MEETING DATE: MARCH 4, 2014
TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS /CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR PREPARATION OF VACANT PROPERTY FOR
VEHICLE STORAGE AT 15171 DEL AMO AVENUE
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting an appropriation of $170,000 from the undesignated, unappropriated General
Fund Reserve to the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 200) to cover the cost of preparing the vacant
portion of the City owned property at 15171 Del Amo Avenue. The improvement of the vacant lot
will accommodate storm water quality enhancement and the flexibility to store new vehicle
inventory currently being kept at the Tustin Metrolink Station by various auto dealerships in the
Tustin Auto Center. New sidewalk along the frontage Del Amo Avenue to Newport Avenue will
also be incorporated.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council appropriate $170,000 from the undesignated
unappropriated General Fund Reserve to the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 200) to provide for site
enhancements for the City owned property at 15171 Del Amo Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimate for the proposed site preparation and sidewalk installation is $170,000. Capital
expenditure will be offset by anticipated lease revenue of approximately $10,000 per month.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
This project contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal C, Strategy #2 to explore
opportunities for increased revenues.
DISCUSSION
The City currently leases parking spaces within the Tustin Metrolink Station Parking Structure to
various automobile dealerships in the Tustin Auto Center for storage of new vehicle inventory.
Current occupants include Tustin Toyota /Scion, DCH Tustin Acura, Tustin Mazda, and Tustin
Hyundai. In an effort to better utilize City owned vacant property, enhance revenue potential and
improve parking availability for Metrolink commuters, staff is recommending enhancing this vacant
lot to improve water quality and provide for interim vehicle storage to maintain the revenue stream
generated by the leasing of the spaces to the auto dealerships. A portion of the City's existing
building and parking lot, which abuts the proposed site, is currently being used for the same
purpose.
In order to prepare the site to be suitable for storage of new vehicles, it is proposed that crushed
miscellaneous base material (CMB) be imported from a nearby stockpile located in Tustin Legacy,

placed on the site, and compacted. In addition, an access driveway on Newport Avenue and a
perimeter fence with aesthetic green screen are proposed.
The requested appropriation also includes funds to construct a sidewalk along the property
frontage on Del Arno Avenue to close the gap between the end of the existing sidewalk and the
curb ramp at the northeast corner of Newport Avenue and Del Amo Avenue.
Following informal bidding procedures, bids were solicited and received from three contractors
qualified to perform the work. The lowest bid was received from Hardy & Harper, Inc. in the
amount of $128,376, with the additional sidewalk installation conservatively estimated at $26,000.
