Secretary, Community Development Commission By: Deputy City of National City, California COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE May 1 7007 AGENDA ITEM NO. 31 ITEM TITLE Resolution approving a Design Concept Plan by Palm Plaza Associates, LLC for development of a 1.07-acre parcel located at 1640 East Plaza Boulevard (APN# 557-410-20) in National City, CA. PREPARED BY Xavier Del Valle Senior Project Manager EXPLANATION On June 20, 2006, the CDC Board approved an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Palm Plaza Associates, LLC ("developer") for a 1.07-acre parcel located at 1640 East Plaza Boulevard. Prior to considering a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the CDC parcel, the developer shall first submit their Design Concept Plan to the Board for consideration. On September 19, 2006, the developer presented their Concept Plan to the Board for consideration. Due to concerns pertaining to lack of commercial space, and access and circulation, the Board directed the developer to revise their Concept Plan. Since then, the developer has revised their Concept Plan, and is prepared to present it to the Board for consideration. DEPARTMENT Di,,:,g' Community Development Commission Considering a Concept Plan is not a pre -commitment from the CDC to execute a DDA, provide assistance of any kind, or approve land uses for the project. Approval of a Concept Plan, if granted, would enable the developer to initiate the necessary land use entitlements and environmental studies for development of the subject parcel. Additionally, it would allow staff to continue working on negotiating and finalizing a DDA with the developer, which is slated for Board consideration by Fall 2007. Environmental Review Environmental studies for a proposed project shall be initiated once a Design Concept Plan is approved by the CDC, and land use applications are submitted to the City for consideration. Financial Statement A $25,000 deposit from the developer has been received by the CDC to offset the costs associated with implementing the Assignment Agreement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION CDC adopt a resolution approving a Design Concept Plan by Palm Plaza Associates, LLC for development of a 1.07-acre parcel located at 1640 East Plaza Boulevard. ATTACHMENTS 1. Background Report 2. Resolution 3. Design Concept Plan Resolution No. A-200 (9/80) ATTACHMENT 1 BACKGROUND REPORT On September 19, 2006, Palm Plaza Associates, LLC ("developer") presented to the Board a Design Concept Plan for the CDC -owned parcel at 1640 East Plaza Boulevard, as well as for two adjacent parcels that the developer owns. Due to concerns pertaining to lack of commercial space, and access and circulation, the Board directed the developer to revise their Concept Plan. On February 6, 2007, the Board extended the Assignment Agreement for an additional 180 days to allow the developer more time to refine the Concept Plan, and to complete DDA negotiations, land use entitlements and environmental studies for a project on the CDC owned parcel. Since then, the developer has improved their Concept Plan from the original proposal that was presented last September. As you may recall, the original Design Concept Plan proposed 53 town home units, two live -work units, a clubhouse, and 116 parking spaces. The revised Concept Plan increases the number of residential units and parking spaces, and provides additional commercial space along Plaza Boulevard. The new proposal calls for 76 condominium units, 114 residential parking spaces, including 24 guest parking spaces, 5,800-sf of commercial space, and 29 commercial parking spaces. The revised Concept Plan is herein included as Attachment 3. Unique to the new proposal is the developer's partnership with Thrifty Oil, the owner of the service station on the SE corner of Palm Avenue and Plaza Boulevard. Under the new partnership, Thrifty will eventually acquire the commercial component of the project (on property owned by the developer) for a retail use, and will upgrade their existing service station. The developer shall continue working with the CDC on negotiating and finalizing a DDA, and preparing the necessary land use entitlements and environmental studies for developing the mixed use project, which shall be developed in a single phase. Prior to considering a DDA for the CDC parcel, the developer shall first submit their Design Concept Plan to the Board for consideration. Tonight's action is to consider the developer's revised Concept Plan for the subject parcel. Approval of a Concept Plan, if granted, would then enable the developer to initiate the necessary land use entitlements and environmental studies for development of the project. Additionally, it would allow the developer and CDC staff to continue working on negotiating and finalizing a DDA, which is slated for Board consideration by Fall 2007.
