MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, COMMUNICATION FROM THE LOS ANGELES ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (EWDD) and RESOLUTION relative to the transfer of City-owned property located at 9402-9422 South Broadway (Site) for reuse value to 94th and Broadway, LLC for construction and operations of a full-service supermarket.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. HOLD a public hearing as required by Government Code Section 53083 and 53343 regarding the proposed below market sale of an approximately 89,824 square foot City-owned property located at the Site.
   
   
2. FIND under the California Public Resources Code, Section 21166 and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), on the basis of substantial evidence contained in the whole record, that since the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (ENV-2011-1451-MND) by the City Planning Commission on September 22, 2011, for a mixed housing and supermarket project (Project) which included the Project currently being proposed, there have been no changes to the Project, changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is being undertaken, or new information of substantial importance concerning the Project, which cause new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects in the Mitigated Negative Declaration and therefore no subsequent negative declaration, addendum or further environmental documentation is necessary; and ADOPT the Mitigated Negative Declaration (ENV-2011-1451-MND) filed on August 26, 2011.
   
   
3. ADOPT the accompanying Resolution authorizing the sale of the Site and making certain findings pursuant to Section 7.27.2 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code that the conveyance of the Site at reuse value: (i) serves a public purpose and is for the economic benefit of the City; and (ii) the consideration to be received by the City is not less than the fair reuse value of the Site with the terms and conditions imposed.
   
   
4. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, EWDD, to negotiate and execute a purchase and sale agreement, grant deed, covenant and related documents with 94th and Broadway, LLC, or an assignee acceptable to EWDD, for development and operations of the Site on terms consistent with this transmittal and to take such other actions as may be necessary to carry out the transaction, subject to the approval of City Attorney as to form and legality.
   
   
5. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, EWDD, to negotiate, execute, and amend documents necessary to address security and intercreditor arrangements between the City and 94th and Broadway, LLC's future tax credit investors and lenders that may be required for 94th and Broadway, LLC to reasonably finance development of the Project and are consistent with these actions, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.
   
   
6. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, EWDD, to prepare Controller Instructions and any necessary technical adjustments consistent with Mayor and Council actions, subject to the approval of the City Administrative Officer; and, AUTHORIZE the Controller to implement the instructions.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The EWDD reports that although the Site is being disposed of at a Fair Reuse Value of $1.00, the estimated $9.5 million investment in the Site will generate new property, sales, utility user and business taxes for the City of Los Angeles. Development of the Site will provide a net benefit to the City's General Fund through the improvement of a long vacant property which currently provides no tax benefit to the City. Conservative estimates of public revenue projections developed by outside consultant, Keyser Marston and Associates, estimate the City will collect approximately $3.8 million in the first twenty-five years.

The subject Site is a former asset of the City of Los Angeles' Redevelopment Agency (CRA/LA) and was transferred from CRALA's successor organization to the City in 2013 as a Housing Asset. In accordance with State law, assets acquired with housing funds must be used for housing and housing related support, or can be sold for other purposes if the sale proceeds are deposited into the City's Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (Fund) to further the City's affordable housing goals. Because this property is being developed for a full service grocery store, the City Attorney's Office advises that the Fund be reimbursed the Fair Market Value of the property. Therefore, over the next ten years, future budget allocations to the Fund up to a total of $3.54 million plus interest will be credited as reimbursement to the Fund for the Fair Market Value of the property.
