B. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT:
Deputy Executive Director John Jansons updated the Board on the Main Street
Mixer, and tomorrow's Main Street Design Review Committee meeting where the
City Engineer Steve Kahn will make a presentation on design alternatives on EI
Camino Real. Mr. Jansons also reported on a statewide economic development
conference that he and Executive Director McKinney attended last week.
Board Member Arrambide asked the status of the building that formerly housed
McCarthy's. Executive Director Wade McKinney explained that the owner had
applied for demolition permits to raze the building, however, because the building
potentially have historical significance, the City requested additional information to
complete the CEQA process on the project. At that time the owner withdrew his
demolition permit. Board Member Arrambide asked what options would be
available to the owner that would also be in the best interest of the downtown.
Mr. McKinney indicated that staff could come back to the Board with options for
the property.
Board Member Johnson stated that he would not be interested in spending much
staff time on what he considers a lost cause.
Board Member Scalise said it would be advisable for the Board to weigh what is
best for the City, having the building there or torn down.
Board Member Clay questioned whether there was any historical significance to the
building.
Chairman Luna indicated that questions about historical significance and
consistency with the downtown plan are issues that staff could come back with.
The Board directed staff to return to the Board with potential options.
Board Member Arrambide asked about the status of the recommendations from the
Main Street Design Committee regarding off-site developments around the Carlton
Hotel. Executive Director McKinney stated that to his knowledge the City has not
received any such plans from Main Street. He is aware that the Design Committee
has discussed improvements and is close to determining a preferred design for the
sidewalk treatment, but this has not yet been conveyed to City staff. Mr.
McKinney gave an update of the sidewalk plan as presented to the Main Street
Board.
