This consideration was in response to correspondence received indicat- ing an intention to sell their property. After substantial discussion it was determined that the Agency was not in a position to purchase the property since funds are limited at this time; the structure is not located in an area of the downtown that the Agency is currently targeting for redeve- lopment; and no plan exists for reuse of the build- ing. The Committee, however, feels that staff may assist through the referral of any interested party and consideration should be given to possible reuse of the property and redevelopment of the area in the future. It is therefore the recommendation of the Develop- ment Committee that the Agency approve these deter- minations and recommendations. Upon a motion by Agency Member Paynter, recommendations of Development Committee Report No. 87-4 were approved.

Discussion concerning proposed facility with possible liquor license across from downtown Bakersfield College. Agency Member Paynter read a letter to the Design Review Committee from Interim City Attorney Saalfield regarding a review and recommendation regarding alcoholic beverage permit applica- tion as follows: Under the Board's existing rules adopted by the Agency on January 25, 1977, the duties and respon- sibilities of the Board are to review development requiring esthetic and architectural judgment "to the end that the general appearance" deserve or enhance the physical environment and character. The Board has no authority to review the character or business of a proposed development or enterprise, its jurisdiction being limited to the bottom line issues of appearance. Whether or not a business should be issued an alcoholic beverage permit by the ABC is irrelevant to any esthetic or architec- tural issue before the Board and any recommendation by the Board on such permit would be inappropriate.
