In order to accommodate minimal trail widths, this alignment will require demolition of the facility at 21340 Soledad Canyon Road (commonly known as Far West Rent-A-Car). Under a separate agenda item presented to the City Council on this date, staff has requested authorization to acquire the master leasehold interests to the facility. Provided that the City Council approves this request, termination of tenant and subtenant leases may proceed in accordance with State relocation guidelines. Currently, one tenant (Far West Rent-A-Car) and two subtenants (Comfortubs, and Down and Under) occupy the facility. One of the subtenants, Comfortubs, has agreed to relocate their business and vacate the premises by December 1, 1994. In accordance with relocation guidelines, Comfortubs will be eligible up to $10,000 for re-establishment costs over an 18 -month period from the date of vacation. The other subtenant, Down and Under, would like to take advantage of either re-establishment costs or "in -lieu" opportunities afforded under the relocation guidelines, and has agreed to vacate the premises by March 30, 1995. Provided these costs can be substantiated, this could total up to $20,000. Staff requests City Council authorization to proceed with these business relocations, provided that the acquisition of the master leasehold interests (provided under separate agenda report this date) is approved. It should be noted that negotiations with the third tenant, Far West Rent-A-Car, are still in process. Staff will be submitting a recommendation regarding Far West once these negotiations are reconciled. Funds, through a discretionary Proposition C grant, are available in account no. 17-99029-227 for this purpose.
