TO: Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Lynwood
Redevelopment Agency fa ���
APPROVED BY: N. Enrique Martinez, Executive Direct
PREPARED BY: William A. Rawlings, Redevelopment "` erector
Olivia L. Segura, Deputy Director of Redevelopment
SUBJECT: REQUEST CONCEPT APPROVAL OF THE OAKWOOD MIXED -
USE PROJECT
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Agency approve the concept for the Oakwood Mixed
use project for the location at Long Beach Boulevard between Oakwood Avenue
and Los Flores Boulevard.
Background:
Universal Property Investments, LLC submitted a proposal on October 23, 2006
to develop Long Beach Boulevard between Oakwood Avenue and Los Flores
Boulevard. This developer owns the land and is not requesting financial
assistance from the Agency or the City. The developer is requesting an
expedited approval on the project.
The total site area is approximately 48,570 S.F. with ground floor retail and
parking and residential above. The commercial/retail portion of the project is
14,600 S.F. including 73 retail parking spaces. The residential portion of the
project would be located on the third floor and would offer 19 two bedroom
condominiums of 1280 S.F. each. The total amount of parking spaces for the
residential portion is 48.
The Redevelopment Sub - Committee met on December 12, 2006 to discuss this
project in detail. The Sub - Committee recommended approval of the project and
directed staff to prepare an agenda item requesting Agency Board approval.
ANALYSIS
This analysis is based on, among other things, an evaluation of the benefits to
our community given the following key criteria and is based predomingntly on
AQEPA ITEM
data provided by the Developer which has not been verified by an independent
source.
1. Sales Tax and Tax Increment Benefits to the City
2. Temporary/Permanent Jobs Generated in the City
3. Specific Amenities for the City
4. Furtherance of the City's Housing Goals
5. Compliance with the Specific Plan /Comparison to possible other uses
6. Net cost to the City
1. Sales Tax and Tax Increment Benefits to the City
Sales Tax
The developer estimates that the retail portion of the project will bring
approximately $51,000 of sales tax annually.
Tax Increment
The developer estimates that the property tax for this project will be
approximately $169,265.58 annually.
2. Job Creation
The developer states that the project will produce 80 temporary construction jobs
and approximately 40 -50 permanent job opportunities.
3. Specific Amenities for the City
The project will bring 14,600 S.F. of retail including restaurants and a bank. The
developer is proposing the following businesses: Metro PCS, Wells Fargo Bank,
Nike Store, Fantastic Sams, Cold Stone Creamery and Pasta Primavera Cafe.
The project is also proposing nineteen two bedroom condominiums units of 1280
S.F. each.
4. Furtherance of City's Housin_a Plan
The project is proposing nineteen two bedroom condominiums units of 1280 S.F.
each.
5.
The proposal meets the requirements set forth in the Long Beach Boulevard
Specific Plan and includes mixed -use high density, commercial and residential
building with first floor businesses and pedestrian friendly areas. The structure is
in line with the Specific Plan's Downtown Village II area and offers an elegant
Italianate /Mediterranean architecture.
6. Cost to the Agency and City
The developer has clearly stated that they are not requesting any financial
assistance from the Agency or the City.
CONCLUSION
The proposal submitted by Universal Property Investments, LLC proposes
several amenities for the City. These amenities include housing and retail in
accordance with the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan. The proposal also
clearly responds to the following criteria:
1. Sales Tax and Tax Increment Benefits to the City
2. Temporary/Permanent Jobs Generated in the City
3. Specific Amenities for the City
4. Furtherance of the City's Housing Goals
5. Compliance with the Specific Plan/Comparison to possible other uses
6. Net cost to the City and Return on Investment
Staff recommends that the Agency approve the proposed concept for the
following reasons:
1. The proposal complies with the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan.
2. The project requires no land acquisition as the land is owned by the
developer.
3. The project does not require financial assistance from the Agency or the
City.
4. The project assists the City with reaching its housing requirement.
5. The project will bring additional sales tax revenue through the retail portion
of the project and tax increment due to increased property tax value.
6. Additional jobs (80 temporary construction jobs and 40 -50 permanent)
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the City or the Agency as the developer owns the
development site and is not requesting financial assistance.

Executive Director
Agency Counsel
