REGULAR MEETING (Vancouver City Hall, Council Chambers) The meeting agenda materials referenced in these minutes can be found online.
ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The September 19, 2019 meeting of the City Center Redevelopment Authority was called to order at 12:11 pm by President Richard Keller in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 415 W. 6th Street, Vancouver, Washington.
Present: Richard Keller, Dick Krippaehne, Brad Hutton, David Copenhaver, Debi Ewing, Marc Fazio Absent: Jack Onder
ITEM 2: APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Ewing, seconded by Krippaehne, and carried unanimously to approve the minutes from September 19, 2019.
ITEM 3: AC MARRIOT HOTEL DESIGN REVIEW Item Summary Keith Jones, Senior Planner, City of Vancouver introduced the AC Marriot Hotel project. The project is a component of the Port of Vancouver’s waterfront masterplan. Without a developer agreement, the design review is an administrative decision not requiring action from the CCRA board. The seven-story, 150-room hotel building will be located on block D of the Port of Vancouver master plan, at the corner of Daniels Way and Columbia Way, north of the Vancouver Landing Amphitheater and west of the Terminal 1 site. The building will contain structured parking on the second and third floors, 1,500 square feet of leasable retail and a ballroom on the first floor and 4,500 square feet of leasable office space on the seventh floor. A Z-shaped building form was selected for floors four through seven to maximize views of the river and downtown. The main façade will be a silver metal panel, with darker grey accents. The garage will be screened with faux wood aluminum fins in varying widths. The lower level will be a combination of masonry and glazing. The main lobby and lounge will be open, allowing views from the porte-cochere and driveway through to the second entrance towards the river and renaissance trail. The exposed areas above the garage will contain landscaped green roofs without guest access. City Center Redevelopment Authority | Meeting Minutes September 19, 2019 Page 2 of 4
Board Discussion Chair Keller expressed appreciation for the design. No suggestions were made.
ITEM 4: BLOCK 10 REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND DRAFT DDA ELEMENTS Item Summary Chad Eiken, Community and Economic Development Director, introduced the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Holland Partner Group for the redevelopment of Block 10. In May of 2019, City Council gave staff direction to enter into exclusive negotiations with Holland Partner Group. Elements in the resulting LOI will be transferred into a Disposition and Development Agreement and a Lease Agreement, which will go to City Council in late October.
The Block 10 building consists of a 5-story residential tower and a 4-story office tower above an enclosed 2-story, 110-stall parking structure with retail on the ground floor. A courtyard above the parking deck will provide common space for both the residents and office tenants. The Holland Partner Group has asked for a code amendment that would allow the building to encroach five feet over the public sidewalk for the full height of the building, which would be 75 to 80 feet in height. A detailed project description and substantive elements of the LOI were described in the staff report provided.
Board Discussion David Copenhaver expressed support for allowing the five-foot overhang to extend up the full height of the building, stating that it would set a positive precedent. He commended the attractive and functional design of the building. Board members Krippaehne and Ewing agreed that the renderings had improved since the Development Subcommittee meeting and expressed appreciation for the current design. Marc Fazio recalled that the board had hesitated to endorse a residential use of the site, and stated that this project stays true to the board’s vision of encouraging employment downtown and that the ability to retain Holland Partner Group headquarters in downtown Vancouver made this project especially important.
The board asked how the 3% CPI cap was determined. Staff indicated that this had been a negotiated value, and as this is the City’s first ground lease opportunity, the negotiation team felt comfortable with 3% despite it being towards the low end of their range. President Keller encouraged staff to reinvest the revenue from the ground lease into future economic development projects, as consistent with the origin and purpose of the City Center Redevelopment Authority.
Motion by Ewing, seconded by Copenhaver, and carried unanimously to recommend approval of the project to City Council, recognizing that the elements within the LOI will form the terms of the Disposition and Development Agreement and the lease agreement.
ITEM 5: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN CITY OF VANCOUVER AND CITY CENTER REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE WATERFRONT GATEWAY PROPERTIES Item Summary Teresa Brum, Economic Development Division Manager, introduced the latest version of the draft Memorandum of Understanding between City of Vancouver and City Center Redevelopment Authority City Center Redevelopment Authority | Meeting Minutes September 19, 2019 Page 3 of 4
for the Waterfront Gateway Properties (“MOU”) and the project manager, John Collum. Staff summarized the most recent revisions to the MOU. The draft has been reformatted so that the responsibilities of both parties are more clearly organized, specific language has been added to address the intended relationship between the parties and a section titled Future Agreement has been added to address future resource needs for the CCRA. A detailed summary of changes was included in the staff report provided with the meeting materials.
Board Discussion David Copenhaver asked for clarification on the funding for the project. Staff stated that $250,000 had been allocated in the City’s biennial budget for consultant funding, not including City staff. So far, SERA Architects and Rick Williams have been engaged, and staff expects to hire consultants for the convention center expansion analysis and outside legal counsel on behalf of the CCRA in the near future. Once the MOU is in place, the CCRA would guide the allocation of the budget, but the City will continue to manage the financial activity of the project. Staff will provide the board with a monthly budget summary to aid their decisions.
Board members Krippaehne, Hutton and Fazio expressed that they had no further concerns about the draft MOU.
Motion by Krippaehne, seconded by Fazio, and carried unanimously to recommend approval of the Memorandum of Understanding between City of Vancouver and City Center Redevelopment Authority for the Waterfront Gateway Properties.
