REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER R 4/5THS YOTE: YESDNO0 BACKGROUND The San Diego Unified Port District (Port) has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 1.B1- acre vacant parcel that is lacated at the northeast corner of Bay Boulevard and "J" Street for $1,540,000 plus associated transaction costs estimated to be less than $30,000. The parcel is adjacent to Port tidelands and is strategically located between the "J" Street exit from Interstate 5 and the Port District's proposed 200-acre Chula Vista Bayside Development Proiect. The terms of the agreement require that the Port give notice to escrow prior to May 1, 2002, to either proceed with the transaction or receive reimbursement of the $50,000 deposit that was placed into escrow to secure the property. Port staff recently received Board approval on an updated Capital Development Program (CDP), which includes approximately $17 million in Chula Vista prajects. This money has been carried forward from the now expired City/Port MOU and set aside by the Port for City approved capital projects. Acquisition of the 1.BI-acre parcel of vacant land located at the northeast corner of Bay Boulevard and "J" Street in Chula Vista was included in the Port's list of targeted CDP projects. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council/Redevelopment Agency adopt the resolution authorizing the use of City/Port MOU dollars in the amount of $1,540,000 plus associated transactions costs estimated to be less than $30,000 for Port acquisition of the 1.B1-acre vacant parcel located at the northeast corner of Bay Boulevard and "J" Street. d-f PAGE 2, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 4/23/02 BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The San Diego Board of Port Commissioners adopted Ordinance 2174 (Resolution No. 2002-68) authorizing the Executive Director or his authorized representative to purchase from Foster Inyestment Corporation the 1.81-acre vacant parcel located at the northeast corner of Bay Boulevard and "J" Street on March 26, 2002, by a vote of 5-0, with Commissioners Cushman and Van Deventer absent (Attachment 3). The Board conditions this authorization upon the City Council of the City of Chula Vista approving the use of funds that are set aside by the District for projects completed in the City of Chula Vista in accordance with the MOU for acquisition of the parcel. (Please note that the Board of Port Commissioners' agenda, staff report, and ordinance incorrectly identify the parcel location as the northwest corner of Bay Boulevard and "J" Street). On April 9, 2002, the State lands Commission approved the Port's action by a vote of 3-0. Port staff had entered into an escrow agreement for the purchase of an approximately 1.81-acre vacant parcel of land located at the northeast corner of Bay Boulevard and "J" Street (Attachment 1). The property is adjacent to tidelands and is strategically located between the "J" Street exit from Interstate 5 and the District's proposed 200-acre Chula Vista Bayside Development Project. The purchase price is $1,540,000 and additional costs associated with the transaction (appraisal fees, escrow fees, Phase II environmental inspection, etc.) are estimated to be less than $30,000. The proposed funding source is Chula Vista/Port MOU dollars. In entering into a purchase agreement with the property owner, Foster Investment Corporation, the Port placed a $50,000 refundable deposit into escrow. The Port has since completed its due diligence of the property and commissioned an appraisal that establish a market value for the property of $1,540,000. Additional terms of the sale are identified in the Port staff report dated March 26, 2002 (Attachment 2). Staff has not reviewed the appraisal but generally concurs with the yaluation for this freeway commercial property. It is anticipated that when development of the Chula Vista Bayside Project commences, the parcel's value will increase dramatically. Port staff projects that the site could become the location for a high- quality signature project that would increase the value of the Port's adjacent 200 acres or, if required, could be used to enhance freeway access to the Bayside Development. FISCAL IMPACT The Port proposes to use $1,570,000 of City/Port MOU funds (balance at approximately $17 million) for acquisition of the 1.81-acre parcel and associated closing costs. Expenditure of these funds for acquisition of this parcel is on the Port's list of targeted CDP projects recently receiving Port approyal. d- - d---- PAGE 3, ITEM NO.: MEETING DATE: 4/23/02 Staff supports acquisition of the subject parcel with the use of MOU funds. However, staff has not had the opportunity to work with Port staff to come up with a proposed plan for the use of the remaining MOU funds. Staff will be advancing a revised list of projects and associated MOU Capital Development Program reflecting Chula Vista's input for Council/Agency consideration in the near term. The Council/Agency's recommendation will then be forwarded for Port discussion/action. AnACHMENTS 1. Parcel Location 2. San Diego Unified Port District Staff Report dated March 26, 2002 3.
