RESOLUTION OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE LONG-RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIRED UNDER HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 34191.5 EXCEPT THAT PORTION OF THE PLAN THAT ADDRESSES PARKING LOT PARCELS B. RESOLUTION OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THAT PORTION OF THE LONG- RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIRED UNDER HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 34191.5 THAT ADDRESSES PARKING LOT PARCELS p.~y~ SUBMITTED BY: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER ASSISTANT CIT MANAGER 4/STHS VOTE: YES NO X SUMMARY Health and Safety Code section 34191.5 requires Successor Agencies to prepare along-Range Property Management Plan within six months of receiving the Finding of Completion from the Department of Finance. The Successor Agency received its Finding of Completion on May 7, 2013. The Successor Agency is required to submit the Long-Range Property Management Plan, for approval to the Oversight Board and Department of Finance that addresses the disposition and use of the real properties of the former redevelopment agency. The Successor Agency is recommending that three (3) of the 23 parcels owned by the former Redevelopment Agency be sold and that the remaining parcels be maintained for government use as more fully described below. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a 16-1 Item No.:~_ Meeting Date: June 11, 2013 Page 2 of 5 "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed action consists of a governmental administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. RECOMMENDATION That the Successor Agency approves the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION None DISCUSSION Assembly Bills 1X 26 and 1484 ("Dissolution Act") includes many requirements for the dissolution of redevelopment agency activities, including the disposition of real property, other than housing assets. The Dissolution Act generally requires the Successor Agency to dispose of assets and property of the former redevelopment agency for either 1) limited public uses or 2) disposition into the private market. Disposition is to occur expeditiously and with a view toward maximizing value, with the disposition proceeds distributed to the affected taxing entities. Disposition Process The Dissolution Act allows certain flexibility and local benefits in connection with property disposition for a Successor Agency that has received a Department of Finance ("DOF") Finding of Completion. The Successor Agency received its Finding of Completion May 7, 2013 after having completed the following: 1. Submitted Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules to DOF per the statutory deadlines and received determinations for each one 2. Paid the amount required through the July 2012 True-Up Process 3. Submitted the Low Moderate Income Housing Fund Due Diligence Review ("LMIHF DDR") on October 12, 2012 and received final determination from DOF on November 7, 2012 requesting a balance of $1,030,224. This amount was remitted November 14, 2012 which concluded the LMIHF DDR process with DOF. 4. Submitted the Other Funds and Accounts Due Diligence Review ("OFA DDR") and was ultimately notified on May 2, 2013 that the initial request from DOF of $20,179,716 was withdrawn (and resulted in no funds being due) after Successor Agency staff provided additional information and documentation and attended a Meet and Confer with DOF staff. With the DOF's final determination as to no amounts being due, the OFA DDR process with DOF was completed. This work, which included two audits, continuous review and requests for supporting documentation by DOF, two Meet and Confer conferences in Sacramento, one Meet and Confer telephone conference and countless hours of work by Successor Agency staff was completed in a timely manner and resulted in the issuance of the Finding of Completion. Within six months after receipt of the Finding of Completion, the Successor Agency must prepare and submit along-Range Property Management Plan ("LRPMP") approved by the Oversight Board to DOF. Once an approved LRPMP is in place, it governs and supersedes all 16-2 Item No.: ~~ Meeting Date: June 11, 2013 Page 3 of 5 other provisions of the Dissolution Act relating to the disposition and use of real property assets of the former redevelopment agency. After the DOF issues a Finding of Completion and approves the LRPMP, the Successor Agency must transfer all real property, interests in real property, and physical assets (other than those that may be the subject of an existing enforceable obligation or property deemed to be housing assets or assets constructed and used for goverrunental purpose) to the Community Redevelopment Property Trust Fund ("Trust Fund"). The Trust Fund is to be administered by the Successor Agency according to the LRPMP and serves as the repository for all properties and property interests covered by the LRPMP. The LRPMP is required to do all of the following: 1. Include an inventory of all properties in the Community Redevelopment Property Trust Fund, which was established to serve as the repository of the former redevelopment agency's real properties. The inventory shall consist of all the following information: a. Date of the acquisition of the property and the value of the property at that time and an estimate of the current value of the property b. Purpose for which the property was acquired a Parcel data, including address, lot size and current zoning in the former agency redevelopment plan or specific, community or general plan d. Estimate of the current value of the parcel including, if available, any appraisal information e. Estimate of any lease, rental