Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Apr 19 2022
Title: Ordinance 22-04 Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes in a Community Facilities District, Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Stormwater) Presented By: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Adopt on Second Reading Ordinance 22-04, Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes in a Community Facilities District.
DISCUSSION:
The City has previously used Community Facilities Districts (“CFD”s) to finance specified maintenance and services on improvements related to new development. Tract 83178 (707 N Barranca Ave), consisting of one large lot parcel that will be developed into 151 residential townhomes, will require the City to maintain the offsite stormwater facilities related to this project, which will be installed by the developer. Following the successful formation of CFD No. 2022-1 (Stormwater), funding necessary to maintain the improvements, including longterm capital replacement costs, will come from the special taxes levied on the future residential units within the CFD. The developer has provided funds for the establishment of the CFD.
The property included in the CFD at formation is Tract 83178 (707 N Barranca Ave), consisting of one large lot parcel that will be developed into 151 residential townhomes. The initial maximum special tax rate is $287 per dwelling unit, which will increase annually by 5.0%.
The City Council has previously adopted a Resolution of Intention to Establish the CFD and a Resolution Establishing the CFD (following a noticed public hearing). The City Council has also conducted a Special Election on the CFD—in which the measure was approved by the landowner—and introduced and conducted the first reading of the Ordinance Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes. The second reading and adoption of the Ordinance Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes will be the final City Council action on this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs associated with the consultant services related to the CFD formation were paid by the developer.The annual levy and collection of special taxes and CFD administration will be charged to the CFD.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
The proposed activity of authorizing the levy of special taxes in a Community Facilities District is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b) (2) and (3), the general rule exemption, states that an activity is not subject to CEQA where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed activity do not authorize new developments that will create significant environmental impacts, nor does it either directly or indirectly disturb the physical environment. Therefore, no environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA.

Title: City of Covina Draft Child Care Pilot Program and Business Capital Assistance Programs Presented By: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Receive and file the draft program documents and information, and work through the City Attorney's office to finalize program compliance with the American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARPA) funding requirements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law The American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARPA). Included in this bill was $130.2 billion for local governments to provide area-specific assistance to respond to and mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their communities. Of this, the City of Covina will receive approximately $11,351,049 in total. On August 17, 2021, the Covina City Council adopted Resolution CC 2021- 99, accepting the ARPA funding allotment and appropriating the first tranche of funds towards a wide range of local programs & services.
At the direction of Council, staff have since designed four programs to provide direct assistance to businesses and households. The first of these programs, the Business License and Fee Forgiveness Program, was presented to Council on December 21, 2021, and is currently beginning implementation. The three additional programs for review tonight are the Child Care Pilot Program, Existing Business Working Capital Assistance Program, and New Business Working Capital Assistance Program. An overview of both the Existing and New Business Working Capital Assistance Programs can be found as Attachment B.
DISCUSSION:
Child Care Pilot Program Overview:
On average, working families in the U.S. with children under the age of five spend nearly 10% of their income on child care. As such, the City is aware that a major deterrent for parents returning to work or pursuing additional education is the high cost of child care. The Covina Child Care Pilot Program (Attachment A) is designed to subsidize the cost of child care to income-qualified families living in the City of Covina. Eligible families will demonstrate a financial need for a child care subsidy so that all household guardians may have the opportunity to either pursue higher education, expand their work hours to provide additional financial support to their household, or stabilize their household income and savings. It is estimated that approximately 17 children will be able to receive a 12-month subsidy over the life of the program.
For participating families, this program will cover 80% of monthly childcare costs, up to $1,200 per child and up to two children per family. For example, if one month of child care is $1,500 total, the City will pay 80% of this cost, which is $1,200. Payments will be made directly by the City to the eligible childcare provider. Parents will maintain responsibility for funding all remaining childcare costs. Eligible families will be able to receive the subsidy for 12 continuous months. Enrolled families will be required to recertify each month that they are working full time, or in school full time. Program pre-applications will be advertised soon, dependent on when program staffing and confirmed ARPA compliance are obtained.
