PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE HOMART DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY FOR THE EXPANSION AND RENOVATION
OF THE CHULA VISTA SHOPPING CENTER
The Council and Agency have held several joint workshops on the
proposed DDA in the past several months to discuss major issues of
content ion between the City and Homar t Development Company. The
DDA which is submitted to the Council/Agency this evening
represents the culmination of the negotiating process and the
resolution of all of the outstanding issues with the exception of
the disposition of the Boys' Club property. Several options for
the Boys Club are included in the DDA including immediate
disposition and demolition, or temporary continuance until a
fourth department store is secured.
Community Development Director Desrochers submitted the Rider
the Town Centre II Disposition and Development Agreement.

1.
As provided in Attachment 13, the Agency is to choose by May
5,1987 between (a) a $500,000 contribution to be made by
Redeveloper, or (b) the City/Agency's retaining the Boys
Club. It is an either/or choice.
Director Desrochers referred to his memo dated April 28 in which
he noted the cost of bringing the Boys' Club up to standard
approximately $640,000. Staff has not heard from the Boys' Club;
no report has been forthcoming from them except a newspaper
article whereby they were quoted as stating they could financially
operate this facility.

Mr. Lonnie Thomas, President of the Boys'/Girls' Club, 660
Telegraph Canyon Road, Chula Vista, submitted budgetary figures
noting it does not include the day care program at "L" Street,
they were specifically looking at the existing programs, the
revenue from those programs and the revenues from future fund
raisers. As to the United Way contribution of $25,000, Mr. Thomas
indicated they may get $35,000 this next year. If the $25,000 was
not forthcoming, the Boys' Club would have to hold future fund
raisers to make up this difference.
Member Malcolm stated he wants to be sure that the Boys' Club is
kept but felt they would get a better deal by relocating the Club
within a block or so of their present facility. Staff is stating
that over $600,000 would have to be spent to bring the Boys' Club
up to standard and having the Boys' Club relocated at a Chula
Vista High school ground would be a much better location, noting
that the students could have the use of their field for their
soccer games and other outdoor activities.
Director Desrochers agreed stating staff feels it would be better
to relocate the facility using Homart funds and Community Block
Grant Funds.
In answer to Member Malcolm's question, Mr. Thomas stated that the
facility would not be just a Boys Club, it would be a Girls and
Boys Club facility.
Chairman Cox commented that an alternative is to allow the
bu ilding to remain and the developer bui Id around it; however the
$643,000 needed to bring the facility up to Code is a lot of
money. He is committed to a worthwhile facility which would serve
the entire community and not just the Boys Club. Chairman Cox
added he would like to see a multi-use facility developed whereby
other organizations could use it such as the YMCA, the adult
schools, jazzercise classes, etc.
Member Malcolm remarked that before any action is taken by the
Agency to have this facility move, a site should be picked out.
Agency discussion followed regarding the: facility on Oleander
Street; give the Girls and Boys Club the first call for the
programs at the new facility; concern that they would not be able
to meet the financial commitment to operate the facility; if the
Clubhouse remains at its present site it must blend in with
Homart's renovation plans for the Shopping Center; the
Redevelopers will begin construction this August and need Council'
direction; noted the Boys Club already has a number of
organizations using their facili ty such as Alcoholics Anonymous
which meet on saturday mornings and questioned whether the schools
would allow this organization to meet on their property.

MSC (Malcolm/McCandliss) to direct staff to meet with the school
districts to see if adequate room can be found for a new facility
for the new facility taking into consideration the parking and the
playground for a joint facility usage that can be obtained in one
of the two sites mentioned by staff earlier (school sites). This
report to come to the Agency before May 5.
Mr. Tom Gourgeuchon, representing Homart stated that the
Redevelopers have made many assumptions on the use of that Boys
Club site, such as using it as a major entryway into the mall and
for parking purposes.
Member Nader asked whether the motion could leave the staff with
some flexibility such as the underlying ownership of the land and
who would have title to the building. City Manager Goss noted
staff would just be able to get a commitment from the school
people if the School Board cannot meet in that timeframe.
Mr. George Carney, 555 Naples St reet, Chula Vi sta, asked that
Council not "blow" the renovation of the Shopping Center but to
retain the Boys Club facility. He noted the advantages to Homart
to develop the Center and the needs of the children in that area
to use the BOys' Club facility.
Mr. Gourgeuchon stated that if the Clubhouse is allowed to remain
they would ask that a condition be put in whereby the Clubhouse
would have to be brought up to a first class site in order to be
comparable to their Shopping Center plans.
Chairman Cox asked that the motion include scheduling a meeting
for next Tuesday (May 5) at 7 p.m. at which time a report should
be forthcoming from the School District regarding Council's action.
Phi 1 Scheuer, 1319 Costa Avenue, Chula Vista, submi t ted a li st of
finances and budgetary items for the Girls Club and Boys Club
facili ty. He favors leaving the BOys Club where it is; however,
it has been a deadlock throughout the entire consideration of the
Shopping Center. Mr. Scheuer then discussed his budgetary figures
with the Agency.
Chairman Cox stated he will be voting against the motion since he
is concerned that the motion addresses specifically having a Girls
Club and Boys Club facility and not a multi-facility for the
entire community.
Member McCandliss said her intent is to find another location for
the Boys Club and at that time when this is considered by the
Agency, the Members can discuss having a multi-use hcility.
The motion carried with Chairman Cox voting "no."

