AGENCY CONSIDERATION:
2. RESOLUTION APPROVING AN EXTENSION OF THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE
AGREEMENT WITH CENTURY THEATRES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CINEPLEX ON THE
THIRD AND LOOTENS STREETS PARKING STRUCTURE (RA) - File R-407
Senior Planner Katie Korzun reported the Agency entered into an Exclusive
Right to Negotiate with Century Theatres a year ago, and they have been
working diligently to define the project. She stated this has not yet been
completed, as it has been a very complicated project, noting they have been
looking at different size theaters, different theater mixes, and different
properties and parking solutions. She stated that while they were close,
they did not yet have a firm project description. Therefore, staff
proposed extending the Exclusive Right to Negotiate for an additional sixty
days, using that time to develop a workable project.
Ms. Korzun explained a workable project submittal would include all the
traffic and parking reports reviewed and accepted by the City; a
description of the theater itself, including its size, number of seats, and
hours of operation; and preliminary site plans and floor plans of the
theater itself. Staff would then bring the plan back to the Agency for
review, and if the Agency Members agreed that it was a workable plan, staff
would extend the Exclusive Right to Negotiate again, and go into
development of the DDA (Disposition and Development Agreement).