Existing Business Working Capital Assistance Program:
Due to the safer at home emergency public health order in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, many nonessential local businesses have experienced a negative economic impact. In the State of California, as of June 2021, total small business revenue decreased by 43.4% compared to January 2020. The City is committed to continuing to provide assistance to local businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 by providing working capital assistance for existing businesses.
The purpose of the Existing Business Working Capital Assistance Program (Attachment C) is to allow for local businesses to expand business operations and/or revitalize an existing business. Businesses interested in this program must have a commercial storefront, and been operational by June 30, 2020. Qualifying businesses can use funds for business operations and improvements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Examples of eligible funding include; payment of outstanding business expenses, physical store improvements, and upgrades to machinery, equipment, furniture, and fixtures. This funding will not cover employee payroll. There is $250,000 available in grant funding, with a maximum of $25,000 allotted per business. It is estimated that ten businesses will be served through this program. Funding will be provided in the form of a reimbursable grant. Eligible businesses will need to demonstrate a financial loss due to COVID-19, by certifying that revenue has declined by 25% or more since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Program pre-applications will be advertised soon, dependent on when program staffing and confirmed ARPA compliance are obtained.
New Business Working Capital Assistance Program:
Similar to the previously described program, the New Business Working Capital Assistance Program (Attachment D) is designed to mitigate the negative financial impact of COVID-19 on property and small business owners in the City. This program will provide financial assistance to businesses to make improvements or help with startup costs in order to initiate business activities at a vacant location that was closed as a result of COVID-19. The purpose of this program is to allow for local businesses to expand or establish business operations and/or revitalize an existing business that was established after July 1, 2020 or later.
Businesses interested in this program must have a commercial storefront. Examples of eligible funding include; payment of licenses and permits, physical store improvements, advertising, and upgrades to machinery, equipment, furniture, and fixtures. This funding will not cover employee payroll. There is $200,000 available in grant funding, with a maximum of $10,000 allotted per business. It is estimated that twenty businesses will be served through this program. Funding will be provided in the form of a reimbursable grant. Eligible businesses will need their property owner to complete a justification statement form to explain how their property has been impacted by COVID-19. This includes vacancies due to tenants closing their operations, or difficulty filling empty storefronts due to the pandemic. Program pre-applications will be advertised soon, dependent on when program staffing and confirmed ARPA compliance are obtained.
FISCAL IMPACT:
ARPA funding for these programs was appropriated in Resolution CC 2021-99. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Childcare Subsidy Pilot Program
Program Background & Overview
Funding Background:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law The American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARPA).
Included in this bill is $130.2 billion for local governments to provide area-specific assistance to respond to and mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on their communities.
Of this, the City of Covina will receive approximately $11,351,049 in total, of which $5,675,000 has been received thus far.
On July 6, 2021, the Covina City Council adopted Resolution CC 2021-99, accepting the ARPA funding allotment and appropriating the first tranche of funds towards a wide range of local programs & services, including grant programs to support households and businesses.
Program Purpose & Description:
One such program activity approved by the Covina City Council is a childcare assistance program.
On average, working families in the U.S. with children under the age of five spend nearly 10% of their income on childcare.1 As such, the City is aware that a major deterrent for parents returning to work or pursuing additional education is the high cost of childcare.
This program will subsidize the cost of childcare to income-qualified families living in the City of Covina. Eligible families will demonstrate a financial need for a childcare subsidy so that all household parents may have the opportunity to either pursue higher education, expand their work hours to provide additional financial support to their household, or stabilize their household income and savings. It is estimated that approximately 17 children will be able to receive a 12-month subsidy over the life of the program.
The purpose of this program is to allow all household parents to advance their current or future financial standing by either working additional hours that would not be possible without

2 childcare, by attending an accredited school or vocational program on a full-time basis to prepare for a more lucrative career, or by lessening the financial burden that a family currently has by paying for childcare.
General Program Guidelines:
For participating families, this program will cover 80% of monthly childcare costs, up to $1,200 per child and up to two children per family. For example, if one month of childcare is $1,500 total, the City will pay 80% of this cost, which is $1,200. Payments will be made directly by the City to the eligible childcare provider. Parents will maintain responsibility for funding all remaining childcare costs. Eligible families will be able to receive the subsidy for 12 continuous months.
