RAILWAY DEPOT, LOCATED AT 20-22 SOUTH L STREET, APPROPRIATION OF UP TO
825,000 IN LOW INCOME HOUSING FUNDS (FUND 611) TO AGENCY FUND 580, AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN DOCUMENTS
The Southern Pacific Railway Depot (Depot) is designated as a historic resource in the
Livermore Downtown Specific Plan Historic Resources Inventory.
The overall site surrounding the Depot has been severely degraded from its historic
configuration, function, and appearance such that no original, contextually relevant, or historical site
features remain and the Historic Preservation Commission has provided policy direction that the
Depot can be relocated.
Relocation of the Depot is necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of anon-conforming
and under-utilized neighborhood shopping center.
The Depot will be relocated to a site in or around the downtown and preserved as an
important historic resource for the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Livermore
hereby authorizes entering into a Cooperation Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Livermore to loan the Agency the funds to purchase and relocate the Southern Pacific
Railway Depot, and authorizes the appropriation of up to $825,000 from Fund 611, Low Income
Housing Fund, to Agency Fund 580, for the purchase of the Southern Pacific Railway Depot, 20-
22 South L Street, and related expenses associated with the purchase of the Depot.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager, or her designee, is authorized to
sign all necessary documents on behalf of the City of Livermore.
