CityCouncil | 2018-04-17 | 21 | The Acting Assistant City Manager stated the space is difficult to market and there is no long term use. Councilmember Oddie stated the choice is to leave the property fallow or generate $1.4 million over the next four years. In response to Vice Mayor Vella's inquiry, Mr. Anderson stated the duration of the project is 40 to 48 months; the company's last project was demolition of the Bay Bridge; a prior BART project is similar to what they are doing with BART now; the 44,000 square feet space will produce a relatively small amount of traffic; diesel is a completely different technology and the standards of pollution is completely different from 20 years ago. Vice Mayor Vella inquired how many vehicles can go in and out if the tenant were to maximize use of the space. Andrew Schmieder, Cushman & Wakefield, responded it would vary, but the trucks the space would accommodate could be two or three times bigger; stated it is a big space for the market. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry regarding public notice and reaching out to the neighborhood, the Assistant Community Development Director stated tenants have to go through a public process to obtain a use permit, but there is no public process for the lease itself; the tenant already obtained a use permit. The City Attorney stated after 18 months, the City can give the tenant notice of termination and cannot ask them to leave. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether there is a report back to track the trips to see if there are problems, to which Mr. Anderson responded in the affirmative. The Acting Assistant City Manager stated the Council could consider some flexibility regarding the number of trucks or limiting the schedule to one that the tenant is willing to consider. (18-236) Mayor Spencer stated a motion is needed to consider the remaining items: minimum wage [paragraph no. 18-237 and the Sanctuary City contracting referral [paragraph no. 18-241]. . Vice Mayor Vella moved approval of considering the remaining items.
