FOR RIGHT-OF WAY ALONG CALLE JOAQUIN. (WALTER/BOCHUM) The agenda report will be distributed at a later date. r . r counat M�Dft May 3,2005 j acEnaa REpoin CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO FROM: Jay Walter,P.E. —Public Works Director Prepared By: Timothy Scott Bochum, P.E. —Deputy Director SUBJECT: PROPERTY EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH OCEAN PARK HOTELS- CVP, LLC FOR RIGHT OF WAY ALONG CALI.E JOAQUIN AND PARTIAL RELINQUISHMENT OF AN OPEN SPACE EASEMENT CAO RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve an agreement with Ocean Park Hotels—CVP,LLC. for the exchange of property and right-of-way (ROW) along current and future Calle Joaquin and authorize the Mayor to execute the final agreement. 2. Adopt a resolution approving the partial relinquishment of an open space easement affecting an unnamed creek which must be crossed by the roadway. DISCUSSION The City of has been working closely with property owners, businesses and individuals to complete the Calle Joaquin Relocation project currently being undertaken by Costco as part of its mitigation requirements. As part of that project, property for street right-of-way (ROW) must be acquired across a small number of parcels under private ownership. Two of these properties are under the ownership of Ocean Park Hotels — CVC, LLC., which is pursuing development projects under the City's development review process for two hotels along Calle Joaquin. The City has been in negotiation with Ocean Park Hotels for many years as part of their development review process and during discussions of the advance development work for both the Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR) Interchange project and the Calle Joaquin Relocation project. In essence, we have been working to develop a property exchange agreement that would allow acquisition of necessary ROW (adjacent to their property at 1605 Calle Joaquin) without a cash payment and in lieu, the City would exchange existing Calle Joaquin ROW (adjacent to their property at 1515 Calle Joaquin) that would become obsolete when the relocation project is completed. The attached draft agreement achieves these objectives and allows conveyance of the needed ROW for Calle Joaquin relocation. When that construction project is complete and existing Calle Joaquin is no longer necessary, the property owner will be allowed to utilize the exchanged property for use in development of his project. The agreement also conveys to the City the necessary construction and slope easements required to construct the Calle Joaquin Realignment project. A utility easement is preserved in the existing Calle Joaquin ROW area to allow existing utilities to remain in place. CK- l Property Exchange Agreement—Ocean Park Hotels CVP, LLC. Page 2 Partial Relinquishment of Open Space Easement Several years ago, a previous project (the Funn Zone), which was never developed on what is now the Ocean Park property (APN 053-171-030), was required as a condition of approval to place protective easements over two creek areas at that property. One of these easements added some complexities to the current Calle Joaquin relocation studies; however, it was ultimately determined that the proposed alignment had the least overall impact on existing wetlands and riparian areas. Alternative alignments either added greatly to the expense of the project, raised other environmental issues, or did not accomplish the safety needs that were driving the technical aspects of the realignment. Additionally, mitigation for the impacts to the unnamed creek that was being affected was called for by City policies, as well as Army Corps of Engineers requirements; therefore a site on the Boysen Ranch, at the corner of Los Osos Valley Road and Foothill Boulevard, was identified as being appropriate for mitigation at a 3:1 ratio. For these reasons, staff is recommending that Council adopt the attached resolution formally relinquishing the portion of open space easement on those lands being transferred from Ocean Park Hotels to the City of San Luis Obispo that are burdened by that easement. The easement area totals 1605 Calle Joaquin Easement areas to remain intact —. r Easement areas to 1615 Calle be relinquished Joaquin q aq R~ ~ Future Potential Ramps EL6 Figure 1 —Calle Joaquin Relocation Creek Crossing ��—Z Property Exchange Agreement—Ocean Park Hotels CVP,_LLC. Page 3 approximately 20,350 square feet (0.467 acre); about 20 to 25% of this area will be affected by the road realignment. The mitigation at the Boysen Ranch will fully mitigate for the environmental impacts of the roadway project and the relinquishment of the open space easement over those portions of the new road alignment. The second easement referred to above is not affected by this transaction or by the roadway project. The Boysen Ranch easement will be presented to the Council for acceptance in the near future. CONCURRENCES The Natural Resources Manager has been working with property owners, the environmental consultant and the Army Corp of Engineers to develop an appropriate habitat mitigation and monitoring plan that meets Federal and City standards. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this agreement. ALTERNATIVES Do not enter into the agreement. This alternative is not recommended because timing of the Calle Joaquin relocation project is critical in addressing current safety issues near LOUR and traffic that will be generated by new development in the LOVR area. Further, if a property exchange agreement is not reached, financial compensation would be necessary to acquire the needed ROW for the Calle Joaquin Relocation project.

F. Also in order to realign Calle Joaquin as proposed by the City, the driveway of the adjacent property identified by the San Luis Obispo County Assessor's office as AP#053-171-021 and hereinafter referred to as the"Motel 6 Parcel"would have to be relocated utilizing an 0.013 acre area from G'rantor's Parcels. G. Grantor and City propose certain land exchanges,whereby Grantor would grant new public roadway and related easements to the City for the Roadway Realignment Project and, in exchange,the City would abandon certain existing roadway rights of way that will become superseded and unnecessary for future public use to Grantor,upon completion of construction of the Roadway Realignment Project.

S. Army Corps of Engineers and by the City of San Luis Obispo; and WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo to undertake full and complete mitigation for the environmental impacts of City-sponsored projects; and WHEREAS, acceptable mitigation for said impacts has been identified, and approved by the City of San Luis Obispo, U.
