Executive Director of Community Development, Elisa Stipkovich, explained that the site
was previously owned by the City. She said it was unusual in that the City, not the
Redevelopment Agency, owned the site. She noted staff had worked to market the site
and had originally sold it to Hopkins-Gangie, a developer who proposed retail on the site
and later changed it to a site plan with light industrial, research and development type.
She said that was then purchased by the Pollygon Group and they got approval and
entered into an agreement with the City. She said staff looked at the transaction when
the property was transferred to see if there was any land use change or any change in
land value and it was determined that there was no change in land value at that time and
approved the transfer to Pollygon. Pollygon, she added, had started a process of
divesting themselves of their properties due to the health condition of the owner and they

put the subject property out in the market place and the only reasonable offer they
received was from a residential developer, the Olsen Company. Staff indicated that they
reviewed the residual land value analysis and also the land use but it was then decided
to go forward under the rezoning and general plan amendment.
Chairman Daly asked why the Redevelopment Agency was not apprised of the change
in plans.
Ms. Stipkovich said that staff may not have made it as clear as they could have, but the
process of changing the general plan was approved and that took the lead in terms of
letting the Agency make the decision. She said an amendment to the agreement to
transfer the land to Olsen and the change in land use would come to a future agenda.
She noted this was an unusual approval process.
Chairman Daly asked if the Agency Directors had to approve the sale of property from
Pollygon to Olsen and Ms. Stipkovich said yes, including the price and the change in
land use.
Chairman Daly asked when that would come forward and she responded it was planned
on the next agenda. He asked if there was a loss of revenue to the Agency and she
said she did not think so.
Agency Member Kring moved to approve Resolution Nos. ARA 2000-6 and ARA 2000-7.
Roll call vote: Ayes - 5, Chairman Daly, Agency Members McCracken, Kring, Tait,
Feldhaus. Noes-0. Motion carried.