School-aged children (classified as those age five (5) or greater on or before September 1 of the school year) must be enrolled and attending a school registered with the National Center for Education Statistics through the U.S. Department of Education (Search For Schools and Colleges (ed.gov). If a child turns age five during the program period, they will be required to enter school at the beginning of the next school year if they are still to receive program funding for that period. Children up through age 12 are eligible to receive childcare through this program. This program funding is not intended to replace any available public schooling; rather, funding may be used for before & after school care for school-aged children, and for full-time childcare costs for those children not yet old enough for public school. Funding may be used for full-time childcare for school aged children during the summer vacation period.
Eligible childcare centers will need to provide a W-9 and CA 590 form, and be willing to accept payment from the City. The childcare center must be licensed with the State of California Department of Social Services. This may be determined by asking the facility for their nine-digit facility number, and checking that the facility matches the facility number provided on the state website: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/ . Applicants who are currently receiving other forms of childcare vouchers are not eligible for this program.
For the purposes of this program, parent means a biological parent, adoptive parent, stepparent, foster parent, caretaker relative, legal guardian, or domestic partner who has responsibility for the care and welfare of the child. Applicant(s) must have primary physical custody of the child they are requesting a subsidy for. All parents/guardians in the household will be required to provide proof of full-time work or the equivalent (i.e. two jobs totaling 40+ hours per week), or full-time school enrollment throughout the program. As an example, if a child is in a two-parent household, each parent must be either working full-time, or attending school fulltime. For those enrolling in school, proof of “C” or better grades will be required. Program participants who are unable to meet these requirements will be disenrolled from the program.
Income qualification for this program will be based on gross income as filed in the parents’ 2021 state and federal tax returns, and based on the most recently available income limits. All family members will be responsible for submitting documentation to prove program qualifications,
3 such as income and household composition. Gross income must be at or below 80% area median income for Los Angeles County for the most recently available year, currently 2021, in accordance with the chart below.
This description of program requirements is not fully inclusive, and is subject to change as program feedback is received. All interested parents are encouraged to complete a preapplication by XXXXXXX. It is anticipated that a lottery will be held to determine those who will receive a full application. A wait-list will be maintained to pull from for additional applicants should any of the original lottery picks not qualify for the program, or should future funding become available. Applicants chosen to move forward with the subsidy will have three months from date of acceptance to obtain full-time or full-time equivalent employment, provide proof of current full-time employment, or enroll in eligible full-time education. The subsidy will only begin once the parents have begun the previously described school or employment.
If the City, County, State, or Federal Government determines that the applicant family income information is not accurate, is over HUD’s income limits, is not eligible to receive funds per the program guidelines, or is disqualified from receiving federal assistance, all program services will cease immediately and any allocated funds will be due and payable immediately. Child care is a contract between the applicant/participant and provider. Any disputes arising or liability resulting from the participant-provider contract shall not involve the City of Covina in any way.
Acceptance of grant funds by the applicant does not guarantee continued grant fund disbursement if the applicant is found to be in violation of any portion of the grant agreement.
If your family is in interested in the City of Covina’s Child Care Subsidy Pilot Program, please complete the pre-application on our website, at covinaca.gov/childcaregrant.

Applicants who submit documentation that is misleading and/or false will be ineligible to move forward, and applicants who receive grant funds on the basis of false information will be required to pay back all grant funds, and may face further penalties.
Program Objectives
The Child Care Subsidy Pilot Program (Program) encourages:

• Financial support of existing child care businesses;
• Relief of negative impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Income Criteria
For the purposes of determining family size, family is defined as all persons who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship, who live in the same housing unit. Family annual income is defined as the total gross amount of income received from all sources by all adult individuals of the family, residing in the same household, who have earned or received income during the 12-month period prior to their application.
