FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The Agency's 2002-03 budget includes funding for the market study update as part of the Agency's overall economic development work program for fiscal year 2002-03. It is anticipated that up to $80,000 of the Agency's funds from account numbers 405-902-603-595 (Project Area No. 1) and 406-905-605-526 (Project Area No. 2) will be used to fund the Market Study Update. The budget provides that half of this cost will be derived from Project Area No. 1 and half would be derived from Project Area No. 2. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The 2002-03 Annual Operating Budget provides for a comprehensive economic development work program for the Agency. One component entails updating the 1999 Real Estate Market Study. Data from this Market Study is incorporated in the 2002-03 Economic Development Plan, and provides the basis for some of the City's marketing materials. The Sedway Group prepared this analysis of local and regional market conditions in 1999. The study presented overall market trends, and anticipated space absorption for retail, office, industrial, and resort uses. During review of the 2002-03 Economic Development Plan, the Agency Board directed staff to update this market study during the 2002-03 fiscal year. In order to receive the results to incorporate into the City's new marketing materials, and in order to evaluate the potential demand for resort and hospitality uses that may be attracted to the Agency's Ranch property, staff is recommending that the process 0 i"l 6 to retain a firm and begin the market study be initiated at this time. As detailed in the attached Request for Proposals (Attachment 1), the market study update will include the following key components: • A demographic forecast extending to the year 2007 • An analysis of La Quinta's real estate market perception and potential • A space demand forecast for regional -serving retail, neighborhood retail, resort retail, lodging/hotel, office, light industrial, and live/work housing development • An assessment of the land use requirements for each land use category • A space absorption timetable If authorized by the Agency, staff will transmit the RFP to prospective market research firms by Friday, August 9, 2002. Proposals will be due on September 13, 2002, after which interviews will be scheduled with qualified candidates. Staff anticipates that a recommendation will be brought to the Agency Board for subsequent consideration at the October 15, 2002 meeting. The selection process follows the procedures outlined for "major projects," being projects defined as having a value of more than $25,000. The procedures encompass establishing a selection committee, reviewing the proposals, and negotiating a contract for final approval by the Agency. Staff proposes that the Selection Committee be comprised of the following members: Mark Weiss, Assistant Executive Director Jerry Herman, Community Development Director Debbie Powell, Management Analyst Frank Spevacek, Agency Consultant The Agency Board may appoint one or two members to participate in or observe the selection process. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Redevelopment Agency Board include: 1. Authorize the distribution of an RFP to prepare a market study that will be incorporated into the 2003-04 Economic Development Plan and the City's marketing materials; or 007 02 2. Do not authorize the distribution of an RFP to prepare a market study that will be incorporated into the 2003-04 Economic Development Plan and the City's marketing materials; or 3. Provide staff with alternative direction. Respectfully submitted, Q ` - kl, � Mark Weiss, Assistant Executive Director Approved for submission by: Thomas P. Genovese, Executive Director Attachments: 1. Request for Proposals 008 `iv3 ATTACHMENT 1 La Quinta Redevelopment Agency La Quintc/Coachella Valley Market Study 005 Introduction The City of La Quinta is located in the Eastern Central Coachella Valley; the City is bounded by Indian Wells to the west, Indio to the east, and unincorporated County areas to the north and south. Located approximately 2 miles south of Interstate 10, primary access is via State Highway 111 and Washington Street. Historically, the City has been identified with the La Quinta Hotel, the PGA West golf facilities, and the annual La Quinta Arts Festival. Today, La Quinta is capitalizing on continued growth in the Greater Coachella Valley. In 2002, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and the City of La Quinta adopted an Economic Development Strategic Plan to guide efforts to identify, attract, and develop new regional retail, neighborhood retail, recreational and residential uses to the City. One component of this Plan was a market study prepared in January 1999 by the Sedway Group. The market study projected the extent that such uses could be accommodated in the Coachella Valley and in the City of La Quinta. Over the past three years, the Agency has annually implemented, reviewed and amended the Economic Development Strategic Plan, while the market study has remained unchanged. Today, the Agency desires to update the market study to renew the forecasted real estate absorption for the next five years, and review market demand for light industrial uses. The updated market study will serve as a framework to reevaluate and adjust the City's economic development initiatives. oo6 nio Desired Services The selected market consultant will be expected to compile statistics from local and regional sources, interview real estate professionals and major landowners, and consult with planning departments of La Quinta