DISCUSSION:

The City of Fontana is undertaking an expansive and comprehensive revitalization of Downtown Fontana. The specific geographic area to be targeted includes Upland Ave to the North, Orange Avenue to the South, Mango Ave to the East and Juniper Ave to the West. A primary component of this revitalization effort will require the acquisition, replanning, and redevelopment of several key properties within the area. To facilitate the implementation of this revitalization, the City has acquired various properties in Downtown.

The subject property recently became available for acquisition and staff has negotiated the terms of a favorable acquisition based on prior direction from the City Council.

The acquisition consists of a parcel of approximately 7,000 square feet with a building occupying approximately 6,000 square feet of the parcel.

The city and the seller have negotiated a Purchase Agreement with the following proposed deal-points:

                     The City of Fontana would acquire the property for the price of $1,075,000.

                     The City of Fontana and seller will equally split any/all escrow and title fees as appropriate.

                     The City has completed its due diligence on the subject property, including title review.

                     If approved, the anticipating close of escrow date is August 22, 2024.

                     Property will be delivered vacant.

 

Approval of the Purchase Agreement and acquisition of the subject property will complete the assemblage required for the development of the second downtown parking structure. Construction of the second parking structure will advance the City’s vision and plans to revitalize the Downtown Community.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item is estimated to be $1,175,000 (including escrow costs and related acquisition fees and expenses and demolition of the building) and was included in the 2023-24 budget.  Since the project was not completed in 2023-24, the available budget was carried forward to 2024-25 as authorized by Council with the supplemental budget in Fund 602 - Capital Improvement, Org 60230000.

 

MOTION:

Approve staff recommendation.
