A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL, OF A GRANT DEED, AUTHORIZING THE
TRANSFER OF 11.5 ACRES KNOWN AS A.P.N. 694-160-003 / PARCEL B
FROM THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE, PURSUANT TO EXISTING DISPOSITION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND OPTION AGREEMENT (JOINT
CONSIDERATION WITH THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL).
Mr. Alvarez stated this item was a culmination of the last step to transfer 11.5
acres to University of Califomia, Riverside (UCR) to facilitate the School of
Medicine (SOM) at the Cal State Campus, University site, which is off Frank
Sinatra Drive. Back in 2001/2002, the former Redevelopment Agency entered into
a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) and an Option Agreement to
facilitate the transfer of the 11.5 acres, when and if, UCR met a certain criteria
outlined in the agreements. Last year UCR approached the City about moving
forward with the transfer, and they provided the documentation outlined in the
DDA's to allow it to happen. Given the fact that this parcel was former
Redevelopment Agency property and now held under Successor Agency assets,
staff requested both the Oversight Board and the Department of Finance (DOF)
to approve moving forward with the transfer. Both the Oversight Board and DOF
have granted their approval, because this was an existing contract prior to the
dissolution of RDA. The final step is to execute a grant deed, which has been
prepared in draft form for Council's review. He is currently working with City and
UCR's Legal Counsel to finalize the language on three primary points as outlined
in the staff report and grant deed. The three conditions being worked on are as
follows: First, the City's ability to review access points and right-of-way issues once
they start development of the future School of Medicine. Second, City would have
the ability to review the aesthetics of the building, massing, location of heights, and
architectural review from City staff. Third, site would be prohibited from being
transferred or sold to any other entity for the period by which is identified in the
DDA, which is a 25-year period. He said staff was seeking Council approval to
move forward with the Grant Deed that's being finalized with the assistance of City
Manager, City Attorney, and UCR's Legal Counsel. He said there was
representation from UCR to answer questions. Responding to question about

when construction of the first building will start, he said this action was the last step
that was necessary to finalize the transfer, and there is a full process a head for
UCR.
Councilman/Director Tanner asked if the Memorandum of Understanding included
the three conditions being worked on.
Mr. Alvarez responded both parties have agreed in concept to work within the
parameters of the three conditions as outlined in the staff report.
Mr. Erwin explained the exact language has not been totally worked out, but the
three conditions outlined in the staff report will have to be met accordingly in order
for the parcel to transfer. If for some unusual circumstance the conditions cannot
be met, staff will be back before the Council.
Councilman/Director Tanner moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Approve a Grant Deed as
to form, authorizing the conveyance of a portion of real property known as
APN 694-160-003 / Parcel B (11.5 acres) from the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency to the Regents of the University of Califomia (UCR), pursuant to existing
Disposition and Development Agreement and Option Agreement; 2) authorize the City Manager
and City Attorney to finalize the Grant Deed and execute same after final review by UCR.
Councilman/Director Spiegel asked when UCR planned to start building.
MR. TIMOTHY D. RALSTON, Associate Vice Chancellor for Capital Programs at
UCR, responded they envision to start building in 2013/2014, pending this
approval and having the Grant Deed worked out. He said this transfer needs to
go before UCR's Regents to accept the land, and then proceed with a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ). Subsequently, get a successful developer/partner, then
UCR will go into a complete design, and hopefully construction in 2013/2014; if
not, it will go to 2014/2015.
Councilman/Director Spiegel asked if all the financial problems at the main
campus with the doctorate business affect this agreement.
MR. RALSTON responded UCR was not relying on State funding to assist with
this, it will go through a third -party development, which is what the RFQ process
will be for.
Mayor/Chair Harnik stated the sooner it happens the happier everyone will be, and
the school will be a tremendous asset to Palm Desert and the entire Coachella
Valley.
Councilman/Director Spiegel seconded the motion, and it carried by a 5-0 vote.