Under Attachment 14, the Agency elects Alternat i ve A (cash or
credit in the amount of $750,000). Alternative B is deleted.
Director Desrochers stated staff's contention that if there is a
savings on the part of Homart in developing the Center, the City
should share in those savings. The Homart management team
withdrew that particular condition and offered the cash or credit
in the amount of $750,000.
Member Malcolm stated he would like to have a condition requiring
Homart that for any cost below the approximate $42 million
estimated for the construction of the Center, the savings be split
50/50 with the City with the first $.5 million from the City will
be put back in and given a credit to Homart adding to the $1.5
million already committed for a tenant allowance to entice them to
get nice tenants.
Mr. Gourgeuchon responded they cannot accept that particular
clause since they have direction to go with just the cash or
credit in the amount of $750,000. He added that the staff has had
6 months in which to verity all Homart's figures and to take this
position at this time now is "blatantly unfair"; Homart is taking
all the risk and they should get the rewards at the same time; if
the Agency changes this particular condition, they would ask that
the $750,000 no longer remain available.
Member Malcolm said he just wants to be assured Homart will be
spending the $35 million plus the $7 million from the City in
renovating the Shopping Center.
Director of Finance Christopher stated it is staff's position that
the Agency is putting in $7.3 million and Homart is putting in $35
million. The Agency's participation can easily be verified;
however, all that they are asking is simple verification from
Homart that they will indeed spend the $35 million in this
project. They are willing to accept verification from Homart on
this.
Mr. Perry Hall, also representing Homart stated that whatever
resolution is passed by the Agency this evening, they will have to
call their management team in Chicago the first thing tomorrow
morning to get their agreement. He added that it should be clear
that whatever condition is imposed on #2, the $750,000 is
wi thdrawn. He added that both comments by Member Malcolm and
Director Christopher are contrary to what their management team
has agreed to and the management committee cannot overrule their
Board of Directors. One of the concerns of the Management
Committee is the the method of verifying their expenditures.
MSUC (Nader/Malcolm) that in this agreement it is agreed that $35
million will be invested by Homart and Chula Vista will accept a
certified statement from a Homart accountant that the $35 million
has been spent (this will be proof of that investment).

Maria Scully, Attorney representing the Agency, stated the motion
leaves the City with the alternative of pursuing default
provisions and suing for damages. She discussed the avenue for
damages which will be between the $35 million that Homart should
be spending and what would actually be spent.
Member Malcolm remarked that these liquidated damages
set forth dollar by dollar into the agreement.

Attorney Scully noted that when the physical structure of the
Center is completed the developer is then entitled to a Notice of
Completion. She asked that the Agency note at what point of time
Homart would be found in default of not spending the $35 million.
Mr. Hall stated that they would like to have the flexibility of up
to two years after the opening of the Center. I f they find they
can do it sooner, they will provide that.
Member Nader asked that the motion incorporate the two year period
of time, that this be two years after the Notice of Completion.
The motion carried unanimously.

