MEETING DATE: December 16, 2002 Alternative Action: DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL02-50 The City Council may elect not to approve thE! Reimbursement Agreement between the City and Makar Properties. If so, the developer will not help defray the cost of professional planning, engineering, fire, building, and legal services from the Department of Planning. As a consequence, the development request by Makar Properties will be processed in line with regular development requests, which may result in not meeting entitlement deadlines. Analysis: The City and Makar Properties recognize the costs associated with professional planning, engineering, fire, building, and legal services assigned to the various development projects. In order to assist the development community and process the number of large, complex projects, it is necessary for the city to hire contract staff personnel to analyze respective projects. The City and Makar Properties have agreed to enter into a Reimbursement Agreement to help defray these costs. The proposed Reimbursement Agreement between the City and Makar Properties requires the developer to help defray the professional planning, engineering, fire, building, and legal services costs incurred by the City. The agreement wilt reimburse the City $80,000 annually for planning services and up to an additional $70,000 for engineering, tire, building, and legal services. Initially, $20,000 will be transmitted to cover the last quarter of 2002. Thereafter, $37,500 will be deposited quarterly There have been many reimbursement agreements requested by staff and the development community. This is an acceptable method to give developers greater assurance of timely entitlement processing in Huntington Beach. Environmental Status: Categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301.
