STAFF REPORT
CITY ADMINISTRATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
Originator: Alex Kung, Economic Development Manager
RE: Approve the Agreement Regarding Release of Deed Restriction and Joint
Escrow Instructions with DP Vernon, LLC and Bel Air Soto, LLC for the
property located at 5001 S. Soto Street
Recommendations
A. Find that approval of the agreement regarding release of deed restriction in this staff
report is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in
accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects
that may have an effect on the environment.
B. Approve the Agreement Regarding Release of Deed Restriction and Joint Escrow
Instructions with DP Vernon, LLC (DP Vernon) and Bel Air Soto, LLC (Bel Air Soto)
for the property located at 5001 S. Soto Street, in substantially the same form as
submitted herewith.
Background
In an effort to attract heavy power users to Vernon, the City Council adopted Resolution 9244
approving the sale of property located at 5001 S. Soto Street to DP Vernon on the condition DP
Vernon would construct and operate a data center that was projected to consume approximately
30 megawatts. As part of the negotiations both parties agreed to a deed restriction that would
limit development to a data center.
Unfortunately with the down turn in the economy, DP Vernon was unable to construct and
operate a data center and since 2007 the property has been vacant. DP Vernon is currently in the
process of selling the property to Bel Air Soto and has requested the City to release the deed
restriction to enable the future property owner to develop the property.
In an interest to see future development on the property staff is proposing to release the deed
restriction for $200,000.
