CityCouncil | 2010-09-07 | 20 | (10-430 CC) Recommendation to Authorize the Community Improvement Commission of the City of Alameda to Enter into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Warmington Residential for Redevelopment of the City's Corporation Yard Located at 1616 Fortmann Way and the City's Animal Shelter Located at 1590 Fortmann Way; and (10-67 CIC) Recommendation to Approve an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement by and between the Community Improvement Commission and Warmington Residential for Redevelopment of the City's Corporation Yard Located at 1616 Fortmann Way and the City's Animal Shelter Located at 1590 Fortmann Way. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services gave a brief presentation. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated the project is small; inquired why the initial term of the ENA would be eighteen months. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded the timeframe is more of an issue with the City developing a relocation study and is more for the City's benefit. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired what has been learned from the SunCal ENA. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded the City has standard and good faith provisions and termination dates in all ENAs; stated the project is for two acres and up to twenty-seven units; the ENA is simple and straightforward. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated no developer is perfect, but no developer is like SunCal; the City's relationship with SunCal totally broke down; inquired whether assurances are in place to avoid a similar breakdown with Warmington Residential. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded Warmington Residential has a proven track record in the City and is moving forward in very difficult economic times; stated staff feels comfortable with Warmington Residential. The Interim Executive Director stated staff needs to assess whether moving the two facilities [Corporation Yard and Animal Shelter] is feasible for the City; the ENA is not as complex as the SunCal ENA. Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether the CIC budget includes $100,000 that would be needed to reimburse Warmington Residential for geotechnical and environmental testing if the project does not go through. The Interim Executive Director responded in the affirmative; stated every year, a small amount is budgeted for studies. Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether the project would be subject to affordable housing requirements, to which the Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded in the affirmative.
