Oct 13, 2021 5:15 PM - Redding City Council - Special Meeting-Civic Auditorium Property Workshop No. 1

>> THE SECOND WORKSHOP IS OCTOBER 27TH THAT WORKSHOP WILL BE ALL ABOUT PLANNING AND MASTER PLANNING WILL BE UM, SET ON NOVA 10 THE SAME TIME AND PLACE AND ON I'M SORRY OCTOBER 27TH PUSH THAT BACK OCTOBER 27TH IS THE PLANNED WORKSHOP THE THIRD WORKSHOP IS NOVEMBER 10TH. THAT WILL BE REALLY TALKING ABOUT LAND RESTRICTIONS - WHAT GRANTS MAY HAVE BEEN RECEIVED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THAT LAND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENT FROM CEQA THAT SORT OF THING AND OCTOBER 18TH THE FOURTH WORKSHOP A SUMMARY FOR THE COUNCIL SO PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR NEXT STEPS I WILL TAKE THAT CHANCE TO SAY BECAUSE THE LAND CONDITION UM, TOPIC MIGHT BE UM, FAIRLY LENGTHY IN OUR RESEARCH MAYBE ELEMENTS WE WON'T HAVE COMPLETE BY NOVEMBER 10TH AND THEN BRING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION BACK AS REQUIRED. THE OTHER THING IN TERMS OF THIS PROGRESS REMEMBERED EVERYONE WE RECEIVED AN OFFER NOT ASKED FOR UNSOLICITED AND PURSUANT TO OUR NORMAL PROCESS RECEIVE THAT IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND HAD THAT IN AN OPEN SESSION DISCUSSION AND AND SO FORTH THESE WORKSHOPS THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY AND ALSO PUT CONTEXT AROUND CONFUSION ABOUT THE UM, ACREAGE THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED SO WELL OVER 200 ACRES BUT THEN AT ONE OF THE PRESENTATIONS ONLY 46 ACRES CAN POSSIBLY BE DEVELOPED I WANT TO SAY WHY THAT'S THE CASE REQUEST WITH DIFFERENCES IN TERMS OF DISCUSSIONS AND REITERATE NODDING WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN GOING FORWARD WE HAVE NO IDEA IN THE COUNCIL WILL ENTERTAINER A SALE ON THE PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP PICTURE UP ON THE SCREEN HERE. WHAT YOU SEE BLUE AND GREEN PROPERTY AND THEIR SEGREGATED BECAUSE WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER MOSTLY DEVELOPED PROPERTY MAY HAVE BUILDINGS AND MAY HAVE WATER AND SEWER AND OTHER FACILITIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED ON THIS PROPERTY. UM, THOSE PROPERTIES ALONG WITH OTHER PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN BUILT ALONG 4 HUNDRED, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I CONSIDER THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND SOME EXCEPTION IF YOU LOOKED AT UNION IRON WORKS HISTORIC DISTRICT SUN DALE BRIDGE BUT IN LARGE PART THE GREEN SPACE OR IS GREEN COLOR DESIGNATED AS GREEN SPACE LARGELY HAS TRAIL SYSTEMS AND, YOU KNOW, A FEW OTHER AMENITIES WITHIN THERE BUT MOSTLY JUST FLORAL AND ANIMALS, ETC. SO REALLY IMPORTANT TO DISTINGUISH PIECES OF PROPERTY AND ALSO FROM A STAND POINT OF A PLANNING EFFORT AND MASTER PLAN THIS AREA. YOU WOULDN'T JUST MASTER PLAN THE BLUE AND PURPLE YOU MASTER PLAN PLAN THE ENTIRE AREA THAT AS AS HOLISTIC ENVIRONMENT HOW THAT IN TERMS OF PROPER DESIGN PLANNING. BUT AFTER YOU'RE DONE MAY DEVELOP WITHIN THE BLUE AND THE PURPLE AREAS SO THAT'S WHY YOU GET THE THREE DIFFERENTIAL IN TERMS OF ACREAGE IN THE MASTER PLAN AREA. VERSUS WHAT COULD BE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT GOING FORWARD AND WHILE YOU'LL HEAR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LAND BY SIZE OR DESCRIPTION THE DIFFERENCE IS IN WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING FOR VERSUS WHAT MIGHT BE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE I THINK THAT EVERYONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A LOT OF THE AREA ALONG THE RIVER WITHIN THE GREEN SPACE NEEDS TO REMAIN, YOU KNOW, LARGELY AS IT IS MAYBE A MODIFICATION BUT A LOT OF WE VALUE THE BEAUTY OF OUR RIVER FRONTS AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE AREA WANT TO WORK IN THE AREAS ASSESSABLE FOR NATURAL USE OR BUILT UP ENVIRONMENT. SO WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THOSE COMMENTS AND WE CAN TRULY START WITH THE WORKSHOP NUMBER ONE, UNLESS ANY QUESTIONS. THE FLOOR IS YOURS. >> THANK YOU, WILL AND MY COUNTERPART SUBSCRIBED MY PREPARATION A RIVETING UM, I'M GOING TO BE HONEST IT'S NOT REALLY. IT'S LAWYER STUFF BUT IMPORTANT STUFF I'M GOING TO START OF FOR THOSE WATCHING OR IN THE CHAMBERS HERE COUNCIL POLICY IS POLICY THAT IS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF TELLS THE CITY COUNCIL HOW TO PRESERVE CERTAIN MATTERS IN 1901 STANDS FOR THE POPULATION IT IS THE COUNCIL SHOULD DISPOSE OF THE PROPERTY TO MAXIMIZE AND GENERALLY MAXIMIZING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GETTING THE BEST PRICE SO THE POLICY HOW YOU ACCOMPLISH ABOUT AND SOMETIMES WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF PUBLIC OR DISPOSITION OF LANDS TAKING LESS TO GET MORE VALUE; RIGHT? SO THE COUNCIL POLICY ADDRESSES THAT WELL AND ANY TIME THE COUNCIL TAKES LESS THAN PRICE WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE BENEFIT TO THE TAXPAYER. THAT IS GENERALLY WHAT THE POLICY CALIFORNIA'S SURPLUS PROPERTY ACT AND SO I'M GOING TO DISCUSS NEXT AND PRIOR TO 2019 SURPLUS LAND ACT I'M GOING TO DESCRIBE IT AS OPTIONAL IT WAS IOWA IS NOT CONSIDERED AS A MANDATORY CONDITION FOR SELLING PROPERTY OR LEASING PROPERTY THAT CHANGED IN 2019 WHAT CHANGED WE GOT LEGISLATION THAT MOVED THE SURPLUS LAND ACT AND THE MODIFICATION TENDED TO DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOW INCOME AND MODERATE INCOME PERSONS WE HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS IN THE STATE THAT IS THE INTENTION SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU HEAR FROM MY TONIGHT PRESERVE THE INTENTION OF SURPLUS LAND ACT TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO WHAT IS SPUR PLUS PROPERTY ANY PROPERTY THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DETERMINES A NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR THE CITY NEEDS DIDN'T MEAN THE PROPERTY IS NOT VALUABLE DIDN'T MEAN THE PROPERTY IN HAVE A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ANYWHERE OR NOTHING LIKE THAT JUST THAT THE COUNCIL DETERMINES THAT THAT PROPERTY IS NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR CITY USE DIDN'T MEAN IT IS NOT HELPFUL IF IT IS UM, PRIVATE SECTOR JOINT VENTURE WITH THE CITY OR SIMPLY ALL BY ITSELF THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAN ACHIEVE A LOT BETTER THAN THAT THE PRIVATE THAN THE CITY SO SURPLUS PROPERTY MEANS THE COUNCIL DETERMINES WE AS A CITY DON'T NEED THIS PROPERTY. PROCEDURALLY WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR SURPLUS PLAN WALK US THROUGH THROUGH THE PROCEDURES THAT IS IMPORTANT. THE FIRST ONE YOU HAVE TO DO AS CITY COUNCIL BEFORE YOU DISPOSE OF LAND BY SALE OR LEASE WHAT I MEAN BY LEASE ANY LEASE OWNED BY A PERSON, PRIOR TO DOING THAT SHOULD A ADOPT A RESOLUTION THAT THAT PROPERTY IS SURPLUS NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR THE CITY. AFTER YOU DO THAT NOTICES OF AVAILABILITY FOR THAT PROPERTIES ARE SENT TO THE STATE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND I'M GOING TO CALL THEM H CD A LIST OF HOUSING PROVIDED SO THOSE DEVELOPERS THAT ARE QUALIFIED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IN TERMS OF A GUY LIKE ME CAN'T DIE I'M GOING TO BE ONE OF THE HOUSING PROVIDERS ON THE LIST. SO H CD MAINTAINS A LIST THE CITY COUNCIL DETERMINES THE PROPERTY IS SURPLUS AND RESOLUTION TO THAT IT SENDS NOTICES OF AVAILABILITY TO ALL THE HOUSING PROVIDERS THAT CAN BE IN THE NUMBER OF HEARSAY WHAT A NEXT WAITING TO 60 DAYS IF ANYONE SAYS NO, NO DEVELOPING OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AN THAT SITE AND IN MOST CASES FRANKLY THE PROPERTY VALUE YOU DON'T GET RESPONSES AFTER. