By Minute Motion, that the City Council approve $60,000 in Facade
Enhancement Program consideration funds to 20 El Paseo, LLC, for "20
El Paseo" located at 73-020 El Paseo.
Executive Summary:
Approval of the request will provide City assistance to rehabilitate the exterior of the
subject property and is within the guidelines of the Facade Enhancement Program.
Denial of the request will not allow City assistance.
Discussion:
20 El Paseo, LLC, are the owners of "20 El Paseo" at 73-020 El Paseo. The City
Council, at its January 26, 2006 meeting, amended the FEP guidelines to include
parcels with frontage on the west side of Highway 74 between El Paseo and Highway
111. The FEP guidelines allow for standard sized Tots (60-foot frontage, 12,000 square
feet) to receive consideration for half the cost of improvements to a maximum of
$40,000. Larger properties are eligible for additional funds with City Council approval,
which is applicable to this property. The property's total frontage is 109 lineal feet, and
it is approximately 22,000 square feet in area. The size of this property makes it eligible
for FEP consideration funds to a maximum of $60,000 subject to City Council approval.

Staff Report
Approval of FEP Consideration Funds to 20 El Paseo LLC
Page 2 of 2
May 10, 2007
Staff has been assisting the former and current owners since 2002 and has encouraged
major remodeling of this property. The projected cost to complete the improvements as
approved by the Architectural Commission on October 11, 2006, is $843,000.
Currently, work on the subject property is underway. The improvements will
dramatically alter the appearance and architecture of the building and are more
significant in scope than most FEP projects. The design and scope of this project is
similar to previously approved FEP projects at 73-010 and 73-030 El Paseo, which have
been completed.
Staff presented this project to the Retail Committee on April 19, 2007 for its review and
direction. The Retail Committee took into consideration the location, size, and scope of
the proposed project, and felt that this project merited FEP consideration funding in the
eligible amount. Staff concurs with the Retail Committee and recommends funding in
the amount of $60,000 from the Facade Enhancement Program.