or any other revenues generated by the property, and a description of the contractual requirements for the disposition of those funds f History of any environmental contamination, including designation as a brownfield site, any related environmental studies, and history of any remediation efforts g. Description of the property's potential for transit-oriented development and the advancement of the planning objectives of the successor agency h. Brief history of previous development proposals and activity, including rental or lease of property 2. Address the use or disposition of all of the properties in the Community Redevelopment Property Trust Fund. Permissible uses include: 1) the retention of the property for governmental use pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 34181; 2) the retention of the property for future development; 3) the sale of the property; or 4) the use of the property to fulfill an enforceable obligation. The plan shall sepazately identify and list properties in the trust dedicated to governmental use purposes and properties retained for purposes of fulfilling an enforceable obligation. With respect to the use or disposition of all other properties, all of the following shall apply: a. If the plan directs the use or liquidation of the property for a project identified in an approved redevelopment plan, the property shall transfer to the city, county, or city and county. b. If the plan directs the liquidation of the property or the use of revenues generated from the property, such as lease or parking revenues, for any purpose other than to fulfill an enforceable obligation or other than that specified in the bullet directly 16-3 Item No.•~ Meeting Date: June 11, 2013 Page 4 of 5 above, the proceeds from the sale shall be distributed as property tax to the taxing entities. c. Property shall not be transferred to a successor agency, city, county, or city and county, unless the LRPMP has been approved by the Oversight Board and DOF. A LRPMP Property Inventory Data Worksheet (Attachment A) has been prepazed and will be submitted to the DOF as the LRPMP. A summary of the 23 pazcels owned by the former redevelopment agency is included below. Property Type # of Parcels Proposed Use/ Dis ositlon # of Parcels Vacant 7 Sale of Pro e 3 Park 3 Governmental Use 20 Parkin Lot 13 TOTAL 23 TOTAL 23 Vacant-Development Parcels (3 parcels) One parcel located on the comer of Third Avenue and E Street is identified as 201 Third Avenue and is zoned to allow a mixed use development on the site. Staff is recommending that this parcel be sold. Two other parcels located in the Bayfront Master Plan azea west of Interstate 5 and adjacent to the Discovery Center Parking lot aze zoned to allow up to 120,000 squaze feet of commercial/office development on the site. The Successor Agency has received an offer to purchase these two parcels, based on an appraisal prepared in April 2013 by an MAI appraiser. Staff is recommending that these two parcels be sold. Vacant-Open Space Preserve Parcels (4 pazcels) The four vacant parcels aze all designated as Open Space Preserve. Three of the parcels are located within the Bayfront Master Plan area aze recommended to be transferred to State of California and administered under the Trust for Public Lands by the Port of San Diego. The remaining parcel is located in Otay Valley Regional Park, and we would recommend the Successor Agency maintain ownership of this site as this site is contaminated and the liability should not be transferred to the City. Park-Memorial Park (1 parcell The one pazce] is designated as pazk land and is part of Memorial Pazk and contains the City's Historical Museum. This parcel is located at 360 Third Avenue. It is recommended that this be transferred to the City to be maintained as a park. Pazk-Bay Boulevard Park (2 parcels) These two parcels that aze designated as park land are part of Bay Boulevard Pazk. These are located at 999 F Street. It is recommended that these be transferred to the City to be maintained as a park. Government Use Pazking Lots (13 parcels) The majority of pazcels owned by the former redevelopment agency are utilized as public pazking lots, and some of those pazcels are adjacent to City-owned pazcels that together comprise 16-4 Item No.:~ Meeting Date: June 11, 2013 Page 5 of 5 one public parking lot. For example, lot 8 (North of F Street on Church Avenue) is comprised of 4 parcels. Two parcels are owned by the former redevelopment agency and two parcels are owned by the City. Staff is recommending that any pazcel currently used as a public parking lot be maintained for governmental use as public pazking. It is important to note that the State of California has limited the definition of governmental use to exclude public parking lots not associated with a public building (e.g. City Hall, Police State, and Library). The State has indicated that it will require Successor Agencies to sell public parking lots unless it can be proven that these assets were purchased with restricted funds. Our review of the purchase history for those parcels indicates that restricted funds were not used. However, our recommendation is based upon the premise that public pazking lots should be included in the definition of governmental use. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICTS: Property within 500 feet: Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that Councilperson Mary Salas has property holdings within 500 feet of the parking lot pazcels which are the subject of this action. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to General Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no on-going fiscal impact as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS A.