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO DEVELOP ANY ATTORNEY WILL TELL YOU THAT. >> SO UM, AND - WE SURPLUS QUITE A BIT OF THE PROPERTY AND HAVE TO WAIT. IF SOMEONE SAYS NO, I'M INTERESTED IN NEGOTIATING FOR THE PURCHASE OF THAT PROPERTY WE CAN DEVELOP AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON THAT SITE, THE CITY HAS AN OBLIGATION DO NEGOTIATE A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS AND THIS IS IMPORTANT SO WHEN YOU'RE NEGOTIATING NEGOTIATING WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT LIFESTYLE AND THE PRICE FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY? THINGS OF THAT NATURE THE FACT THAT THE SURPLUS LAND REQUIRES THAT A CITY OR ANY OTHER PUBLIC KNIT DON'T MEAN THEY THAT MUST SELL THE PROPERTY THE DETERMINES IS NOT MEAN THAT THE CITY MUST THEREAFTER, SELL THE PROPERTY. THAT'S THE FIRST STEP ONCE AGAIN GOING TO WHERE I STARTED WITH THE IDEA TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY PROVIDERS TO DO JUST THAT IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. ALSO IN THE YOU WOULDN'T 90-DAY NOT A SUFFICIENT EXCUSE FOR MY PUBLIC ENTITY TO SAY AT THAT TIME NOT RESIDENTIAL SO WE'RE NOT AN AVAILABLE OPTION FOR ANY CITY AND COUNTIES TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION ALL RIGHT. SO GOING BACK TO BASICS ONCE AGAIN BEFORE ANY PROPERTY IS DISPOSED OF THE COUNCIL MUST MAKE A DETERMINATION SURPLUS PROPERTY AND SURPLUS PROPERTY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AS A PROPERTY IT DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER TO SEND OUT NOTICES OF AVAILABILITY TO NEGOTIATE FOR A PERIOD OF NOT LESS THAN 30 DAYS NOT AND IN MY DETERMINATION REALLY ONLY ONE POSSIBILITY HERE TO CLASSIFY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE RIVERFRONT PROPERTY FOR HOUSING PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 300-UNIT AND 25 PERCENT ARE SET ASIDE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE CITY COUNCIL FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ALL THE WORKSHOPS ARE CONDUCTED AND THAT IS, WE WANT TO PUT OUT ON RFP AND THE RFP HAS TO INCLUDE HOW THE DEVELOPERS AND THE WILL PROVIDE 300 UNITS AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THAT WILL BE THE RFP AND INCLUDE ANY OTHER ELEMENTS, OF COURSE, IF IT IS WHAT THE RFP IS AND IT IS BACK FROM THE PROVIDER IS THAT YEP WE'LL DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING AND THEN CAN BE CLARIFIED AS EXEMPT SURPLUS AND NOT HAVE TO BE PUT OUT TO THE HOUSING PROVIDERS FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR POSSIBLE PURCHASE ESSENTIALLY IT IS LOGICAL BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING YOU'RE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE SURPLUS LAND FUNCTION. SO UM, ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE FOR PURPOSES OF WORKSHOP THIS IS IMPORTANT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. WHERE YOU LAND ON THIS ISSUE WHAT EXACTLY THE CITY IS DOING SOMEBODY IS MAKING AN OFFER WHY ARE YOU NOT ACTING ON THE OFFER THE REASON IS SIMPLE THE SURPLUS SURPLUS LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT UNTIL TIME THE LAND HAS BEEN DETERMINED SURPLUS THIS IS THE AVAILABILITY THAT IS IN TERMS OF WAIT OUT SEVERAL DAYS TO EFFECTIVELY NEGOTIATE WITH SOMEONE FOR THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE CITY PERSPECTIVE SO UM, DURING OUR WORKSHOPS, YOU KNOW, WAS BEING CONSIDERED BY THE PUBLIC IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT IS THE BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY SURPLUS ALLOWS THE CITY TO CONSIDER WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PROPERTY THE DEVELOPMENT? THE KEEPING IT THE WAY IT IS OR AN RFP MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING? THOSE ARE APPROPRIATE CONSIDERATIONS THAT'S CAN WE'RE DOING DURING THE WORKSHOPS THE IDEA IS NOT TO NEGOTIATE IN A KIND OF PURCHASE OF A SALE BUT NOT POSSIBLE AFTER COMMENTS PRIOR TO THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE CONCERNED THAT THE COUNCIL ON A REGULAR MEETING WILL SELL THE PROPERTY NOT THE CASE. AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A LOT OF PROCESS HAS TO OCCUR AND IN THE PROCESS IS ENGAGING THE PUBLIC AND IN A NUT SHELL THAT'S WHAT IT DOES I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> COUNCILMEMBER. >> THANK YOU AND THAT'S A GOOD MEMO YOU WROTE BUT WITH THE SURPLUS WITH EXCEPTIONS AND I READ IT IT SAYS IF YOU SEND IT OUT FOR OVER TO ONE OF THE PEOPLE ONE OF THE GROUPS AND THEY DON'T MAKE AN OFFER AND YOU THEN SELL IT TO A THIRD PARTY AND THE THIRD PARTY BUILDS 10 UNITS OR MORE OF HOUSING THEY THEN HAVE TO INCLUDE CC AND C AGAINST THE PROPERTY IS THAT ACCURATE OR? >> I'M NOT TRYING TO- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> NO, NO, NO THE REASON THAT CONCERNS ME THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL A MIXED-USE INTO RESIDENTIAL I ASKED SPECIFICALLY THE GENTLEMAN IN FRANCE AT THAT TIME, THEY SAID WE NEED THAT THAT WILL HELP TO PROVIDE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THE DECISIONS WE PUT IN SO I WANT TO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THAT IN YOUR STAFF REPORT DIDN'T NEED TO BE SOLD WITH RESTRICTIONS THAT'S NOT EXACTLY RIGHT. >> YOU'RE CORRECT I HAVE THE DRAFT WITH SOME GENERALITY BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ANY PROPERTY SOLD AND THE SALE IS THE PROVISION OF HARVEY ROSE AND, YES AN OBLIGATION FOR DEED RESTRICTIONS RECORDED THAT WOULD REQUIRE CERTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO IT IS CORRECT A TRUE STATEMENT. >> NOT TO SAY YES, A GREAT IDEA OR A BAD IDEA BUT AN IMPORTANT POSSIBILITY OF THE PROJECT AS IT GOES ALONG BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF FUNDING FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUNDING ANTICIPATEERS BUT IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW A POSH CAN EXIST AND SOMETHING PUBLIC SCHOOL CONSIDERED AND THE COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER IT AS WELL. >> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN PRIOR TO PUBLIC COMMENT? >> I'M GOING. >> IF I. >> YEAH. >> TALK ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS WILL GO WE SET THIS UP TWO COMPONENTS THE FIRST IS ALL OF SURPLUS PROPERTY AND AS WITH ALL AGENDA ITEMS IN THE COUNCIL MEETING WE HAVE AN EXPLICIT COMMENT ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO AFTER THE PRESENTATION TO SPEAK AND ONCE THE PRESENTATION IS RECEIVED FROM THE FOLKS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT TO THE COUNCIL ON EITHER 3 A OR B I APPRECIATE OR I'M SORRY THREE OR FOUR WE APPRECIATE IF YOU FILL OUT A BLUE CARD IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM SO WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE TALK IN AN ORDERLY FASHION. >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> YES. >> I IT SLIPPED MY MIND I'M GETTING OLD. THE COUNCIL HAS TO MAKE A FINDINGS THE PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE BLUE PROPERTY NO LONGER - I GUESS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS A LEASE WITH A RODEO GROUNDS SEALED IT IS USED FOR THE PUBLIC HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT FINDING AND SAY LEASE FOR NEGOTIATION FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER HOW DO THOSE LEASES FIT IN WITH THE ABILITY THE COUNCIL TO DECLARE SOMETHING AS SURPLUS PROPERTY. >> AN INTERESTING QUESTION AND A FRANKLY, I HAVE TO THINK HARDER ABOUT IT THAN I'M ABLE TO DO RIGHT NOW. >> YOU HAVE 3 MORE QUESTIONS AND CAN COME BACK. >> (LAUGHTER.) >> HONESTLY AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION. >> AND THE OTHER RELATED ISSUE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC VIEWS. I MADE A LIST NOT EXHAUSTIVE BUT WROTE A LIST: COOLER NIGHTS, FOURTH OF JULY A PUBLIC USE AND PROGRAM AND THE OUTSIDE THEATRE. SO NO PUBLIC USE. HOW DID THAT FIT IN WITH THOSE PARTICULAR ITEMS? >> WE NEED AN EXPLANATION. >> YEAH. IT WILL HELP A LITTLE BIT. IT IS NOT THAT AS OF THE DAY THE COUNCIL ADOPTS A RESOLUTION TO DECLARE THE PROPERTY SURPLUS THERE ARE HARD CASES BUT ESSENTIALLY SAYING THE PROPERTY IS NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC USE FOR EXAMPLE, I MEAN, WE WILL HAVE CITY PROPERTY THAT HAS OTHER VALUES ON IT AND STILL MAYBE USED FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE NOT THAT SOLD AT THIS TIME CLEARLY WE'RE SUGGESTING IT IS CURRENT PUBLIC USE BUT THE COUNCIL HAS DETERMINED NO LONGER NECESSARY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> IN THEORY THE COUNCIL DETERMINES THE CONVENTION GROUNDS WORE NO LONGER NEEDED FOR PUBLIC USE THAT APPLIES TO THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION IS NO LONGER - >> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF -- >> (MULTIPLE VOICES). >> WOULD THAT IMPLY THAT OR NOT AND PUBLIC CAN'T USE IF SOMEONE ONES IT YOUR EXPLICIT FINDING THE FIREWORKS IS NOT NECESSARY. >> WELL, I DON'T KNOW THEY ARE NECESSARY AS THAT WORD IS USED NOW CERTAINLY DESIRABLE ALL BE DESIRABLE BUT NECESSARY. IN TERMS OF IN THE PUBLIC AND THE CITY CAN CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH WITHOUT THAT PROPERTY OR FOR EXAMPLE, WITHOUT A FIREWORK DISPLAY WE CAN PROVIDE SERVICES THAT GOES, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING CONCERTS AND PROVIDING RODEOS AND CERTAINLY DESIRABLE BUT ARE THEY NECESSARY? >> AND I'M TALKING ABOUT. >> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LEGAL TERMS, LEGAL TERMS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT VERY MUCH. >> I LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE GREAT TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT SURPLUS PROPERTY AND REQUIRES FOR A CITY COUNCIL AND THE SECOND WORKSHOP WILL TALK ABOUT THE GENERAL DISCUSSIONS WHAT IS PLANNING LOOK LIKE THE GENERAL PLAN LOOK LIKE AS IT IS RELATED TO THAT AREA AND THE THIRD WORKSHOP I THINK MORE INTO THE SAME THE DISCUSSION WE PLAN TO HAVE NOW IS THERE ARE AS YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF PROPERTY HERE BUT ALSO RESTRICTIONS ALREADY THAT WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT THAT ARE GOING TO BE TALKED ABOUT ON THE THIRD WORKSHOP. THAT IS KIND OF LIKE RIGHT NOW WE'RE DANGLING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WE KNOW WILL BE ISSUES TO UNDERSTAND BETTER AS IT RELATES TO THE TOTAL INVOLVEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT ARE SITTING THERE AND AT THAT TIME WHEN THE RESEARCH IS COMPLETED WHERE WE KNOW WHERE ALL THE COVENANT DEED RESTRICTIONS AND EVERYTHING IS FISHERMAN'S WHARF LAID OUT AND APPLIES TO EVERY SIMPLY PIECE OF PROPERTY WE OWN I FEEL WE'RE PUTTING PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, YOU KNOW, ABOUT AND WE JUST WE NEED TO DO THIS IN A SEQUENTIAL WAY GREAT TO HAVE INTERESTS IN WHAT COURTNEY WITH REGARDS TO THE SURPLUS PROPERTY. WE KNOW WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS ARE AND WHAT THAT ARE A PROCESS WE HAVE TO GO ON AND THEN HOW DOES THAT