BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its July 12, 2006 meeting, the Commission awarded an exclusive negotiating agreement (ENA) No. 07-67-004-00 for joint development at the La Sierra Metrolink station to BRE Properties for a 180-day period. The ENA allows for the Commission to negotiate exclusively with BRE Properties. At its February 14, 2007 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 07-67-004-01 authorizing a six-month extension of the negotiating period. Representatives from the Commission, BRE Properties, Best, Best & Krieger, the city of Riverside Planning and Redevelopment, and Keyser Marston Associates (real estate financial advisory) have participated in the negotiations. Briefings with Riverside Public Utilities and Riverside Transit Agency representatives have also been held. The TOD project at the La Sierra station proposed by BRE Properties contemplates construction of two 1,000 space parking structures to the Commission for Metrolink parking in exchange for Commission property in two phases. The first phase option would terminate in December 2009, while the second phase option would terminate in December 2012. Agenda item 6 At its September 2007 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 08-67-018-00 with BRE Properties for a TOD option at the La Sierra station. The proposed option agreement also contemplates the use of the Infrastructure Financing Act (Government Code Section 5956-5956.10), which would require a public hearing prior to the opening of each Metrolink parking structure related to a parking fee to cover maintenance of the parking structure. The proposal does not require a fee for the capital construction of the parking structure since the Commission would convey its property to the developer, BRE Properties. Need For Exclusive Negotiating Agreement Extension Since the September 2007 meeting, the option agreement has not been executed at the request of. BRE Properties. During the last few months, the downturn in the residential market coupled with the costs of the public infrastructure requirements give pause to BRE Properties in light of their impact to the pro -forma. BRE Properties continues to meet with the city of Riverside and Commission staff to discuss funding alternatives. BRE recently submitted a joint application with the Commission for Prop 1 C TOD funds for the parking structure at the La Sierra station. As a result, BRE Properties is requesting an ENA extension in order to pursue other funding/financing options to complete its funding plan. Staff recommends that the ENA extension term end September 30, 2008. Agenda Item 6 • " AGENDA ITEM 7 " " " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: April 28, 2008 TO: Property Committee FROM: Sheldon Peterson, Program Manager Min Saysay, Right -of -Way Manager THROUGH: Stephanie Wiggins, Regional Programs Director SUBJECT: Property Easement Amendments to Accommodate Transit Oriented Development Plans with BRE Properties Adjacent to the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Amend property easement nos. 73060 and 313756 to accommodate transit oriented development (TOD) plans with BRE Properties adjacent to the Riverside Downtown Metrolink station pursuant to legal counsel review; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: After the construction of the southside platforms at the Riverside Downtown station, the Commission established property easement nos. 73060 and 313756 in 1997. These were developed for the purpose of providing pedestrian and vehicular access to the platform for maintenance and emergency purposes and to provide emergency access, ingress and egress to and from the platform. These easements are located along the property east of the station and provide access along the continuation of 12th Street to Howard Avenue and roughly from the pedestrian access location west towards 14' Street. From the station platform, there is a pedestrian crossing of the station tracks and a gate that provides access to the easement. The property encumbered by these easements is owned in fee by BRE Properties and is currently being designed as a TOD that will include a 14.9 acre development with 427 rental apartment units and 771 parking spaces. The developer is requesting that the Commission modify the existing easements to relocate them to coordinate with vehicle and pedestrian access areas designated within the project plans. This means that the easements will shift approximately 20 to 50 feet within the property to meet the proposed driveway locations. There will be no change in the total area of the easements and the Commission's rights will be fully retained. Agenda Item 7 3 This change will support the creation of the first TOD in Downtown Riverside that will help to revitalize the neighborhood and increase Metrolink ridership. There is no fiscal impact with this easement modification.
