~ -A!. REPORT To the Redevelopment Agency November 13, 2000 Subject Resolution Approving Revocable Permit for Use of Agency Owned Land at EI Camino Real and Vera Avenues Recommendation Approve and authorize the grant of revocable permit. Background Devcon Construction (General Contractor for Irvine Apartment Communities (lAC)) needs a staging area for its construction managers and tools and equipment while it undertakes the construction of Irvine Apartment Communities portion of the Franklin Street Project. Devcon has requested to use a 17,000 square foot portion of the Redevelopment Agency property located at EI Camino Real and Vera Street for this purpose (refer to Exhibit A). They hope to use the site for one year, but agreed to a month to month revocable permit so that the land will not be encumbered should the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) be in a position to begin site preparation and/or construction of the affordable housing project proposed for the subject site. The RDA purchased the property with Federal Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnership Act funds for the sole purpose of developing the land with affordable housing. Leasing the property to Devcon is an interim use only and shall in no way delay the City's obligation to construct replacement-housing units on the site. The City has notified HUD of its intentions to provide permission for this interim use and will account for program income earned pursuant to this agreement. Devcon will pay the RDA $2,500/month to lease the site, of which 55% or ($1,375) shall be attributable to the federal program. Devcon Construction has agreed to screen the trailers with fencing and/or landscaping to reduce potential impacts on adjacent residential property. They have also agreed not to store toxic materials/substances of any kind on the site. Trailer use by Devcon personnel and its subcontractors will also be consistent with Redwood City's Construction Noise Ordinance standards. Alternative Do not approve the revocable permit. This option would prevent Devcon Construction from storing office and equipment trailers on the subject property. .. 'T--'-"-"T'" .