WORK? HOW THAT ALL FITS IN SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN AT THE FOURTH WORKSHOP. >> COUNCILMEMBER. >> WE ARE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE AND FINDING THIS TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL HERE AND THE NECESSITY I ALWAYS LOOK AT IT AS I WANT OR NEED? >> I WANT A FIREWORK SHOW BUT DON'T NEED ONE. I CAN HAVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE IF I WANT I'M I WANT WHAT YOU WANT SO - I'LL STICK WITH A WHAT WE'RE SAYING. >> ALL RIGHT. WITHOUT BEING CONDUCTING OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND THERE ARE BLUE CARDS IN THE BACK AND IN THE CHAMBERS IF YOU LIKE TO HAVE THOSE FOR A BUT READ OFF - >> (CALLING NAMES.) >> I DON'T KNOW.

MARY, I ON YOU DESCRIBED IT WELL WHEN WE LOOK AT PROJECTS THE PROPERTY DIDN'T MATTER EVERYTHING AROUND THE SITE IS AMAZING I WANT TO SHOW A FEW OF THOSE ON VIDEO WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE PROJECTS AROUND THE WORLD AND IT IS QUITE AMAZING AND FORTUNATE TO DEVELOP AND WORK ON PROJECT WAS THE COMMUNITY I LOVE POINT COMMUNITY IS HERE AND LOVE THE PEOPLE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE WE WANT ALL IT IS WHAT MAKES GOOD PROJECTS SO ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS HAVE A SPECIAL PROJECTS GLOBALLY THEY'LL COME HOME THE DODGES THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS BUILT AND FEW REMEMBER THE SITE NOTHING THERE LITERALLY NOTHING AND IT WAS A PARTNERSHIP BEFORE P-3 WAS A THING AND THE CITY GAVE THE GRANITES THE LAND. AND AT THAT TIME THAT WAS REVOLUTIONARY - YOU HAVE TO GET PEOPLE TO THE WATER SHED THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL BUT FOR A MOMENT THIS VERY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE DESIGNING A PARK AROUND INTO THE WATER IN PUBLIC LAND. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS AND SO THIS IS WHAT OUR COMPANY LOOKS FOR THAT RAZOR THING TO TAKE A MLB WE CAN CREATE SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T EXIST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL AND THE OTHER ASPECT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW PUBLIC ACCESS WAY IN THE MLB THE IDEA YOU CAN STAND AND WATCH A GAME HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND ULTIMATELY YOU GET MOMENTS LIKE THIS; RIGHT? WHEN YOU DESIGN IS THIS HAPPENS AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS THIS WHERE PEOPLE LOVE TO BE WE DESIGN THE VESSELS FOR PEOPLE TO COME TOGETHER TO MAKE MONEY AND REALLY PEOPLE ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR SPECIAL MOMENTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD SO STICKING WITH THE P-3 THIS WAS A 2 AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS PROJECT. AND AUSTRALIA AND CANADA SHOWS HOW IT COMES TOGETHER THIS IS A HOTEL AND EXHIBITION THEATRE AND SETTING THIS WAS CITY'S EASIEST TO BE AND ALL AUSTRALIA THE GOVERNMENT WAS EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT WE WENT HAVE NOT DESIGN STAGE WE DESIGNED ALL THE BUILDINGS AND PROVIDE MORE PUBLIC SPACE BACK TO THE CITY THEY WERE HAPPY AND MOST LIKELY HOW A PROJECT BEGINS THIS CAN CONTRIBUTE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN WAYS WE'VE NOT DISCOVERED THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT. SO SOME PEOPLE ASKED ME HOW THIS START A FEW YEARS WHEN P-3 WERE WORKING DOWNTOWN AND ALLEN CALLED ME HEY WE NEED YOUR HELP, WE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PROJECTS AND AGAIN, FOR ME EXCHANGED THE TEAM ON MORE BROADLY AND, YES WE HAVE A PROJECT TO DO AND THINK ABOUT DOWNTOWN IN GENERAL WHAT WE WANT DOWNTOWN TO BECOME AND WE HAD A DESIGN TEAM AND CAME HERE HAD WORK SHOP AND CAME UP WITH IDEAS BIG AND BROAD.

