Initial Findings
ARRA
Agenda Item 4 -A
12 -07 -2011
ement (coat.)
ARRA could use previous
Environmental Impact
Reports (EIR) to amend
the General Plan and
zoning consistent with
the Reuse Plan
Effects of entitlement
certainty on
enhancement of land
value and performance
Extent and timing of
involvement from
development community
to ensure market and
financial feasibility
Relationship between
entitlement certainty and
risk assumed by ARRA
Definition of the role of developer
— Advisor to ARRA
— Leader of the process
Methods for enhancing competition among
potential developers
Process for soliciting developers
— Request for Qualification
— Request for Qualification and Proposals
- Bidding process
Solicitation
and Transaction (cont,,)
Achieving balance between maximizing land
value and minimizing ARRA risk
Assurances of timely performance and
avoidance of land banking
Methods for contracting with developers to
achieve different approaches
- Professional Services Contract
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement
- Purchase and Sale Agreement
- Disposition and Development Agreement
Initial Findings (cont.)
m Given current economic conditions, obtaining
high-risk predevelopment capital may be
difficult and expensive and limit developer pool
Greater entitlement certainty prior to disposition
improves potential for community acceptance,
reduces risk, and enhances land value
• Early involvement by the development
community helps ensure market and financial
feasibility of entitlements
N A competitive disposition process can enhance
land value and possibly development plan
Initial Findings (cont.)
• Any phased disposition process needs to
carefully account for the planning,
infrastructure, and transportation needs of
future phases
• While ARRA funds could help pay for some
entitlements, other low-cost funds should be
obtained, if an ARRA entitlement effort is
undertaken
ARRA and other funds could be directly
reimbursed through a transaction with the
developer(s)
