SUBJECT: Resolution of the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency approving the conveyance of a parcel of real property to the City of San Rafael for public improvement activities related to ownership and management of a parking facility, and making findings pursuant to State law in connection therewith. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Agency adopt the attached resolution approving the property transfer of the Third and C Street garage and authorizing the Executive Director to execute a grant deed conveying the site to the City. BACKGROUND: Since the need for more parking Downtown was identified in 1999, the City and the Agency have been cooperating in the construction of a new garage at Third and C Streets. The garage was completed and opened to the public on May 14, 2005. Currently, the garage site is owned by the Agency as the initial site acquisitions began in the late 1970's and were completed in 2002. The structure however is owned by the City and was financed though the issuance of revenue bonds by the San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority. The proposal under consideration is to consolidate the ownership of the lot and structure by transferring the property from the Agency to the City rather than a direct sale. Under the provision of California Community Development Law, the Agency may pay all or part of the value of the land for a publicly owned facility if specific findings are made. To make the transfer, the Agency must approve the transfer and the City approve the receipt of the property under a separate action at tonight's City Council meeting. ANALYSIS: Consolidation of the site and facility ownership under the City is a benefit to the Project Area and the immediate neighborhood as the City operates and manages all the public parking Downtown, including the lots, structures and on -street spaces. The City's Parking Services Division manages parking as a unified whole and addresses parking needs for the entire commercial portion of Downtown.
