An acquisition agreement for $299,070. 2. A relocation agreement with Johnson Chapel. 3. An agreement with Gates Development for $129,656 for costs associated with relocation of the Hispanic Worship of the Johnson Chapel church; and 4. An agreement transferring the vacant City property at 1309 W. Second Street to the Johnson Chapel. DISCUSSION The Bristol Corridor Specific Plan, approved by the City Council in 1992 includes street improvements on Bristol Street from Pine Street to Third Street. These improvements are needed to improve traffic flow, which is currently operating at an unacceptable level of service. To accommodate the widening, it is necessary to acquire a portion of the Church property located at 1306 W. Second Street and 204 N. Bristol Street (Exhibit 1). The appraised value for the portion of the church property is $472,470. The City vacant lot was appraised at $173,400. The remaining balance due to the Johnson Chapel is $299,070. The City's acquisition will also result in the displacement of the Hispanic Worship Center operated by the Johnson Chapel at 1306 W. Second Street. The existing building will be demolished and a replacement will eventually be constructed by the Johnson Chapel on another part of the remaining site. 25J-1 Agreements For Johnson Chapel Property (Project 1819) May 1, 2006 Page 2 The Uniform Relocation Assistance Act requires the City to find a replacement site and to pay the costs associated with the relocation of the displaced church until their new building is completed. An extensive search found no available replacement sites in the immediate vicinity to accommodate their needs. Ci ty staff recommends providing a relocation site for their fellowship hall at the City owned property, the former All Auto Parts store, located at 124 S. Bristol. Johnson Chapel will utilize this site, until their new church facility at 1306 and 1309 W. Second Street is completed in 18 months. To facilitate this relocation, Gates Development Co. has prepared plans for improvements to the All Auto Parts that are satisfactory to the Church. In order to pay the costs associated with this move, a contract with Gates Development Co. for the amount of $129,656 is needed. Johnson Chapel has agreed to assign their relocation benefits directly to Gates Development Co. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been determined to be adequately evaluated in previously prepared Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Assessment EIR No. 89-01 approved by City Council in 1990. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for the proposed acquisitions are available in the Select Street Construction Fund (account no. 59-551-6611, project no. 1819) and Measure M Fund (account no. 32-551-6631).
