4. MATTERS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & STAFF
A. Manarino Realty Exclusive Negotiating Agreement
On November 28, 2006, the Community Development Commission approved an Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with Manarino Realty for the development of the 6-acre site
located at the northeast corner of Temple City and Valley Boulevards. The ENA provided
an initial six month time period within which the Commission and Mr. Manarino would work
to develop a development agreement setting forth the specific terms related to project
economics including any proposed subsidy, property acquisition, and the development of
the 6-acre site. Based upon the progress made over the initial six month period, Mr.
Manarino requested a 45-day extension (which was included in his original ENA with City)
to finalize the project deal points before presenting them to the Commission.
Over the last 45 days, Mr. Manarino presented staff with a list of deal points that would
require the City to take the lead role in property acquisition and included a preliminary
project proforma showing a multi-million dollar subsidy from the City to pay for property
acquisition and other expenses related to attracting desired retailers, restaurants, and
grocery uses to this site.
Based on that assessment, staff believes that the high land values and costs of
assemblage would make it difficult to complete the project without a large subsidy from the
City. While Mr. Manarino has made significant progress over the last several months, staff
does not believe that the City is in a financial position to be able to provide a subsidy of
that magnitude.
Recommendation: That the Community Development Commission allow the ENA
between the Commission and Manarino Realty to expire and entertain any new
development proposals for the site at the northeast corner of Temple City and Valley
Boulevards as they arise.
5. ADJOURNMENT
The next Community Development Commission meeting will take place on August 28, 2007 at 6:00 pm.
