CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS 1 - 2:
On motion by Chairman Daly, seconded by Agency Member
Lopez, the following actions were authorized in accordance with the reports and recommendations
furnished each Agency Member and as listed on the Consent Calendar Agenda.
1.123: Approving the Negotiation Agreement by and among the Agency, Automobile Club of
Southern California and Anaheim Center Associates related to the proposed purchase,
development and use of certain parcels in Downtown Anaheim.
Submitted was report dated September 23, 1997 from the Community Development Department
recommending approval of the subject agreement.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. She briefed the subject report
recommending approval of the agreement and explaining the specifics of the proposal. They are
requesting Agency approval tonight so that staff can continue working with both Koll and the Automobile
Club.
Questions were then posed by Chairman Daly and Agency Member Tait wherein Mrs. Stipkovich
reported that the Automobile Club is requesting 30,000 sq. ft. which would probably be in two stories.
The parcel totals about three acres and they would also have to accommodate parking for about 120
cars. They have been in discussions with Koll about combining it with other uses and also doing some
subterranean parking. She cannot give a more precise answer at this time but it will probably take about
1/3 of that development in terms of the ability to use the entire parcel. Relative to the present
Automobile Club site at Vermont, originally she was proposing to consider it only for residential use but
subsequent to meetings (with Koll) they have been looking at potentially reusing the building perhaps for
medical office use and have been in discussions with Koll. She has nothing to propose tonight but those
two uses -- residential or commercial (possibly medical office use) -- are being considered. It is in
another Redevelopment area and there is a vacant parcel adjacent to it. They want to look at larger
development in that area and to make sure it is comprehensive in terms of other land uses that might be
appropriate for the area. Staff will come back with a specific recommendation when the entire package
is put together. She clarified for Mr. Tait that it would be just to begin negotiations and there is nothing
binding.
