BROOKS SEPARATE PROPERTY TRUST FOR THE REHABILITATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY/CITY OF SAN LEANDRO REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA LOCATED AT 14833 EAST 14TH STREET (APN 077D-1475-014-00) SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION As a condition of approval of a Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council of San Leandro on May 15, 2006, Redevelopment Agency staff has negotiated an Owner Participation Agreement (the "OP A") with the Barbara M. Brooks Separate Property Trust to allow the temporary sale of used automobiles at 14833 East 14th Street. As a result, the Barbara M. Brooks Separate Property Trust has agreed to work with Agency staff to negotiate and execute a master plan for the development of the site and any adjacent property(ies) which may be acquired by the Participant. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution that authorizes the OP A. BACKGROUND Analysis The property was originally occupied by a used car lot in the 1940's. Subsequently, the existing buildings and improvements on the property were constructed in 1966 for a used car sales office that operated for approximately 29 years until 1995. From 1995 to 2005, the United States Postal Service used the site for vehicle storage. In late 2005, the owners ofthe property told City staff that they intended to use the site once again for used car sales. However, because the previous use of the site as a used car lot had lapsed, the owners needed to obtain a conditional use permit to be in conformance with South-Area (SA-3) zoning requirements. The matter relating to the conditional use permit, which was denied by the Board of Zoning Adjustments (the "BZA") at their meeting of February 16, 2006, was heard by the City Council on appeal, at their meeting of April 17, 2006 and then continued to the meeting of May 15,2006.
