ITEM NO.4 - REPORT AGENCY-OWNED PARCEL AT BAY BOULEVARD AND "F" STREET
Community Development Director Desrochers stated that the Atlas Hote 1 s
Corporation requested a three year wait to build Crystal's Diner. He coul d
not recommend keepi ng the same arrangements that they have had to ho 1 d that
property off the market. He recommended the services of a real estate broker
under an exclusive brokerage arrangement and to develop a marketing program
with the brokerage community for the development of the parcel.
Member Malcolm stated the price should be reexamined and Community Development
Director Desrochers stated we could not stay on with Atlas below the market
price since an agreed upon price of less than $1,000 per month would not be
good business sense. He stated there are other restaurants and developers in
the area that would put in as good a quality as Crystal's. Member Scott asked
if the Atlas Hotels people requested better terms and Community Development
Director Desrochers stated they had been contacted and also stated that if
they couldn't get the same terms as before they would relinquish their
option.
MOTI ON TO ACCEPT REPORT
MSUC (Scott/Malcolm) to accept report.
ITEM NO.5 - REPORT: LOCAL COASTAL PLAN
Community Deve 1 opment Di rector Desrochers di scussed a 1 etter from the Chai rman
of the Agency to the Unified Port District which he read to Mr. Nay and
discussed with him. He stated it wou 1 d be read to the Commissioners. He
explained the concept behind the letter and asked approval of this letter in
order to place it on the agenda for the next meeting by the time Mr. Creaser
is back.
Mr. Desrochers continued that the focus involved is on the "D" Street fi 11
area and the Redevelopment Agency has not had too much luck with the Port
District in the last couple of months because they felt we were not aware of
their boundaries and their needs. Now that we have the April 26 decision
support i ng Ca lTrans to have a 1 east tern sanctuary and "D" Street fi 11, our
consultants have attempted to see how the area could be planned, taking into
consideration the dividing 1 i ne and the fact that residential construction
can't be put on Port District property, He added that the Port District isn't
going to have any financial involvement in the "D" Street building.
Commercial land uses are envisioned on the fi 11; a street to divide
residential from commercial users; a yacht basin; and boat repair facility.
There is, however, no market for heavy industrial and major shipping
activities on thi s fi 11. Counci lman Moore stated that he was enthusiastic
over the marina concept.
Community Development Director Desrochers stated the Kettenberg Marina type of
facility will be provi ded at the foot of "G" Street and the Redevelopment
Agency has favored this land use.

MEMBERS' COMMENTS
a. The use of beach area for the Bayfront was di scussed: this is the only
natural beach in the area and it should be saved as such for the citizens
of Chul a Vi sta. Member Moore suggested it would have to be a joint
effort with the Port District. Council feels a heavy duty use would not
be appropri ate; Counci 1 cou 1 d enact a change of pol icy on beach site
usage. Would Council feel this is worth pursuing and then go to the Port
District?