and surrounding communities. The market study update should incorporate the following key components: - DEMOGRAPHIC FORECAST: Update socioeconomic trends forecast, using 2002 as baseline and extending to the year 2007. At a minimum, the forecast should project future growth in population, age distribution, household size, permanent nonagricultural employment by industry, tourism, and lodging demand for La Quinta, the Coachella Valley, and Riverside County. THE OPPORTUNITIES ANALYSIS: Based on discussions with local officials and the real estate community, describe the market perception and potential of La Quinta in context of the Coachella Valley. REAL ESTATE DEMAND FORECAST: Project market demand for the following uses in the Greater Coachella Valley, and identify La Quinta's potential share of this demand: a) Regional Servicing Retail e) Lodging/Hotel b) Neighborhood Retail f) Office c) Commercial Retail g) Light Industrial d) Live/Work Housing LAND AREA REQUIREMENTS: Identify the amount of land area that will be required to absorb the projected demand, as well as any desirable site characteristics. ABSORPTION FORECAST: Project a timetable for the absorption of identified uses. DELIVERABLES: The market consultant shall prepare and submit to City staff five (5) copies of the screencheck market study, consisting of a narrative analysis and summary of the market conclusions and support tables and charts, for staff review. Upon completion of the work effort, the consultant shall submit ten (10) bound originals of the final study and a digital version on CD. SCHEDULE: The market study contract is expected to be awarded in mid -October, work should be completed by mid -December. 0 1 ). 007 Regional Location Ag a me I.R.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: During the 12-month term of the lease agreement, the Agency will receive approximately $60,000 in net rental income. The lease is structured so that the Dave Pelz Scoring Game School would be responsible for facility operational expenses (utilities, building and landscape maintenance, and minor building repairs). The Agency would be responsible for major building and facility repairs. Property management fees are estimated to be $5,000. Adequate funds have been budgeted in Redevelopment Project Area No. 1, account number 405-902-603-000. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The Dave Pelz Scoring Game School has been operating a short course golf academy at this location for a number of years, providing instruction on the short golf game. In addition to the La Quinta facility, they operate schools in four other locations serving both pro and amateur golfers. Their La Quinta operation offers classes from November through May, and typically generates annual gross receipts in excess of $1.5 million. Their lease with KSL expired in May 2002. When the Agency acquired The Ranch, the Pelz School was completing their 2001-2002 season. Staff initiated discussions with the Pelz School regarding their interest in reoccupying the facility and instituting a one-year lease while the Agency planning for the site is underway. 0,17 The lease (Attachment 1) provides the Pelz School exclusive use of the Ahmanson Ranch House, an adjoining modular office, and the golf greens for one year. The lease rate would be 10% of the gross revenue from the La Quinta facility, less refunded tuition and sales tax payments. The lease provides that the Pelz School would be responsible for facility operations and maintenance and these costs (utilities, building, greens and pool maintenance, and minor facility repairs) would be deducted from the monthly lease payments. The annual operations and maintenance costs are estimated to be $90,000. During the 2001-2002 season, the Pelz School's revenue from the La Quinta facility was $1.5 million. At the 10% lease rate, this would generate $150,000 in gross lease revenue. Deducting the estimated $90,000 of expenses, the Agency would receive $60,000 in net lease income. Staff recommends that the Agency enter into a one-year lease with the Pelz School because: • the Pelz School attracts numerous visitors to La Quinta who attend their classes; per the Pelz School and confirmed by KSL Recreation, during their 7 month school year they generate 32 room nights per week at the La Quinta Resort and Club which generates additional business in the community; • the Agency does not have any immediate use for these facilities; • the Agency is embarking on a master planning process that will determine the disposition of this property during the next year; and • the Pelz School is a viable tenant that desires to remain at this location. Since the lease is for only one year, staff proposes that RSG, the Agency's real estate and redevelopment consultant, serve as the Agency's contact for all day-to- day property management matters. RSG previously performed this service when the Agency acquired the 50 single-family residences in the Cove that are part of the Rental Housing Program. They managed these units for a 14-month period until a local residential property management firm was retained. During this period, staff did not receive any service or facility maintenance complaints from the tenants. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Redevelopment Agency Board include: 1. Approve a one-year lease agreement by and between the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and Independent Golf Research Corporation, DBA the Dave Pelz Scoring Game School, for Agency -owned real property located at 79- 999 Old Avenue 52, and authorize the Executive Director to execute the lease documents; or 01,9 ,''J 2 2.

