ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS RELATED THERETO

the joint public hearing of the Community Redevelopment Agency and
the City of Santa Ana for the proposed sale of property by the
Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana to Santora
Partners and environmental findings in relation thereto.
.
Chairman Ward returned to the meeting.
The Vice Chairman requested staff to identify the property or
issues and give staff recommendation. The Agency's Real Estate
Officer stated that the site is bounded on the north by Third
Street, on the west by a line 125 feet west of Sycamore, on the
south by a line 100 feet south of Third Street and on the east by
Sycamore; subject property consists of two parcels: one improved
with a two-story brick structure, referred to as the Mission
parcel, and the second, currently vacant, referred to as the Singer
parcel; the purpose of development is to provide a parking area for
the Santora Building; estimated development cost is $25,000. Staff
recommends approval of the two resolutions and the proposed budget.
.
The Executive Director reported that while this Disposition and
Development Agreement is with Santora Partners, another agreement
with Santora Partners will follow in approximately three or four
months to do the remaining work necessary to bring the Santora
Building up to code. This amount of work is estimated to run in
excess of $600,000. He further explained that the parking lot must
occur first, as the owner of the Santora Building has had
difficulty in leasing out space in his building due to a lack of
parking.

requested to hear from the public in agreement with the
environmental findings or the proposed sale. The following people

asked the members of the Agency if they had any questions or

available.
There being no
public hearing.
the
Vice Chairman closed the
further
comments,
Mr. Bricken commented that just getting the Mission out of the
downtown is not going to correct the problems. The real problems
are all of the bars and flophouses that exist.

the downtown, and he is supportive of any businessman who is
willing to contribute his efforts to the community.
