Home My WebLink About10/22/1996, C-7 - DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY AT 860 PACIFIC STREET conn ck o cu_y j Agcnba Repom ZI q CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO FROM: Mike McCluskey, Public Works D' or Prepared By: Keith Opalewski, Parking Manager\4,., SUBJECT: Disposition of Property at 860 Pacific Street CAO RECO1bIME1qDATION: Adopt a resolution declaring the building at 860 Pacific Street to be surplus property and direct staff to prepare a bid package and offer the property for sale to the highest qualified bidder. DISCUSSION: The property located at 860 Pacific Street is currently vacant due to the Parks and Recreation Department relocating to their new offices on Nipomo Street. As the long range plan for the property is to create additional parking spaces for use in the downtown, the building must either be sold or demolished in order to accomplish this goal. The City's parking fund has assumed ownership of the property since the Recreation Department has moved. Staff has received several inquiries from various individuals for possible purchase of the building and its relocation. Staff is in favor of preserving the building. As such, staff would recommend that the building be offered for sale to any and all interested buyers. The condition of purchase would be that the purchaser have a known site and that the relocation of the building be accomplished no later than 90 days after the final sale of the building. This would allow staff time to design and implement a parking lot expansion after the first of the year. The building at 860 Pacific will be advertised for 90 days in accordance with the new demolition and moving of buildings ordinance. However, should no bids for the property be received, or should all bids received be unable to meet the criteria mentioned above, staff would recommend to demolish the building and salvage as much artifacts or historical documentation of the building as possible and proceed with the parking lot expansion project. Council has approved the CEP budget for the parking lot expansion project. Finally, the removal of the building at 860 Pacific is categorically exempt (Attachment A) from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Section 15301), because the removal of the building will not pose a risk to the public, surrounding property, or to natural resources. CONCURRENCES: The Community Development Department has concurred that it is in the interest of the City to preserve this charming building as much as it is realistically possible. The City BIA Parking Committee has concurred that the need for additional parking is important and the purchase of this property was done with the intent of increased parking, as well as provide for future Council Agenda Report - Disposition of Property Page 2 expansion of the Marsh Street Parking Garage. The Cultural Heritage Committee has considered the historical significance of this building, and although they agreed that the building has merit, the committee voted unanimously to not place the house on the City's Historical Master List. FISCAL EWPACT: Staff does not anticipate that the sale for relocation of the building will generate any significant revenue for the parking fund. In all likelihood, bids will probably range from $1 to $1,000 for the building. This is due to the fact that relocating old buildings like this is very expensive, and in order to make the project economically feasible, the building must be bought for little as possible. Although the sale of the house will not generate any substantial amount of money for the parking fund, if the building can be relocated it would save the demolition costs for the parking lot expansion project. In the event no bids are received for the building, staff would recommend to proceed as planned with the approved parking lot expansion project.