** As an example, a mother, step-father, 20-year-old child, 4-year-old child, and grandparent who live in the same home would qualify as a family of 5. Income would be required to be
5 reported for all individuals except the 4-year-old child. According to the chart below, the gross income of this family cannot exceed $102,200 as reported in their 2021 tax filings. • The family must have a low- or moderate-income (LMI) --less than or equal to 80% of the Los Angeles County Area Median Income--as follows:

For participating families, this program will cover 80% of monthly childcare costs, up to $1,200 per child and up to two children per family.

6 at the beginning of the next school year if they are still to receive program funding for that period. Children up through age 12 are eligible to receive childcare through this program. This program funding is not intended to replace any available public schooling; rather, funding may be used for before & after school care for school-aged children, and for full-time childcare costs for those children not yet old enough for public school. Funding may be used for full-time childcare for school aged children during the summer vacation period.
Arms-Length Transactions
Grant may not be used to support costs for services or goods going to, or coming from, a person or entity with a real or apparent conflict of interest. All transactions must be Arm's-length Transactions.
Grant Disbursement
For participating families, this program will cover 80% of monthly childcare costs, up to $1,200 per child and up to two children per family. For example, if one month of childcare is $1,500 total, the City will pay 80% of this cost, which is $1,200. Payments will be made directly by the City to the eligible childcare provider. Parents will maintain responsibility for funding all remaining childcare costs. Eligible families will be able to receive the subsidy for 12 continuous months.
Eligible childcare centers will need to provide a W-9 and CA 590 form, and be willing to accept payment from the City. The childcare center must be licensed with the State of California Department of Social Services. This may be determined by asking the facility for their nine-digit facility number, and checking that the facility matches the facility number provided on the state website: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/ . Applicants who are currently receiving other forms of childcare vouchers are not eligible for this program.
Parental School or Work Requirement
When COVID-19 forced the shutdown of most in-person schools and child care centers, many parents were forced to choose between gainful employment and childcare. The goal of this program is to allow parents to recover from negative COVID-19 economic impacts by providing them the opportunity to not worry about the cost of childcare while they take steps to improve their financial position. Parents can qualify for this in three ways:
1. Parents who already work full time will qualify for this program if receiving a child care subsidy will improve their ability to save or better use their discretionary income.
7 2. Parents who do not already work full time must obtain full time employment in order to receive the subsidy.
3. Parents who enroll in an accredited college or full-time skilled labor training (i.e. to become an electrician).
Eligible families will demonstrate a financial need for a childcare subsidy so that all household parents may have the opportunity to either pursue higher education, expand their work hours to provide additional financial support to their household, or stabilize their household income and savings. It is estimated that approximately 17 children will be able to receive a 12-month subsidy over the life of the program.
The purpose of this program is to allow all household parents to advance their current or future financial standing by either working additional hours that would not be possible without childcare, by attending an accredited school or vocational program on a full-time basis to prepare for a more lucrative career, or by lessening the financial burden that a family currently has by paying for childcare.
Monthly Submission Providing Proof of School or Work
The following will be required monthly submissions from the parents/guardians of the child who live in the household. If a parent/guardian is not working or in school full time when they enter into their grant agreement, they will be required to provide monthly proof that they are actively seeking to obtain full time equivalent work or school enrollment. Program participants will have three months from the date of signing their grant agreement to begin full time work or school, unless previously agreed upon with their case worker.
If Receiving Childcare Subsidy While Working Full Time:
- Required to submit paystubs showing proof of full-time work over the last month.
If Receiving Childcare Subsidy While in School Full Time:
- Upon enrollment, will be required to show proof of full-time enrollment status.
Whenever grades are published (by assignment, quarterly, semester, etc.), the applicant will be required to show that all classes are being passed with a “C” or better.
Grantees who fail to produce the required monthly documentation in a timely fashion, or who do not continue to meet the requirements of the program will be disenrolled from the program and no longer eligible to receive grant funding. Any continuing financial obligations of the child care center are the sole responsibility of the child’s parents/guardians.

Existing Business Working Capital Assistance Program
Program Description & Guideline
Executive Summary:
This Program is designed to provide financial assistance to existing local businesses that have been negatively impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Funding Background:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law The American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARPA).
