7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
7.1 Agreement to Negotiate Exclusively between the Orange Redevelopment Agency
and R. C. Hobbs Company for a medical office development located on Agency-owned
property at 164-170 South Water Street (Water Street property). (RA2100.0 Agr-4986)
SUMMARY: In August 2003, the City and Agency acquired the 3.5-acre Water Street property
from the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). At the time of acquisition, it was the City's
intent to redevelop its 1.5-acre eastern portion of the property to serve as Fire Station No. 1 and
Water Division Warehouse, while the nature of the reuse of the Agency's 2-acre western parcel
had not been determined. Since acquisition, the Agency has evaluated a number of reuse
alternatives. Based on the findings of this effort and subsequent discussions with the adjacent
property owner, Agency staff is recommending approval of an exclusive negotiation agreement
with R. C. Hobbs Company to allow them to pursue entitlements and a land sale agreement to
develop a 25,000 sq. ft. medical office project on the site.
Discussion - Senior Assistant to the City Manager, Rick Otto addressed a question by
Councilmember Smith, stating that the Development Agreement would be specific to allowing
only the building of a medical office and could not be changed once the land is purchased by the
Hobbs Company. He also stated that a second appraisal will be conducted on the property prior
to entering into the Development Agreement and the final sales price.
MOTION - Smith
SECOND - Murphy
AYES - Smith, Murphy, Cavecche, Dumitru
Moved to approve Agreement to Negotiate Exclusively between the Orange Redevelopment
Agency and R. C. Hobbs Company, and authorize the Chairman and Agency Clerk to execute on
behalf of the Agency.
