EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to convey a 3,675 -square-foot temporary construction easement (TCE) to Faircoll, LLC (Faircoll), for construction improvements at the City -owned real property at 4915 Fossil Boulevard, which is the location of the South Transit Center. Faircoll is the owner of the adjacent property and as part of the development of apartments at its property, Faircoll is required to install permanent pedestr ian connections from its property to the South Transit Center. The TCE grants Faircoll access and permission to perform this work on the City’s South Transit Center property at no cost to the City. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Faircoll is the owner of the property adjacent and to the east of the South Transit Center. As a condition of final approval of the apartment development plans for Faircoll’s property, the City is r equiring Faircoll to install permanent pedestrian pathway connections from its property to existing pedestrian pathways at the South Transit Center in two locations. To perform the construction of these pathways, Faircoll needs access to two locations on the South Transit Center property. The area at the northeast corner is 2,800 square feet and the area at the southeast corner is 875 square feet. Both areas together equal 3,675 square feet. The TCE contains the permission, conditions, and requirements for Faircoll to perform the construction on the City’s property. The cost of materials and construction of the new permanent connecting pathways on the South Transit Center will be the responsibility of Faircoll. The City will incur no cost. Upon co mpletion, these improvements will become the City’s property and, therefore, are the compensation to the City in exchange for the TCE because the improvements are equal to, or exceed, the fair market value of the TCE. The TCE will commence on the date the development plans are approved by the City Department of Planning, Development, and Transportation and will terminate upon completion of the construction, or June 30, 2024, whichever is earlier. In the event Faircoll withdraws its development application or the application is denied, the TCE will terminate immediately. ATTACHMENTS 1.
