Lamont Ewell (07/22/10) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Redevelopment Agency Board (Agency Board): approve a Participation Agreement with B&B Hardware, Inc. (Property Owner) to provide private and public improvements to property located at 12400, 12412, and 12450 Washington Boulevard (Property); and approve the plans and specifications for the proposed project; AND Staff recommends the City Council: adopt a Resolution making certain determinations and consenting to the expenditure of Redevelopment Agency funds for certain public improvements. City of Culver City, California Agenda Item Report BACKGROUND: B&B Hardware, Inc. was established in 1950 and currently employs 45 people and services 500 to 1,000 customers per day. The Property is comprised of three buildings on three separate parcels that total more than 16,000 square feet (SF). The Property is located within the second phase of the West Washington Boulevard Area Improvement Plan (AIP). AIP efforts are intended to improve the area’s appearance, enhance existing businesses, spur private reinvestment, and attract new businesses to serve the community. Key components of the AIP involve the installation of landscape medians (funded by the Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and maintained through an assessment district), the improvement of building facades (through the Agency’s Commercial Façade Matching Grant Program), the attraction and retention of key businesses, and creation of a graphic identity program. The Property Owner is participating in the assessment district and Commercial Façade Matching Grant Program. DISCUSSION: The proposed Participation Agreement identifies improvements (private and public) that will be performed by the Agency and Property Owner. The improvements include remodeling of the building façade (new signage, banners, planters, awnings, and wood screening), repaving of the parking area, and repaving of the adjacent alley (between Centinela Avenue and Kenyon Avenue) that serves as the primary ingress/egress to the Property The improvement of the alley is important because it is badly deteriorated and has been a source of complaints from customers and negatively impacts the adjacent businesses. Since a portion of the alley is located within the City of Los Angeles, the City Council is required to make necessary findings to fund the work pursuant to Section 33445 of the California Health and Safety Code. The necessary findings are included in the proposed Resolution. The Plans and Specifications for the proposed project are on file in the Office of the Agency Secretary. FISCAL ANALYSIS: B&B Hardware is consistently a top 25 sales tax producer for the City. Improved access to the site and beautification of the Property will help the area and surrounding businesses, as well as satisfy the Agency’s redevelopment goals. City of Culver City, California Agenda Item Report The total cost of the improvements is estimated to be $66,200 of which approximately $38,200 will be funded by the Agency and $28,000 will be funded by the Property Owner pursuant to the Participation Agreement. Private improvements for the façade work will be expended from the Commercial Façade Matching Grant Program (Economic Development – Rehabilitation Activities 55090200.518200). There are sufficient funds appropriated in this program to fund the proposed grant. Matching funds will be reimbursed in accordance with the program’s guidelines. There are sufficient funds in Washington Blvd AIP Phase I (55392670) to fund the proposed public improvements. Per the adopted Agency Budget Resolution, funds may be transferred from one project or program to another with the approval of the Executive Director or his/her designee. Therefore, funds will be transferred from Washington Blvd AIP Phase I (55392670) to Washington Blvd AIP Phase II (55392680). ATTACHMENTS: 1. Photos and Maps of Alley and B&B Properties; 2.

ATTACHMENT 1 3 July 20, 2010 Our Honorable Mayor and City Council, We are a family owned business that has been serving the community for over 57 years. Our service to the community has been recognized nationally in magazines and locally in several editorials and periodicals. We serve at least one-thousand customers on a daily average. We are very dedicated to our customers and take a great pride in providing the best service. We handle an array of complaints and make the necessary changes to satisfy our customers. As business owners, we felt it would be only business as usual to inform you of the complaints we’ve received on behalf of the city of Los Angeles and Culver City. We are located in Culver City but our parking lot is situated in Los Angeles. The two cities are divided by an alley-way that acts as a street more than an alley. Our customers travel through the alley to park for our store. For years we have requested from both cities to make the necessary repairs to the alley way but without success. We have encountered many hazards with the conditions of the alley mostly in the part of injuries to our customers. We have been absorbing the brunt of the complaints by advising the victims to contact the cities to lodge a complaint. At one point of time we attempted to repair the broken asphalt ourselves with our own material and we received an order to stop with the repair from a city worker who was a passer by. He advised us to contact the city of Los Angeles and put in request for street repair to the maintenance department. They arrived and filled in two holes and left the rest of the alley because it was on Culver City property. We would like to put in a formal request for the alley to be newly paved and new asphalt put down. We cater to the people who are home owners, business owners and everyday people that need our store to get there jobs done. In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your attention to this problem. I would also like to invite you to come to our place of business to witness the amount of traffic that the alley produces, as well as the condition of the alley itself. Again, thank you for your consideration in this manner.
