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 -