Included in this bill is $130.2 billion for local governments to provide area‐specific assistance to respond to and mitigate the negative effects of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on their communities.
Of this, the City of Covina will receive approximately $11,351,049 in total, of which $5,675,000 has been received thus far.
On July 6, 2021, the Covina City Council adopted Resolution CC 2021‐99, accepting the ARPA funding allotment and appropriating the first tranche of funds towards a wide range of local programs & services, including grant programs to support households and businesses.
Program Purpose & Description:
The Covina City Council approved the Business Working Capital Assistance Program as one of the proposed programs for the ARPA funding. Due to the safer at home emergency public health order in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, many non‐essential local businesses have experienced a negative economic impact. In the State of California, as of June 2021, total small business revenue decreased by 43.4% compared to January 2020.1 The City is committed to
1 *Change in net business revenue for small businesses, indexed to January 4‐31 2000 and seasonally adjusted. This series is based on date from Womply. Retrieved from source: Opporutnity insights from tracktherecovery.org.
continuing to provide assistance to local businesses that have been impacted by COVID‐19 by providing working capital assistance for existing businesses.
The purpose of this program is to allow for local businesses to expand business operations and/or revitalize an existing business. Qualifying business can use funds for business operations and improvements in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. This funding will not cover employee payroll. There is $250,000 available in grant funding, with a maximum of $25,000 allotted per business. It is estimated that ten businesses will be served through this program. Funding will be provided in the form of a reimbursable grant. In certain cases, payment exceptions can be made depending on the individual business need and financial stability, and will be determined by City Staff.
The business will need to create a priority list of what projects they are requesting to use the funds for, and provide a cost estimate for each line item. The City will review applications for eligibility. Depending on program popularity, a lottery may be held to determine which businesses will move forward. Eligible businesses will then complete a full application and subsequent grant agreement, and work with the City if necessary to decide on which requested items will be funded. This will be based on funding availability, and eligibility of proposed expenses. It is possible, depending on the funding request(s), that funds will not be available for all capital expenses requested. Be aware that costs incurred before documents are signed are not eligible for reimbursement under the program. After the grant agreement has been fully executed, the business will have up to 3 months to submit proof of eligible expenditures and provide all required documents. Eligible expenditures will require three (3) formal written estimates/proposals for all purchases (Include Davis‐Bacon wage rates, if applicable) along with proof of expenditures. If documentation of expenditures is not provided within this time period, application and request for funds will not be considered complete and not considered for funding.
Eligible businesses will need to demonstrate a financial loss due to COVID‐19, by certifying that revenue has declined by 25% or more since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Only one (1) application per business will be considered. Owners of multiple businesses may only submit one (1) application for one (1) of their business located within the City. Businesses must have a commercial storefront, and must have employees. Persons who are independent contractors are not eligible for this program.

New Business Capital Improvement Program
Program Description & Guideline
Executive Summary:
This Program is designed for new businesses that want to locate/start‐up a business at a vacant location that was closed as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Funding Background:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law The American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARPA).
Included in this bill is $130.2 billion for local governments to provide area‐specific assistance to respond to and mitigate the negative effects of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on their communities.
Of this, the City of Covina will receive approximately $11,351,049 in total, of which $5,675,000 has been received thus far.
On July 6, 2021, the Covina City Council adopted Resolution CC 2021‐99, accepting the ARPA funding allotment and appropriating the first tranche of funds towards a wide range of local programs & services, including grant programs to support households and businesses.
Program Purpose & Description:
The Covina City Council approved the New Business Capital Improvement Program as one of the programs to receive ARPA funding. The program will provide financial assistance to businesses to make improvements or help with startup costs in order to initiate business activities at a vacant location that was closed as a result of COVID‐19. The purpose of this program is to allow for local businesses to expand or establish business operations and/or revitalize an existing business that was established as of July 1st,2020 and later. There is $200,000 in available program funds, and eligible businesses can receive up to $10,000 each. It is estimated that approximately twenty businesses will be able served through this program. Funding will be provided in the form of a
reimbursable grant. In certain cases, payment exceptions can be made depending on the individual business need and financial stability, and such determination will be made by City Staff.