Tenant has investigated and has knowledge of operative or imposed governmental laws and regulations (including, but not limited to, zoning, environmental, including specifically the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency, and land use laws and regulations) to which the Leased Premises may be subject, and is leasing the Leased Premises on the basis of its review and determination of the application and effect of such laws and regulations. Tenant has neither received nor relied upon any representations concerning such laws and regulations made by Landlord or any person acting under or on behalf of Landlord. Any agreements, warranties or representations not expressly contained in this Lease shall in no way bind Landlord. 1.3 Property Facilities. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the exclusive right to use the Leased Premises, specifically the main ranch house, use of the office trailer (as further described herein), and those facilities specifically created for the Programs (as may be altered and improved as provided below) for purposes of conducting its Programs during the term of this Lease. 1.4 Use of Name/Logo. Tenant hereby authorizes and grants Landlord a license to use its name, trademarks, service marks and logo in Landlord's advertising, public relations and other promotions that relate to the Land or the Leased Premises. Landlord understands and agrees that such authorization and license is non-exclusive and shall terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Any use, advertisement or promotional material or information by Landlord using Tenant's name, trademark, service mark and logo, or any of them, must be pre -approved in writing by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In no event shall Tenant use the name, trademarks, service marks, or logo of PGA West and/or the La Quinta Resort & Club in connection with Tenant's Programs. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, damages and liens, arising or related to Tenant's use of any such name, trademarks, service marks, or logos in violation of this Section 1.4. 1.5 "Post -Acquisition" Status of Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it is a post - acquisition tenant, and that further acknowledges that the Landlord plans to redevelop the subject property. Tenant hereby waives, relinquishes, and discharges any and all rights or claims for relocation assistance or related benefits or loss of goodwill under any applicable law, including, but not limited to California Government Code Section 7260 et seq. and the State Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition, 25 C.F.R. 6000 et seq., or the comparable federal relocation laws and regulations, or for inverse condemnation. 006 619/015610-0048 304489.04 AM02 ARTICLE 11 Lease Term 2.1 Term. The Term of this Lease shall be for a period of one year commencing September 1, 2002 and ending August 31, 2003, unless sooner terminated as provided herein (the "Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease, with or without cause, by providing Tenant with thirty (30) days written notice to cancel. Upon such termination, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises, in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 8.1 hereof, no later than the effective date of termination. ARTICI F III Rent and Operating Expenses 3.1 Rent. Beginning September 1, 2002 and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay base rent equal to ten percent (10%) of any and all monthly tuition revenues actually collected by Tenant from the Programs conducted at the Leased Premises, less any applicable tuition refunds or sales taxes paid ("Gross Rent"), subtracting therefrom any validated Deductible Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 3.4 below), if any (such reduced rent amount shall be referred to here in as "Net Rent") to Landlord at Landlord's address as provided by Section 15.7. Net Rent shall be due and payable in arrears on or before thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar month of the Term, without notice or demand from Landlord. Net Rent and Deductible Operating Expenses for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month. 3.2 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of Net Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by any lender. Accordingly, if any Net Rent shall not be received by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a one-time late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such overdue amount or One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), whichever is greater.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: During the 12-month term of the lease agreement, the Agency will receive approximately $12,000 in net rental income. The lease is structured so that MDS Consulting would be responsible for facility operational expenses (utilities, building and landscape maintenance, and minor building repairs). The Agency would be responsible for major building repairs. Property management fees are estimated to be $3,500. Adequate funds have been budgeted in Redevelopment Project Area No. 1, account number 405-902-603-000. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: MDS Consulting occupies a 1,670 square foot structure located on the Agency's Ranch property. The company maintains offices in both La Quinta and Irvine, and provides primarily civil engineering services at the La Quinta office. When the La Quinta office was established, MDS worked exclusively for KSL Recreation. Since KSL land planning activities have subsided, MDS now provides civil engineering services for clients throughout the Coachella Valley. The facility was once the Ahmanson Ranch bull barn, but was converted into office space in the early 1990's. MDS has occupied these offices for the past five years and desires to remain at this location until the final disposition of this facility is determined. Oil When the Agency acquired The Ranch, it inherited a month -to -month lease with MDS. Staff subsequently initiated discussions with MDS regarding continuing its occupancy and instituting a one-year lease, which is provided as Attachment 1. Staff recommends that the Agency enter into a one year lease with MDS because: • the Agency does not have any immediate use for this structure that would be more advantageous than having MDS continue their occupancy; • the Agency is embarking on a master planning process that will determine the disposition of this property during the next year; • MDS is a viable tenant that desires to remain at this location; and • MDS has assisted KSL Recreation on past planning efforts involving The Ranch, and has a wealth of engineering data that would assist the Agency with future planning activities. Since the lease is for only one year, staff also proposes that RSG, the Agency's real estate and redevelopment consultant, serve as the Agency's contact for all day-to-day property management matters. RSG previously performed this service when the Agency acquired the 50 single-family residences in the Cove that are part of the Rental Housing Program. They managed these units for a 14-month period until a local residential property management firm was retained. During this period, staff did not receive any service or facility maintenance complaints from the tenants. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Redevelopment Agency Board include: 1. Approve a one-year lease agreement by and between the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and MDS Consulting for Agency -owned real property located at 79-799 Old Avenue 52, and authorize the Executive Director to execute the lease documents; or 2. Do not approve a one-year lease agreement by and between the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and MDS Consulting for Agency -owned real property located at 79-799 Old Avenue 52, and do not authorize the Executive Director to execute the lease documents; or 3. Provide staff with alternative direction. Respectfully submitted, ',-PW"-.Q-4, Mark Weiss, Assistant Executive Director 0,10 jr- 006 Approved for submission by: Thomas P.

