To assist in the development, the City <br />structured a subvention payment not to exceed 50% of the net new site - specific tax revenues generated <br />by the Project over a 25 -year period. Based on RSG's analysis, the City Council approved a subvention <br />of up to $25 million in exchange for expediting the Project into a single phase, and generating about <br />1,300 new permanent jobs for the West Valley. <br />Contact: Ivania Sobalvarro, Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst <br />213.473.5745 <br />Oscar Ixco, Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst <br />213.473.5705 <br />RSG Staff: Jim Simon, Tara Matthews, and Brandon Fender <br />PROPERTY DISPOSITION AND MARKETING PLAN (GENERAL OFFICE AND RETAIL) - CITY <br />OFATASCADERO <br />The former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Atascadero owned a high -value property former utilized <br />as a temporary city hall after an earthquake damaged the historic city hall a number of years ago. The <br />property has been vacant for some time. The City retained RSG to determine the uses that would result in <br />the maximum value or sales price for the property as well as uses that would act as a catalyst for <br />economic development in the community. RSG conducted a market study, identified feasible potential <br />uses for the property, completed pro forma analyses to determine which uses would be financially <br />feasible, and finally presented 3 development options for the property. RSG staff identified the strengths <br />and unique character of the community in concert with the market study. The market analysis determined <br />that uses that reach consumer outside of the city limits (i.e., regional draw) were the most effective option <br />for the property. The final report also contained a marketing plan for the effective disposition of the <br />property. <br />The report was presented to the City Council and a community /council workshop is planned for January <br />2015. <br />Contact: Jeri Rangel, Director of Administrative Services <br />1Y01-11EININCERN <br />RSG Staff: Hitta Mosesman and Dima Galkin <br />GRAND AVENUE LOS ANGELES - CITY OF LOS ANGELES <br />RSG was retained by the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst in February 2014 following the approval <br />bey the Grand Avenue Authority (GAA) of the Related Companies /Gerhy Partners conceptual site plan and <br />4h amendment to the disposition and development agreement.
