The site is bounded on the north by Santa Ana Boulevard, on the west by Broadway, on the south by Fifth Street and on the east by Sycamore. He then requested staff to identify the property or issues and give staff recommendation. Mr. Tom Hammill, the Agency's Real Estate Officer, reported that the development is bounded on the north by Santa Ana Boulevard, on the west by Broadway, on the south by Fifth Street and on the east by Sycamore. The development site consists of five parcels. One parcel is improved with a one story building currently used for offices and a garage, and a small lock and key shop located at Fifth and Broadway. The remaining four parcels are used for surface parking. The development will consist of a 73,000 square foot, five story commercial/office structure with subterranean parking of approximately 140 spaces. The anticipated ground floor uses include a savings and loan operation and commercial/service retail uses. The upper floors will contain general purpose office space to be occupied by the Redeveloper. A plaza area will be constructed consisting of approximately 50 percent of the site. The total development cost is approximately $5,000,000. Î . The Chairman asked staff if there were any written communications. There were none. The Chairman then requested to hear from the public. There was no response. The Chairman then asked if the Agency members had any questions of staff. Agency member Yamamoto expressed concern that a parking lot would be taken away and there would be a shortage of parking. Staff responded that when the building goes into construction, there will be a temporary shortage of parking for approximately four to five months. . Agency member Serrato brought up a question of commercial versus professional use developments in this area. The Executive Director stated that one of the major considerations given to this development was how it would blend in with the Old Courthouse, First Presbyterian Church and Masonic Temple because of the sensitive nature of the site. The development should have enough open space to protect and blend in with the other buildings. He further explained that if the development were strictly commercial, the chances would be that you could only attract 20-to-25,000 square feet of commercial which would mean that the development would have to put much of the site into surface parking, plus, staff felt that the emphasis, in terms of development, would be more office. The Chairman closed the public hearing.
