 million in proceeds from the Tax Allocation Bond Issue, $1.5 million was allocated by the Commission for parking in the Village. Three (3) parking lots have been constructed leaving approximately $198,000 unencumbered. These funds ($198,000) together with $52,000 from the current fiscal Redevelopment operating budget will be used for the $250,000 construction costs. Lease payments of $4,350 per month for the remainder of this fiscal year will be paid from the Redevelopment operating budget and will begin upon commencement of the lease. Lease payments for the remainder of the five years lease will be added to Redevelopment’s annual operating budget; $52,200 annually for a cumulative total of $261,000. Purchase cost at the time the City exercises the purchase option will be $656,250. At time of purchase, funds will be paid either from the Redevelopment fund balance or a loan to the Agency from the City. Purchase of the property will be added to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and specific funding source will be considered with the CIP. The Agency currently owes the City approximately $5.9 million with no repayment schedule. Annual Tax Increment revenue is currently used to debt service the Bond Issue and funds the current operating budget. Tax increment funds will not be sufficient to cover full operating budget costs for the 1990-91 FY. The point where tax increment will fund both debt service and the operating budget is 1996-97. The Streetscape Program funded by proceeds from the Bond Issue is not complete. Proceeds were $10.39 million; projected costs for the Streetscape completion, Parking Program and Senior Center are $10.95 million. This leaves a deficit of $560,000 which will need to be funded by a loan to the Agency or from the Redevelopment fund balance. Phase V (Carlsbad Village Drive) of the Streetscape is projected to be started late 1990 at which time the Commission will need to consider funding. - AGENDA BILL NO. 158 PAGE 3 EXHIBITS: 1.
