Chairman Boro declared the public hearing opened.
Stephanie Lovette, Economic Development Coordinator stated that this item was an extension of a lease on Rice
Drive. The property had been leased to R.A.B. Motors since November, 2004. In 2004, the Redevelopment Agency
solicited bids from all local auto dealers and surrounding property owners and R.A.B. Motors was the winning bidder.
The Agency staff proposed extending the lease for one year with three one-year extensions under the same terms
and conditions as the existing lease.
Ms. Lovette noted that the Zoning Administrator issued a temporary Use Permit for the facility which ends in
October, 2009. The original reason for the temporary Use Permit was because staff believed Caltrans would be
surplussing their property by this date and there would be a buildable site in combination with the R.A.B. site, the
City's site and Caltrans. That did not happen; therefore, staff was requesting a lease extension. Staff also was
requesting the Agency Board to request that the Zoning Administrator extend the temporary Use Permit to match the
lease time period.
There being no comment from the audience, Chairman Boro closed the public hearing.
Member Brockbank moved and Member Heller seconded to adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 2009-13 — RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONTINUATION OF LEASE BETWEEN THE
SAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND R.A.B. MOTORS, INC. FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT RICE DRIVE AND FRANCISCO BLVD. WEST
(APN 013-041-44) PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
33430 (one-year lease with three one-year extensions)
