there is currently an issue in that part of town with subsidence. She asked staff if any of the changes that are occurring with the subsidence in the Verona area will impact or has impacted this area? Mr. Swift was not aware of any impacts to this site. He noted that one of the creeks runs behind the Nearon Enterprises' property. In response to an inquiry by Ms. Ayala, Mr. Swift noted that Valley Care has an option to purchase this property but it may not purchase the property until the minor subdivision is approved and a parcel map is recorded. Ms. Ayala asked if everyone was aware of the problems that are occurring in the Verona area? Mr. Swift believed that the pumhasers of both lots would be aware of what has happened in various sites within the Hacienda Business Park. Ms. Ayala was aware that there were subsidence problems in the Verona area which was why she was concerned when the Verona property owner had brought it to Council's attention. Ms. Tracy Nerland clarified that this subdivision has no effect on what could be subject to a referendum. A legislative action by the Council is subjective to a referendum (zoning change, General Plan amendment, and PUD), but an adjudicated action (use permit) is not subject to a referendum under California law. Mayor Pico declared the public heating open. Tony Perino, 500 La G onda Way, Suite 210, Danville, owner/applicant, informed Council that Nearon Enterprises purchased the office building and the extra land from Hewlett Packard four years ago. At the time Nearon Enterprises purchased the building, Hewlett Packard was still a tenant, as was the University of Phoenix. Several years later, Nearon Enterprises entered into lease negotiations with Valley Care to lease the property, as Valley Care was looking for additional space as part of the hospital's expansion plans. The lease agreement that Nearon Enterprises entered into with Valley Care was a long- term agreement for the entire building. A provision was included in the long-term lease agreement that provided Valley Care an option to purchase the building, and one year after the lease agreement commenced, Valley Care exercised its option to purchase the building. He pointed out that Valley Care is only purchasing one parcel. The long-term lease agreement does not cover the extra five acres, and a condition of the sale was that Nearon Enterprises would have to subdivide the property into two parcels. Nearon Enterprises began working with staff to develop a parcel map so that there would be two legal parcels. One legal parcel will be for the building that Valley Care currently leases and will own, and the remaining parcel will be a five-acre parcel that Nearon Enterprises will continue to own and hold for future development opportunity.
