Approval of 18th and Eye Street Parking Structure as a Redevelopment project. a) Upon request of Chairman Lewis, the Secretary read a memorandum from the Special Committee regarding plans and specifications for the proposed parking structure at 18th and Eye Streets. Mr. Kelmar stated that the report from Katz, Hollis, Coren & Associates was incorrect. The consultants reviewed various alternative sizes for the garage, and prepared three scenarios, one for a structure of 276 parking spaces, another being 359 spaces, and a third of 510 parking spaces. He stated that the deficit that would be incurred by the 510 space structure is way beyond what the City considers reasonable at this time. The economics of the 276 and 359 parking space alternatives are within reason, based upon the report that was prepared by QUAD Consul- tants, as far as the benefits that would result from the additional parking. Mr. Kelmar suggested that the Agency approve the recommendations, and go out to bid for the 510 space structure as well as the other alternatives, and when bids are received then a determination can be made as to the size structure that should be built. Mr. Lewis questioned whether the 510 is a good projection of future needs. Mr. Kelmar stated that the City doesn't have a public parking structure to provide experience for this project. Mr. Kelmar suggested that the Agency go ahead with the action, with a determination not to be made at this point as the size of the garage until the actual bids come in. to Mr. Moore made a motion that the Agency amend the memorandum received from the Special Committee of the Agency regarding, The approval of the 18th and Eye Street Parking Structure as a Redevelopment Project, with the recommendations of the Executive Director Incorporated, that we will go on bid on the three scenarios 276, 359 and 510 parking space structure and then make a decision at a later time as to which one would economically benefit the City. Mr. Lewis questioned the change in the cost factor. Mr. Kelmar stated that the projections include a ten-year projection assuming 8 percent inflation increase in both revenue and cost. Mr. Bilas seconded the motion. AYES: Lewis, Moore, NOES: None ABSENT: Clausen Bilas, Richardson, Mooneyham b) Mr. Alex Magana from Conrad Associates was present and gave a report regarding the parking structure design and manage- ment. He also stated thaf after making the preliminary studies as to the cost of the construction, it was determined that the structure over the adjoining property would be inappropriate because of cost. Mr. Richardson questioned the height in comparison to the other buildings. Mr. Magana stated that the 510 space building is six stories, and each story is ten feet in height. The building to the east is three stories and the building to the west is three stories higher than the proposed parking structure. Each level will hold approximately 78 cars. Mr. Mooneyham made a motion to adopt Resolution No. RA10-82 making certain findings in relation to the construction of a public parking facility in the downtown Redevelopment project, and adopt the negative declaration finding that no significant environmental impact would occur as a result of this project.