ARTICLE II I PA¢P TPr1Y1 2.1 Term. The Term of this Lease shall be for a period of one year commencing September 1, 2002 and ending August 31, 2003, unless sooner terminated as provided herein (the "Term").

For the first (1st) month of the Term, Tenant shall pay the full amount of Gross Rent to Landlord.

Net Rent and Deductible Operating Expenses for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month. 3.2 Late Charges.

Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by any lender. Accordingly, if any Net Rent shall not be received by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a one-time late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such overdue amount or One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), whichever is greater. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.

In the event a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Net Rent, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Gross Rent, shall, at Landlord's option, become due and payable quarterly in advance, with subsequent abatement of Deductible Operating Expenses, if applicable, in the manner set forth in Section 3.4 below. 3.3 Operatin_g Expenses.

The Agency recently purchased 525 acres of desert property that was once the Ahmanson family's ranch. Known as The Ranch, the Agency desires to develop resort, golf, passive recreation and commercial uses that embrace the adjoining Coral Reef Mountains and incorporate some of the Ahmanson ranch structures. In order to identify the optimum development program, a planning process that generates a master land use plan is required. The selected consultant team must have intimate knowledge of designing and developing desert resort and golf communities and village centers. The Agency is seeking specialists who are experienced with creating special places that combine hotel, condo hotel, golf, passive recreation and commercial uses. Part of the development will include a village or town center that facilitates the interface of the community with the resort and golf uses. Our goal is to establish a destination that caters to the needs of both world travelers and La Quinta residents. Specific expertise the Agency is seeking includes: -: Experience with designing and developing desert golf resort communities Experience with place making, developing villages or village centers Experience with conducting community interface and presentation processes Experience with translating the operational needs of hotel, golf, clubhouse, restaurant, conference center, and retail uses into a workable land use plan Experience with configuring buildings, public spaces and recreation areas to accommodate the desert environment Experience with integrating buildings with indigenous landscaping such that the buildings and development are an extension and outgrowth of the surrounding landscape. �)91 006 Desired Services Tasks the Agency anticipates the consultant team will perform shall include: Project management and schedule maintenance Preparing at least three (3) preliminary conceptual design plans Preparing a menu of improvements needed to develop each plan, including potential costs Designing and facilitating a process wherein the public would review, comment and have meaningful input on the development program Preparing a final master land use plan and development program that: identifies site locations for the desired uses presents a site circulation plan and entry points details required utility and other infrastructure systems outlines architectural elements and the landscape materials palate Coordinating with City departments and outside agencies, as required Preparing CEQA documentation, if necessary The Agency understands that one firm may not have all of the required disciplines and various sub -consultants may be required. However, the Agency intends to award a contract to one firm who would retain and manage any required sub -consultants. The selected firm must designate a single Project Manager who has the experience on similar master planning engagements. This individual will become the day-to-day liaison with the Agency's project manager. 007 Ranch Vision The Ranch's canvas spans 525 acres to the base of the Coral Reef Mountains in the City of La Quinta. The Agency desires to develop premiere hospitality and golf venues that become must see destinations in the Coachella Valley. The final development should be crafted as if it had evolved over time by melding the rich hues of the desert and strong architectural elements inspired by the site with rusticated materials. Site topography and view planes should be used to their fullest potential to reinforce an organic village concept. As part of the acquisition process the Agency processed a mitigated negative declaration that evaluated the environmental impacts associated with the following uses: one 250-room hotel with a 10,000 square foot conference center; 300 condo hotel or fractional units with up to 500 keys; two 18-hole public golf courses with a driving range and a 25,000 square foot clubhouse; one 9-hole short game public golf course; and 25,000 square feet