SO AGAIN NOT WE HAVE A LOT OF WHAT IF THIS IS THE START OF THE PROGRESS ONE PLUS ONE EQUALS 3 WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROCESS. >> SHORTLY THIS I'M SHORT. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE TOUCHED ON HOW LONG THIS USUALLY TAKES BUT I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS IN A FEW BIGGER CHUNKS WHERE WE'RE KIND OF FEELING THINGS OUT; RIGHT? TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING OUT THERE AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PUT OUT IDEAS TO SAY HEY WE'RE INTERESTED IN DOING THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF HAS TO HAPPEN AND A LOT OF TIME WILL PASS AND HOPEFULLY NOT ANOTHER FY2020-2021 BUT GETTING PEOPLE INVOLVED THAT BY 2022 OR 23, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE THINKS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA AND COULD TAKE A YEAR OR LONGER DEPENDS ON ALL THE FACTORS INVOLVED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OTHER THINGS THAT IS JUST PLANNING AT THAT TIME AND THERE ARE OTHER THINGS NOTE NEED TO HAPPEN IN BETWEEN OTHER CITY COUNCIL SECTIONS AND THEN WE CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE THOSE PROJECTS CAN GET CON AND WHENEVER THEY ARE THAT'S THE WHOLE ANOTHER 10 OR 20-YEAR PERIOD WE'RE INVESTED AND I HAVE GOOD NEWS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY CITY THAT IS LOOKING AT PROJECTS I WANT TO SHARE STORIES CENTER OTHER CITIES BUT I THINK MIGHT BE INSPIRATIONAL FOR DOROTHY AND HER LITTLE RED SHOES I THINK THAT ALSO IT IS WELL KNOWN FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY BUT THEY HAD A PROBLEM TRYING TO KEEP THEY'RE YOUNG PEOPLE IN DOWNTOWN AND SUPPORT AN INDUSTRY THAT WAS THERE AVIATION AND MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES AND IN TOWN HAD A LARGE PARCELS OF LAND IN DOWNTOWN AGING AND IMPORTANT WAYS TO TAKE CARE OF THEM THEY ESSENTIALLY REVITALIZED 70 ACRES ON THE RIVER FRONT THAT WAS GIVING BACK A 10-ACRE PARK TO THE DOWNTOWN THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE AND PUT THE LAND TO WORK AT THING TO BUILD THE RIGHT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT AND WITH OTHER FOLKS IN THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY TO ESSENTIALLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN AND GENERATE REVENUE TWO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THE SECOND EXAMPLE IS FROM BRAND RAPIDS MICHA PROFIT MAKING BUT REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT GRAND RAPIDS HAVE THE GRAND RIVER HISTORICALLY USED TO MOVE FURNITURE AND OTHER ITEMS BACK IN THE EARLY 1800S AND ALL THE HE WILL 19 HUNDREDS WHAT HAPPENED WAS THEY CREATE A SERIES OF DAMS AND RIVERS AND 15 YEARS AGO DECIDED THAT WAS WHAT IF WE MOVED ALL THE DAMS WOULD HAVE THIS COOL WHITE WATER CONDITION ADOPT AND FAST FORWARD TWO CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES HAS A WHITE WATER CONDITION THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN REALLY AMAZING EXPERIENCE. AND THEY THAT APPROACHED US HEY WHAT CAN WE DO WE WORKED WITH THEM TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO ASSIST THEIR ECOLOGY PRESENTATION TO TAKE OUT DAMS AND HABITATS WE PUT ALONG THE RIVER AND DO DEVELOPMENT WILL SUPPORT AND FUND THEIR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROPERTY PROGRAM I THINK A COUPLE OF WEEKS WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING AND THE PROGRAMS.
