Schroeder, City Administrator Date: July 11, 2012 Subject: Contract For Private Development with Grove - Rainbow L.P. * f On May 2, 2012 City Council held a public hearing and adopted a TIF spending plan with the intent to allocate up to $1.9 million toward redevelopment of the former Home Depot/Grove Plaza development area. The primary development activity is to repurpose the former Home Depot building into an LA Fitness and other retail activities. On May 16, 2012 Council approved a development contract with Stonehenge Development LLC providing the necessary agreement to provide the opportunity for the development plan to proceed. Within that contract up to $1.8 million was allocated toward the repurposing of Home Depot. On June 29, 2012 Stonehenge commenced demolition activities on behalf of Home Depot in order to preserve their development rights under the development contract. Under this contract, Stonehenge has until August 31, 2012 to close on the real estate for the development parcel. One of the actions necessary to ensure the development has an opportunity to proceed is that the owner of the Grove Plaza Shopping Center needed to remove an existing restriction against Fitness facilities. This restriction existed on both the Grove Plaza and Home Depot parcels. In order to remove that restriction Grove - Rainbow L.P., the owner of Grove Plaza required consideration commensurate with the value of the restriction removal. This requested consideration has been a known development issue and was contemplated within both the TIF spending plan and the Stonehenge Development Contract. On July 10, 2012 the EDA approved a contract for Private Development with Grove - Rainbow, L.P. which addresses the requested consideration and provides the opportunity for completing the build out of vacant tenant spaces at Grove Plaza. Requested at this time is that Council ratify the EDA approved contract. Under Section 3.2 of the development contract the EDA would provide to the developer (Grove- Rainbow) $30,000 towards improvement of a tenant space occupied by a restaurant on the development property. The improved property is a 2,373 square foot bay. The consideration results in a contribution of $12.64 /square foot. This consideration would be paid upon receipt by the EDA of evidence of construction costs and payment for the contemplated tenant improvements under 3.2(d) of the development contract. This payment would be made regardless of whether the Stonehenge development proceeds or not. As noted above, Stonehenge has until August 31, 2012 to close on the Real Estate. If this in fact occurs then Grove Rainbow qualifies for additional consideration under this contract. Thai consideration would be allocated toward future tenant improvements of the remaining 18,000 leasable square feet within the shopping center in an amount up to $70,000. The consideration results in a contribution estimated at $3.89 /square foot should that entire 18,000 square foot bay be leased and improved with the same requirements for documentation of expenses. Tenant improvements would need to be completed by December 31, 2014. If the Stonehenge project does not proceed the EDA would have no obligations under the contract to provide consideration for tenant improvements. Of note, absent participation of Grove- Rainbow the Stonehenge development as proposed could not occur. The consideration provided by the EDA has been included within the project budget as is presented herein. The developer has signed his agreement to this contract. Finally, all EDA consideration is allocated toward tenant improvements of the Grove Plaza shopping center. Council Action: Ratify the EDA development contract with Grove - Rainbow, L.P.