of ancillary tourist commercial uses. Additional uses that were part of the environmental review entailed passive park space, trails, and view corridors. The Coachella Valley branch of the All American Canal traverses the property, offering the potential for water features that contrast with the desert environment. The Ranch is adjacent to the exclusive private golf communities of PGA West, the Country Club of the Desert, the Tradition and the Citrus. As such, the site's perimeters must be improved to reflect the quality of these adjoining communities while preserving views to the Coral Reef Mountains. The mountains are potential habitat for the peninsular bighorn sheep; care must be taken to buffer the mountain areas from impacts generated by adjoining development. The Ranch, due to its premiere location and site characteristics, warrants the attention of exceptional planning, architectural and engineering expertise to ensure development in a manner befitting the site, the City's economic development objectives and needs, and the City's character. The challenge lies in creating a development plan and program that ensures enactment of the community vision and captures the history and values of the City of La Quinta. 0i i Regional Location Joshua Tree National Park Joshua C.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The proposed Option Agreement grants the City's Redevelopment Agency the option to purchase the existing Wal-Mart site for $6 million, if specified conditions relating to the sale and intended reuse of the building are not met 12 months after Wal-Mart is granted a Certificate of Occupancy at a new location within The Centre at La Quinta. There is no cost to obtain the option. The expenditures would be incurred only if the Agency elected to exercise the option in the future. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The City Council adopted conditions of approval on The Centre at La Quinta project requiring that Wal-Mart and the City enter into an agreement ensuring reuse of the existing Wal-Mart site upon Wal-Mart's relocation to The Centre site. This was done in an attempt to ensure that the One Eleven Center remained a viable shopping center with strong anchor tenants so that the area would not become blighted. Specifically, the condition stated as follows: In order to ensure the full reoccupation of the existing Wal-Mart building by one or more commercial retail users within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 24 months) following any relocation of Wal-Mart from the existing building and into Retail B Building, the following additional condition is imposed upon the Project. Within 90 days of approval of this Project, and prior to issuance of a building 10 ri permit for Retail B Building, the City and Wal-Mart shall execute either (i) an option agreement satisfactory to the City which provides the City the option of purchasing the approximately 13 acre Wal-Mart property in the City of La Quinta, both the existing Wal-Mart building and all surrounding parking lot areas owned by Wal-Mart (the "Existing Building"), or (ii) at the City's option, shall execute other agreements satisfactory to the City that ensure that the Existing Building will be fully reoccupied by one or more commercial retail users within a reasonable time period, as defined above. Agency staff has negotiated an Option Agreement (Attachment 1) which staff believes meets the intent and requirements of the above -quoted condition. The deal points of the proposed Option Agreement are as follows: • Option cost: zero • Purchase price if option exercised: $ 6 million • Option period: Commencing 12 months after a Certificate of Occupancy is obtained by Wal-Mart at its new facility if Wal-Mart has not already sold the property to another commercial retail user, and running for a period of 4 months • If the property has been sold prior to that date, the Agency's rights terminate • If Wal-Mart is in escrow but has not yet closed by the 12th month, the Agency's option rights are deferred to the termination of the escrow, or to the 24th month after the Certificate of Occupancy is obtained; if the escrow closes, the Agency's rights would be terminated • Allows the Agency to undertake due diligence activities in the future, and contains certain representations and warranties FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Redevelopment Agency Board include: 1. Authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Option Agreement with Wal- Mart for the possible future purchase of real property located at 78-950 Highway 1 1 1, commencing twelve (12) months after issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy to Wal-Mart for The Centre at La Quinta, pursuant to the terms set forth in Attachment 1; or 2. Authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Option Agreement with Wal- Mart for the possible future purchase of real property located at 78-950 Highway 1 1 1 upon some other terms; or I () ;I,, 0 G 3. Do not authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Option Agreement with Wal-Mart; or 4. Provide staff with alternative direction.