The business will need to create a priority list of what projects they are requesting to use the funds for, and provide a cost estimate for each line item. The City will review applications for eligibility. Depending on program popularity, a lottery may be held to determine which businesses will move forward. Eligible businesses will then complete a full application and subsequent grant agreement, and work with the City if necessary to decide on which requested items will be funded. This will be based on funding availability, and eligibility of proposed expenses. It is possible, depending on the funding request(s), that funds will not be available for all capital expenses requested. Be aware that costs incurred before documents are signed are not eligible for reimbursement under the program. After the grant agreement has been fully executed, the business will have up to 3 months to submit proof of eligible expenditures and provide all required documents. Eligible expenditures will require three (3) formal written estimates/proposals for all purchases (Include Davis/bacon wage rates, if applicable) along with proof of expenditures. If documentation of expenditures is not provided within this time period, application and request for funds will not be considered complete and not considered for funding.
Eligible businesses will need their property owner to complete a justification statement form to explain how their property has been impacted by COVID‐19. This includes vacancies due to tenants closing their operations, difficulty filling empty storefronts due to the pandemic. Only one (1) application per business will be considered.

Title: Exchange Agreement and Lease Agreement between Bently Real Estate, LLC and the City of Covina for the Exchange of City Property (Approximately 416.9 Lineal Feet of Geneva Place Right-of-Way) and for the Lease of Bently Property Located at 401 N.
Citrus Avenue
Presented By: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute the Exchange Agreement ("Exchange Agreement") and Lease Agreement ("Lease") between Bently Real Estate, LLC ("Bently") and the City of Covina ("City") for the Exchange of City Property (Approximately 416.9 Lineal Feet of Geneva Place Right-of-Way) and for the Lease of Bently Property Located at 401 N. Citrus Avenue, which Includes: (a) the City Vacating the Public Street on the City Property; (b) the Conveyance of the City Property by the City to Bently by Quitclaim Deed; (c) the Execution and Delivery of the Lease; (d) Bently Improvement of the 401 N. Citrus Ave.; and Other Considerations as Provided in the Exchange Agreement and Lease Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Exchange and Lease Agreements encompass two (2) separate projects as follows:
• On June 16, 2020 the City Council approved a mixed-use project located on the former Clippinger Chevrolet dealership site on the northwest corner of San Bernardino Road and Citrus Avenue. The project consists of the development of 105 residential “flats”, approximately 15,000 square feet of commercial space, 56 townhomes, and garage parking for 434 vehicles. The approved project also included the incorporation of approximately 416.9 lineal feet of the Geneva Place right-of-way (between 3rd Street and west of Citrus Avenue) into the mixed-use project as open space (Note: the utility easements will remain); and,
• As a feature of the City’s ongoing economic development efforts, establish a "Co-Working/Business Incubator" facility proximate to the downtown that would generate downtown pedestrian traffic, create an opportunity for Covina entrepreneurs to establish new businesses within Covina, provide a unique business amenity to further raise Covina’s profile in the San Gabriel Valley region, and continue to increase downtown Covina as a “destination”.
DISCUSSION:
The features of the proposed Exchange and Lease Agreements are as follows:
Geneva Place Right-of-Way:
An approximate 416.9-foot portion of Geneva Place right-of-way would be vacated to Bently, which is the owner/developer of the mixed-use project approved on June 16, 2020. The 416.9-foot portion of Geneva Place would become an integral feature of the mixed-use project as “common area” open space. The existing underground utility easements and the above ground SCE easement would continue to remain in-place.
However, the integration of the aforementioned portion of Geneva Place would be an important internal visual linkage for the mixed-use project – connecting the two (2) portions of the former Clippinger Chevrolet dealership site into a single comprehensive development.
