Explanation

§                     In June 2007, City Council approved a Purchase and Sale Agreement, and additional related agreements, with the Scaleybark Partners, LLC for the sale of 16 acres of land to construct a transit-oriented development (TOD) at the LYNX Scaleybark Light Rail Station. The Developer closed on the property on February 29, 2008.

§                     The original scope of the development agreements included:

-                     Completion of 80 affordable housing units to serve households at or below 60% of the area median income,

-                     Completion of a temporary Park & Ride facility for CATS riders,

-                     Completion of a permanent Park & Ride facility for CATS riders,

-                     Installation of open space at Linear Park, and

-                     Completion of streetscape improvements along South Boulevard bordering the property.

§                     To-date, Scaleybark Partners, LLC has accomplished the following:

-                     Master-planned the development to include office space, retail, hotel rooms, and multifamily and townhome units,

-                     Completed the temporary Park & Ride facility,

-                     Completed the Linear Park open space,

-                     Completed the streetscape improvements along South Boulevard,

-                     Completed, in cooperation with the City, a master storm water detention pond.

§                     The outstanding items the Developer must deliver are 80 units of affordable housing and the permanent Park & Ride facility.

§                     Staff requests a 90-day extension in order to renegotiate the existing deadlines with the Developer and finalize the vision for the Scaleybark Development.
