AGENDA REPORT BY:
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Wayne Loftus, Director of Community Development li�,,--"
DATE: January 8, 2001 (CC meeting of January 17, 2001)
SUBJECT: Consider Granting an Extension of Time for Payment of Past
Due Processing Fees as Required for an Extension of Time
for Commercial Planned Development No. 96 -03 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 96 -02 for Development of the
Westgate Plaza on the North Side of Los Angeles Avenue
Between Mission Bell Plaza and Shasta Avenue on the
Request of A. DeeWayne Jones.
BACKGROUND
On December 6, 2000, the City Council approved a request by the
applicant for Commercial Planned Development No. 96 -03 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 96 -02 for an extension of time beyond the
initial three (3) year time limit, since approval of the project on
September 17, 1997. The City Council approved an extension for an
additional one (1) year period to September 17, 2001, and granted
the Director of Community Development the discretion to grant an
additional six (6) months extension, which if granted, would end on
March 17, 2002. The action taken by the City Council on December 6,
2000, was contingent upon the outstanding project processing balance
of approximately $20,000 being paid to the City by December 29,
2000.
DISCUSSION
The outstanding processing fees required by the City Council to be
paid by December 29, 2000, were not received by this deadline. The
applicant has requested an additional period of time in which to
provide payment of the required fees. The attached letter received
on January 2, 2001, requests the City Council establish June 30,
2001, as the final date for payment of the past due project
processing fees.

The applicant in the attached letter indicates that the potential
buyer, Greenway Development, requested additional time of the seller
in late December 2000, to determine the feasibility of the project
and therefore did not deliver monies to the applicant that could
have been used to address the payment issue with the City. Should
the City Council conclude that granting additional time to June
2001, is desirable, the date selected for payment should be June 29,
2001, as June 30, 2001, is a Saturday or be established as July 2,
2001 (Monday) .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve applicant's request to allow the payment of past due fees by
not later than June 29, 2001.

Re: Westgate Plaza - Time extension for S20K owed to the City
Dear Mayor Hunter:
In late October, Greenway Development Company of Agoura Hills made an offer on
Westgate Plaza.
Their Feasibility Period ended on December 28, 2000, at which time they were to release
$20K to the City per our agreement.
Larry Green, one of the Principals, called on the 27`' and asked for an extension of 2 -3
weeks. He stated that because of the Holidays some key people were gone and there were some
issues regarding his financing that needed to be resolved.
Greenway has accomplished a lot in just two months. I like their proposal of an upscale
office project with no retail. Should they not be able to secure financing then I must go back to
the marketplace.
Would the Council consider extending the time period to June 30, 2001, just in case my
Escrow with Greenway Development does not close? Westgate Plaza has paid over $400K in
various City fees including the $287K Storm Drain Lien paid last April. Payment on this lien
was not required or expected until a building permit was issued.
Thank you for considering my request.