An approximate 201.6-lineal foot portion of Geneva Place not included in the street vacation, extending from Citrus Avenue, westerly 201.6-feet would remain a public street and be improved with a cul-de-sac bulb in order to serve the pending mixed-use development as well as the existing Howard’s store property located on the north side of Geneva Place. The total land area of the portion of Geneva Place Right-of-Way to be vacated and “sold” to the developer (Bently) is approximately 23,520 square feet, with an appraised fair market value of $1,300,000.00.
Covina Co-Working/Business/Incubator Facility:
The proposed location for the Covina Co-Working/Business Incubator Facility (“Co-Working”) is the new commercial development located at 401 N. Citrus Avenue – the northwest corner of Citrus Avenue and Orange Street. The property was the former location of an early gasoline service station, and until the current development project, retained the former automobile service building. The new commercial development comprises of a replica of the former automobile service building of 1,900 square feet and a new two (2) story commercial building totaling 2,365 square feet; for a combined total square footage of 4,265 square feet.
The Co-Working facility is envisioned to contain an open floor plan work-station/lounge area; private and semi-private work stations; a small and medium conference room; a podcast studio; beverage/refreshment station; and a business center/retail space and on-site facility management/administration station.
Exchange Agreement:
Due to Bently’s role as both the developer of the mixed-use project that has requested the City vacate Geneva Place Right-of-Way, and the builder of the 401 N. Citrus Avenue commercial project; the concept of an “exchange” of value emerged. The concept driving the Exchange Agreement is the value of the Geneva Place Right-of-Way ($1,300,000) would be “exchanged” for the value of the market rate lease of the 401 N. Citrus Avenue commercial property. Pursuant to a “Market Rate Study” prepared by Collier’s, the blended market rate lease rate for the total 401 N. Citrus Avenue property is $2.98/square foot at 4,265 square feet equals a total of estimated value of $12,539/month, or $152,520/year (plus a 3% annual escalator). Therefore, the total value of the Geneva Place right-of-way of $1,300,000 would equal an eight (8) year-two (2) month lease value. Note: the Lease Agreement includes a three (3) month “tenant improvement” period on the “front end” of the Lease, which no lease rate is charged to the City.
The matrix provided in Table 1.0 below illustrates the annual lease rate, plus a customary landlord provided tenant improvement allowance. The final exchange of value between the Geneva Place Right-of-Way and the total eight (8) year-two (2) month lease valuation concludes with the City to owe Bently $3,160.00; which Bently, has agreed to waive. Therefore, no cash is required to be exchanged between the City and Bently.
Feature Value Amount
1. Lease value – Year 1 $152,520.00
2. Lease value – Year 2 $157,096.00
3. Lease value – Year 3 $161,808.00
4. Lease value – Year 4 $166,663.00
5. Lease value – Year 5 $171,663.00
6. Lease value – Year 6 $176,812.00
7. Lease value – Year 7 $182,117.00
8. Lease value – Year 8 $187,580.00
9. Lease value – Month 1 $16,101.00
10. Lease value – Month 2 $16,101.00
11. Grand Total of the estimated value of the 8 year - 2 month lease (including an annual 3% escalator) for paid rent portion of the lease:
Feature Value Amount
$1,388,460.00
12. Tenant Improvement Allowance valued at $20.00/square foot – credit to Bently ($85,300.00)
13. Difference (Row 11 minus Row 12) $1,303,160.00
14. Appraised Value of Geneva Place ROW $1,300,000.00
15. Total City owes to Bently (Row 13 minus Row 14) $3,160.00
16. Grand Total City owes after Bently waives amount City owes (Row 15) $0.00 FISCAL IMPACT:
The Exchange Agreement and Lease Agreement will be fiscally neutral to the City’s General Fund. The value of sale of the Geneva Place Right-of-Way will be transferred to pay for the value of eight (8) years-two (2) months of rent for the combined 4,265 square feet of commercial building floor area at 401 N. Citrus Avenue. The construction of the tenant improvements for the Co-Working/Business Incubator facility will require a separate budget, which will necessitate a subsequent action by the City Council.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
The proposed action of authorizing the City Manager to execute the Exchange Agreement and Lease Agreement on behalf of the City is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly.
