File Number: 11 -391 Additional right -of -way is required to perform these improvements. In 2009, the former gas station located at 14901 East 14th Street, currently operating as a Quality Tune -up Shop, was acquired by the Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment Agency then entered into a month -to -month lease agreement with the tenant, which allowed the tenant to stay on the site until the project was ready to move forward.

This project will demolish the existing building at this location, including abatement of any hazardous materials contained within the structure. The site will be graded and fenced.
