Pursuant to that mandate and in accordance with Oversight Board and California Department of Finance (DOF) approval, the Successor Agency has disposed of 49 of the 57 properties that were owned by the former Redevelopment Agency at the time of dissolution. Of the eight remaining properties, two will be held by the Successor Agency pursuant to enforceable obligations and two will be offered for sale at fair market value. By separate action under another Agenda item, the Oversight Boardwill consider the conveyance of a portion of one of these properties to the City for historical preservation. By Resolution No. SA 2018-005, the Successor Agency approved conveyance of the last four parcels to the City to be held for future developmentpursuant to Health& Safety Code Section 34180(f). These four parcels (collectively, the “Properties”)are depicted on the attached Vicinity Map and more particularly described as: Parcel ID 8 –APN 373-025-007 Parcel ID 9 – APN 373-025-014 Parcel ID 10 –APN 373-025-024 Parcel ID 11 –APN 373-025-027. Transfer of Properties to City for Future Development May 16, 2018 Page 2of 3 Discussion The Properties are located in Redevelopment Project Area No. I in historic downtown Lake Elsinore within the block bounded by Main, Franklin, Ellis and Heald.The Properties are locatedin proximity to the Lake Elsinore Cultural Center and are an integral part of the Downtown Master Plan which was sponsored by the former Redevelopment Agency as the first step toward downtown revitalization. The former Redevelopment Agency’s goals and objectives for Redevelopment Project Area I included: eliminate and prevent the spread of physical blight and deterioration by promoting and encouraging immediate development of parcels in Redevelopment Project Area No. I which are substantially vacant, underutilized and/or unproductive, and encourage and foster economic revitalization, rehabilitation and growth in the Downtown/Old Town Historic District consistent with the Downtown Master Plan. The current configuration of the Properties would allow them to be combined into two developable sites; a .24 acre site on Main Street and a .34 acre site on Ellis.The possibility of creating a single larger developable site is also present given that the parcels adjacent to the Properties are vacant and unimproved.The development of these Properties would contribute to the former Redevelopment Agency’s economic development and revitalization goals for the downtown. Health & Safety Code Section 34180(f) requiresthat an approved compensation agreement (the “Compensation Agreement”) be executed by the affected taxing entities and the Cityin orderto allow for the transfer of the Propertiesto the City for ultimate disposition consistent with the Redevelopment Plan.The form of the attached Compensation Agreement is identical to form agreement approved by the Oversight Board by Resolution No. OB 2016- 003 and approved and executed byall of the affected taxing entities in connection with the prior conveyance of properties to the City to be held for future development. The Compensation Agreement sets forth how proceeds from the sale of the Properties for private development will be distributed to the taxing entities.The net proceeds received by the City from the ultimate sale of the Properties to a private developer will be remitted to the Riverside County Auditor-Controller who will then distribute the net proceeds to the taxing entities in proportion to their normal respective property tax shares.
