CityCouncil | 2017-04-18 | 5 | strategy; Building 612 is in the Enterprise Area; short term leases are being done to provide a consistent revenue stream and to maintain tenants in small buildings. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the building will be marketed after 24 months. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the Enterprise Zone is marketed in its entirety as a packet; short term tenants are kept so by the time the developer is ready to move forward, the tenant can be eased out of the building. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the $2,500 rent is the going rate for a 4,000 square foot building at Alameda Point, to which Mr. Schmieder responded in the affirmative; stated the rent has been increased 6%. Mayor Spencer moved introduction of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Vella seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (*17-258) Recommendation to Accept Status Report on Tidal Canal Project Phase I and Provide Direction to Staff on Moving Forward with Phase II and Phase III. Accepted. The Assistant City Attorney gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired the height of the fence which is proposed to be constructed around the bulkhead, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded the standard height is six feet; the proposed fencing would be for safety and would not obstruct the view. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, the Assistant City Attorney stated the strategy is to treat everyone the same with two exceptions; one property on the west side added landscaping and private asphalt, reducing the pathway to five feet wide; the City proposes to retain the existing improvement under a license agreement; the second exception is the property which added a pool and stairs. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the plan is to add fencing for the remaining three properties, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated there is the exception for the property on the eastern most point with the pool and stairs, which is encroaching on City land; the costs to remove the encroachments are prohibitive, so staff is considering offering a leasing arrangement. Councilmember Oddie inquired why the City issued a permit for the pool to be built if the property is City-owned. The City Planner responded permits and the project were never finaled; the City inspector stated there is a problem and the project cannot move forward.