The bed of 5th Avenue will be conveyed from (a) HUD to the
City, (b) the City to the Agency, and (c) the Agency to
Homart, at the close of the First Escrow. Concurrently with
their approval of this Agreement, the City and the Agency will
adopt appropriate resolutions authorizing their respective
acquisitions and conveyances of those properties. By letter
agreement with HUD, the Ci ty and Agency recognize that HUD
will appraise the bed of 5th Avenue and is to receive
consideration for it. HUD has represented to the City
Attorney and has confirmed in writing that the price "should
be determined on the basis of its present use as a public
street." Redeveloper is not to bear any of the appraisal costs
or the price payable to HUD as a result of the appraisaL
Rather, the City and Agency shall be responsible for such
costs and for the payment to HUD, in such manner as they may
determine between them.
Director Desrochers stated that HOD owns 1/2 of Fifth Avenue and
Homart owns the other half. Homart wants the City to pay for the
appraisal cost. It is staff's contention that Homart should pay
the first $10,000 and then the Agency split whatever cost comes
over that amount.
in
Mr. Hall indicated that he feels the appraisal will come
under $10,000.
MSUC (Malcolm/Cox) that the City will pay the first $10,000 of the
appraisal and anything over that will be split 50/50.

With respect to both Category (a) and Category (b) above:
(1) The rules set forth in Section 506 shall terminate

pre-existing retail business within the City, or that it has
such a business but has no plan or intent to transfer,
relocate or close that business, that Redeveloper may rely on

The city's obligations to the Redeveloper in relation to this
Agreement will be reduced to a City/Redeveloper Business
Points Letter, which shall be approved by the city and signed
by the City and Redeveloper on or before the close of the
First Escrow. In that City/Redeveloper Business Points
Letter, among its other provisions, the City will acknowledge
that the conditions precedent to the vacation of 5th Avenue
(including without limitation the Fig Avenue and DDA
conditions) will be deemed satisfied and removed, effective on
the close of the First Escrow (through which the bed of 5th
Avenue is conveyed to the Redeveloper).
I n answer to Counci Iman Nader's query, Attorney Scully explained
that the intent of this language is in order for Homart to close
escrow for their acquisition (and they want to close escrow on
Fifth Avenue at the same time); they want the Agency to find that
the obligations of Homart as set forth in the DDA satisfies those
conditions.

12. The $5,000,000 insurance requirement of Section 412 may be met
by certificates of insurance, or by a program of
self-insurance naming the Agency, the city, their respective

would name them.
MSUC (Cox/Moore) to accept #12 as recommended by staff and Homart.
13. In the Grant Deeds (Attachment No.8) and Agreement Containing
Covenants (Attachment No. 10), the covenants to be recorded
(a) will be revised to conform to this Rider (as appropriate),
and (b) as to covenants that will survive the issuance of the
Certificate of Completion, will be screened so as to contain
only those covenants that are necessary in order to satisfy
the Agency's statutory legal requirements. For example, if an
absolute obligation to rebuild after total uninsured
earthquake destruction is not statutorily required, or if
"freezing" the exterior look of the shopping center for the
next 25 years is not statutorily required, those covenants
should not be included.
Agency discussion followed with Mr. Gourgeuchon regarding the
"uninsured destruction" of the Center. He noted that the
covenants run with the land and if the Center should be destroyed
for some reason, it limits their ability to adapt to a rapidly
changing climate.
Attorney Meyer noted the statutory requirements and they do not
want to see the covenants running with the land. They will agree
to be bound by all statutory agreements. They are asking that
those by statute which do not need to became a part of the
recorded documents be handled in some other fashion.

15. Redeveloper shall bear the risk of increased project costs and
obtain the benefit of project savings after the execution of
this Agreement. Changes to the Basic Concept Plans and
subsequent drawings and plans which have an effect on the cost
of the project shall be handled as follows:
(a) Redeveloper shall bear the cost of changes which are
consistent with the logical evolution of the basic Concept
Plans and Scope of Development as set forth in this Agreement;
(b) Redeveloper shall bear the cost of changes required
as a part of the City's review of plans and specifications for
compliance with building codes and other such statutory
obligations.
(c) Redeveloper shall have no obligation to bear the
increase in cost due to changes which are the result of the
Design Review Process and which impose additional requirements
upon Redeveloper which are not contemplated by the basic
Concept Plans and Scope of Development which are part of this
Agreement, if the net effect of such changes is an increase in
the total costs of the Project.
Mr. Gourgeuchon stated he has concerns with the time element and
cost with going through the Design Review Board.
Member McCandliss noted that at a previous meeting the Agency
indicated that if there was any problem with the Design Review
Board, Homart can appeal this to the Agency.
Chairman Cox said there would be good faith efforts on the part of
the Design Review in reviewing these plans.
Director Desrochers stated that #19 also applies to this.

Documents under Section 403 and the Schedule of Performance
