RESOLUTION 968 ADOPTING OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT OV-OP16 WITH SHELL OIL COMPANY FOR THE REMODELING OF A SERVICE STATION LOCATED WITHIN THE OTAY VALLEY ROAD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA Shell Oil proposed to renovate and expand their existing service station located on the south side of Otay Valley Road approximately 150 feet east of Interstate 805. They proposed replacing their existing service building with a new mini-food mart and a car wash. Member McCandl iss noted concern with the two issues raised in the staff report. (1) The Agency potentially coul d buy thi s 1 ocati on; therefore, if improvements are made, the Agency woul d be buyi ng the improvements; and (2) potential problems with architectural themes. She suggested having an agreement wlth the developer of the Auto Mall that they would put up funds for the additional improvements that are being made, or someway of mitigating this cost; or possibly delaying processing this Owner Participation Agreement until the Agency has a better idea of the plans for the Auto Mall. Executive Director Goss stated at this time it appears likely that Shell Oil and Chula Vista Auto Mall will be able to work out problems so that Shell Oil could stay in its present location. However, it cannot be guaranteed at this poi nt. Member Nader suggested delaying this item until either an agreement can be worked out between the project proponent and the developers of the Auto Mall, or until there is a firmer handle on the architectural design. Agency Attorney Harron pointed out that Shell Oil has gone through a great deal of revi ew and has met the Agency' s/Ci ty' s current requi rements. The reasons for del ayi ng thi s project woul d be very specul ative. The servi ce station is being required to be compatible with something that is not known at this time whether or not it will definitely happen (the Auto Mall). .- MINUTES -4- October 20, J988 RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MEMBER McCANDLISS, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent. Member Nader suggested referring this item back to the Design Review Committee (DRC) with directions to meet with Shell Oil and the developers of the Auto Mall. The DRC would then give a recommendation to the Agency. Mr. Mark Haden with Tate & Associ ates, consu1ti ng engi neers for Shell Oi 1 Company, addressed the Agency. He stated he would like the Agency to reach a decision at this meeting. He pointed out a lot of time and money has been spent on this proposal; Shell Oil has been very cooperative and patient. Mr. Haden suggested the Agency approve the Owner Parti ci pati on Agreement at thi s time, and require that Shell Oil and the Auto Hall developers meet with the DRC. If the Silverado (modern) design is approved, Shell Oil would gladly supplement that design. If the DRC decides against the Silverado, then Shell Oil can proceed with the Mission design (as approved). MSUC (McCandliss/Malcolm) to amend the resolution to approve this (Mission ) and require Shell Oil to go back to the DRC in two weeks. DRC approves the alternative design, it would be authorized. desi9n If the Member Nader asked that staff be directed to invite the people who are working on the Auto Mall to be in attendance at the DRC meeting and provide their input. The resolution was approved unanimously as amended. 10. DIRECTOR'S REPORT: a. Status Report: Chula Vista Shopping Center Mr. Goss reported that Homart will complete approximately 90% of the landscaping in the interior of the mall and 40% of the landscaping in the parking areas by the grand opening date.

Approximately 30 tenants are currently under construction and between 15 to 20 of these tenants will be completed by opening day. The Broadway Department Store has repainted their exterior.
