BACKGROUND: The subject property is made up of two separate parcels totaling approximately 38,000 square feet. The property is identified in the adopted Long-Range Property Management Plan (PMP) as Property 1. The PMP, as approved by the Department of 1 Packet Pg. 3 Finance, lists Property 1 for liquidation. The proposed buyer is D&MJFH 1, LLC, represented by Douglas Jacobsen. Mr. Jacobsen also represents the property at the northeast corner of Barton Road and Vivienda Avenue. Attachment 1 is a Letter of Intent (Agreement) to purchase Property 1. DISCUSSION: The Agency Executive Director received the attached Letter of Intent to purchase Property 1 at a purchase price of $400,000. This is the best offer received. The PMP prepared in 2013 and revised in 2014 estimated the value of Property 1 at $350,000. Refer to Attachment 2 for the analysis of Property 1 from the PMP. Market values have increased since 2014 and it is reasonable to expect the value of Property 1 to have increased as well. To ensure that the Agency receives fair market value of the property, one of the terms of the purchase and sale agreement will be that the Buyer will purchase the property at the higher of $400,000 or the value set by a Broker’s Price Opinion of Value. As shown in the Letter of Intent, the Buyer desires to enter and close escrow quickly. Escrow is proposed to close within 30 days of opening, but no later than 90 days. However, the purchase is subject to a contingency (Section 8) that the Buyer executes a purchase agreement and opens escrow on the property located at 22182 Barton Road (owned by Dr. Luke); and a condition (Section 12) that Dr. Luke secures a buildable pad on Property 1. The proposed Buyer and Dr. Luke would negotiate the logistics of the new pad. The agenda report that was contained in the regular packet contained error in identifying the location of Property 1, and the Letter of Intent also contained a typo in an APN and incorrectly identified the City as the property owner. It has also been revised to show only one broker, Candyce Bozner. The items have been updated and revised in this special meeting agenda report. The properties sits between two dynamic corners in Grand Terrace. Over 28,000 cars per day circulate through the intersection at Barton Road and Mount Vernon Avenue and over 27,000 cars per day pass through the intersection at Barton Road and Michigan Street. Assembling of the properties will allow for a cohesive design and maximizes the opportunity to capture these vehicle trips. It is recommended that the Successor Agency find that this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 the California Code of Regulations because the proposed purchase and sale agreement will not create a significant impact on the environment but merely transfer the property for development purposes. When the developer applies for entitlements for the use of the property, the project will be reviewed pursuant to CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT: 1 Packet Pg. 4 Proceeds from the sale of the property must be distributed to the appropriate taxing entities. The City’s General Fund will realize a positive financial impact of approximately $80,000. This is because there are many taxing entities that receive a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of former redevelopment agency property. The City’s General Fund receives 19.97% of the sale proceeds after deduction of qualified expenses. The largest disbursements are to the Colton Joint Unified School District (26.53%), ERAF (19.26%) and County of San Bernardino General Fund (12.72%).

No known history of environmental contamination, designation as Brownfield site, or remediation was identified. During the aforementioned escrow, a subsequent Phase 1 Assessment was conducted by O'Reilly, which identified a 10 cubic yard soil pile, as a Recognized Environmental Concern (REC). Additional soil sampling of the soil pile determined the stockpile contains non-hazardous levels of diesel and motor oil range hydrocarbons. As a condition to the close of escrow, O'Reilly was requiring the Agency to remove the soil from the property. To properly dispose of the soil pile to the appropriate treatment storage disposal facility, additional analysis for VOC's and metals is required. The Agency has included the anticipated cost of soil removal on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS").
