Page 3 of 3 AG MM DATE DOWNTOWN SAN LUIS OBISPO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION TO: City Council FROM: Monte Lukov, BIA Administrator - ' SUBJECT: County Space Expansion DATE: February 4, 1991 RECOMMENDATION: 1) The City Council should oppose the County' s proposed relocation of certain County functions to the TRW site. 2) Council and staff should work with interested parties to offer a total commitment to finding and supporting a concrete solution to both short and long term space problems facing the county. SUMMARY OF CONCERNS: The overall problem of the County' s possible expansion to the TRW site has several major consequences, summarized as follows: 1) The relocation of 200+ employees from the downtown area would negatively effect an area already facing significant financial challenges. 2) The additional loss of subsidiary-type businesses which will follow the County' s relocated function will further impact the downtown in negative ways. 3) Departing from the tri-polar framework would undermine long standing planning principals which have served the community well ( including making access to local government services reasonably centralized and convenient) . 4) Use of the TRW site for office purposes will reduce the limited amount of manufacturing zoning currently available in the City. P.O. Box 1402, Son Luis Obispo, CA 93406 (805) 541 -0286 1 �, � Z0000001t, DOWNTOWN SAN LUIS OBISPO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION BACKGROUND: In September 1990, the BIA became aware of County interest to consolidate satellite offices and to improve its equity status by buying space rather than renting. They showed an interest in the newly available TRW space and were looking at several other options (South Higuera, Prado Road, their current garage site, and court building expansion) . We met on October 22, 1990 with Robert Hendrix, County Administrator and his staff to discuss the County goals, etc. The BIA was represented by Tom Donat, Michael Spangler, Monte Lukov and Carolyn Mason. The discussion covered the mecca of downtown parking, loss of County employees and how the BIA might act as liaison between the City, landlords, County, etc. to find a solution to the County' s dilemma. BIA addressed an updated report to Councilwoman Penny Rappa regarding this meeting (Council/BIA liaison) with copies to Mayor Dunin and CAO John Dunn. We reported the current thinking of County staff and implied Board of Supervisors goals. We indicated 6 factors which we felt needed consideration as soon as possible. We requested a City/BIA meeting to discuss these issues and what options we might have available. (See attached copy of report. ) On December 11, 1990 newly elected Board of Supervisors Chairman David Blakely and County Administrator Robert Hendrix attended the BIA Board of Directors meeting to update our organization on the County position regarding space needs. On January 8, 1991 there was a joint meeting of City/BIA attended by Councilwoman Rappa, CAO John Dunn and the BIA ad hoc committee. After much discussion it was suggested that we develop a list of options as soon as possible, and request joint study sessions with the BIA/City Council and the BIA/County Board of Supervisors to bring everyone up- to-date on what options might be available for both short and long term goals. In the meantime, every effort would be made to find immediate short term solutions for County space needs at such sites as the AT&T building, the old City/County library, etc. On approximately January 16, 1991, the County representatives met with the Downtown Physical Plan Design Committee to hear an update on the status of this project and possible options. P.O. Box 14.02, Son Luis Obispo, CA 93406 (805) 541 -0286 2 ' _� DOWNTOWN SAN LUIS OBISPO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION On January 21, 1991, the City/BIA committee met again to discuss these options and how to best present them to the County at our joint City/County/BIA meeting on January 23. On January 23 , Supervisor Chairman Blakely, CAO Hendrix, Councilman Roalman, CAO Dunn, and the BIA ad hoc committee met to discuss what options might be out there and the history of the problem. After much discussion, the real conclusion from the meeting was that we must come up with concrete recommendations if we want the County to consider , dropping their current interest. Since this meeting, several factors have arisen: 1) The TRW request for a zoning change to a PD zone to increase their options and to get the highest and best use from the property. 2) Downtown Physical Plan joint review and advisory body input session which included a major discussion of options regarding the County. 3) Media coverage through editorials and articles opposed to the County move have had some influence on the issue.
