in April of 2012, the economy was stronger in 2013 and also departments made

65D. THIRD AND BROADWAY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT UPDATE AND
COUNCIL AD HOC COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION {STRATEGIC PLAN
NO. 3, 5A) — City Attorney's Office
Mayor Pulido, noted that Ad Hoc Committee has met and provided
recommendations.
Councilmember Solorio, noted that recommendations are reasonable to
continue dialogue with developer.
City Attorney Carvalho, indicated that recommendation was to implement the
recommendation of the Ad Hoc committee which is to enter into an Exclusive
Negotiation Agreement (ENA) and continue with due diligence; if Council
approved option 1 would return with ENA for approval, otherwise will be on hold
until formal action taken by majority of the City Council; option 2 is to bring a
development agreement for consideration or option 3 is to approve the
resolution as proposed by the developer.
Councilmember Solorio, seconded by Mayor Pulido motion to approve option 1
to prepare an ENA for City Council consideration.
The following spoke on the matter:
• Gilad Salmon, opposed to the project in its entirety; provided background,
proposed open space or affordable housing at location.
• John Spiak, spoke on behalf of Grand Central Art Center; concerned with
limited parking in the area.
• Hugo Munoz, echoed sentiments and concerns expressed earlier.
Council discussion ensued.
Councilmember Solorio, asked about parking.
Executive Director of Planning and Building Haghani, indicated that developer is
proposing to replace public parking and will allow for tenant parking.
City Attorney Carvalho, mentioned that ENA would address some questions and
scope of development and allow City to be on track; provisions may include a
reimbursement element that would need to be replenished as needed.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 27 FEBRUARY 21, 2017
1 OA -27
Councilmember Benavides, commented that project has been many years in the
making; need to bring to resolution.
Mayor Pulido, will need to continue Ad Hoc committee.
Councilmember Tinajero, asked if developer was selling property, opposed to
giving public land since developer has not delivered on other projects; developer
was supposed to pay for election costs associated with One Broadway
Referendum Election; does not support ENA.
Councilmember Sarmiento, stated that said project was supposed to be a
priority, thorough procurement process lacking; need to have specific direction
by the City Council; requested developer's financial information; Ad Hoc
Committee should request and validate financial information, but not ENA.
Mayor Pro Tern Martinez, concerned with process; supports a community
benefit agreement; supports starting process over.
Mayor Pulido, concluded that ENA would be for specified information and will
bring financial information for City Council consideration; supports moving
forward with developer.
Councilmember Sarmiento presented substitute motioned, seconded by
Councilmember Tinajero to enter into negotiations with Mr. Harrah or any other
developer wiling to propose a project that is financially viable.
Councilmember Benavides, asked difference between ENA and other type of
agreement.
City Attorney Carvalho, stated that ENA may include a reimbursement
component that the City could draw from for expenses such as environmental
analysis; will demonstrate commitment to develop site if approved.
Councilmember Solorio, explained why he would not support substitute motion,
ENA would be for a finite period and City may restart process; noted that
Santora Building, Original Mike's, OCSART, Masonic Temple and other projects
have been successfully developed.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Enter into negotiations with Mr. Harrah or any
other developer willing to propose a project that is financially viable.