ITEM 6: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT Item Summary Chad Eiken reported an update to the Development Project List, numbers 36, 151-157. Please see “CCRA Updated Development Project List and Map” dated September 2019.

CITY CENTER REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY STAFF REPORT
TO: CCRA Board of Directors
DATE: October 11, 2019
FROM: John Collum, Economic Development Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Waterfront Gateway Updates
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): • Following the CCRA Board’s approval of the draft MOU at its September meeting, staff presented its contents to the Vancouver City Council during a September 23, 2019 workshop. At the workshop, staff also presented an overview of the Waterfront Gateway site and preparations for its future planning and development, along with CCRA background, qualifications and interest in taking a leading role in the Waterfront Gateway project. • Council members indicated their support for moving forward with the project with CCRA taking the lead. Council members also requested the formalization of an MOU with the contents provided in the staff presentation and adding references to workforce development strategies and housing options available to people with a variety of incomes (affordable/income-based, workforce and market rate) as core values to the project. Council members requested that CCRA monthly meetings be televised on CCTV and to keep the City’s Planning Commission briefed and informed on the project as it moves forward. • The attached MOU has been updated to reflect the additional references requested by City Council (see Section 1.D). The Council is requested to approve the MOU at its October 21, 2019 meeting. • Upon Council approval, CCRA President Keller and City Manager Holmes will be requested to execute the document.
Visioning Workshop #2: • On September 19, 2019, the project team and SERA Architects hosted a community open house at City Hall as Visioning Workshop #2 for the Waterfront Gateway project. • Community members were invited to drop in and review, comment and build upon the visioning concepts created at the Board’s Visioning Workshop #1 held in July. Attendees were able to view images of successful downtowns and districts from around the country and were asked how these ideas could fit into Waterfront Gateway’s future development. Interactive props for hands-on input were also featured. Forty-five attendees signed in (with approximately 10 or more other attendees that dropped in). Those who are unable to attend the workshop were provided the opportunity to respond to the workshop’s exercises through an online portal (www.beheardvancouver.org) from September 23-October 7. Approximately 40 visitors provided comments through this effort. 1
• SERA is currently compiling a summary of Visioning Workshop #2 and the online feedback. The summary will be presented to the Board at its November 21, 2019 meeting, which will also serve as the final visioning session (Workshop #3) prior to issuing the master developer request for qualifications later this year.
Parking Analysis: • As a follow-up to a group meeting held on August 21, 2019, consultant Rick Williams held a series of meetings on October 8th and 10th with four prospective partners that may participate in a proposed Waterfront Gateway parking garage. Mr. Williams and project staff reviewed future parking needs of the Downtown Redevelopment Authority/Hilton Hotel, the Port of Vancouver USA (for its Terminal 1 master plan), the City of Vancouver, and Hurley Development (Hurley Office Building and Hyatt Place Hotel). Data collected from the partners will be utilized to develop models to gauge the prospective size of the proposed garage, looking at both exclusive and shared space scenarios based upon land uses and parking needs. • Results of the parking models are expected to be presented to the Board at its November meeting.
Project Budget: • An update on the project budget will be presented to the Board as part of staff presentation on October 17th.
Other Items: • Convention Center Expansion Feasibility Analysis: Project staff is drafting a request for proposals to select a consultant to assist the City in conducting a feasibility analysis on a potential expansion of the Vancouver Convention Center. • Master Developer Request for Qualifications (RFQ): Project staff has started drafting the RFQ. A framework/outline of the RFQ will be presented to the Board’s Development Subcommittee in early November for input.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING between CITY OF VANCOUVER
AND CITY CENTER REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY for THE WATERFRONT GATEWAY PROPERTIES
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) entered into this __ day of _____, 2019 between
City of Vancouver (“City”), a municipal corporation formed under the laws of the State of
Washington, and City Center Redevelopment Authority (“Authority”), a legal entity created pursuant to 35.21 RCW, and jointly hereinafter referred to as the “Parties.”
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, by Ordinance M-3739 approved on February 27, 2006, the City Council formally established the Authority to assist with the City’s important policy goal of redevelopment in the downtown area of the City of Vancouver, authorized its charter (“Charter”) and bylaws, and established its Board of Directors to govern the affairs of the Authority;
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an Interlocal Agreement on March 27, 2006, that specifies certain terms and conditions allowing the Authority to obtain management, administrative, financial, and certain legal services from the City while the Authority undertakes, assists with and facilitates the implementation of the Vancouver City Center Vision Plan
(“VCCV Plan”);
WHEREAS, the Interlocal Agreement and the Charter adopted pursuant to Ordinance
M-3739 further establish that redevelopment of the VCCV Plan area by the Authority serves
1
essential public purposes by relieving blight; undertaking development of an underutilized area in a manner consistent with city planning; facilitating private investment and economic development which will build the City’s tax base and create jobs; and providing for the development of public amenities, public parking facilities, recreational and entertainment facilities, and connections to the riverfront, and coordination of waterfront redevelopment efforts all of which are in the public interest;
WHEREAS, the Interlocal Agreement and Charter also provide that the Authority shall acquire and manage real property; secure financing; undertake the development and redevelopment, construction and maintenance of structures and facilities, including public amenities; and enter into agreements with cultural, public, and other not-for-profit entities or with private developers proposing to develop public facilities or retail, mixed-use, office, and entertainment projects or residential projects in the VCCV Plan area;
WHEREAS, the Authority’s Charter further establishes that, consistent with applicable law and utilizing all lawful means, the Authority shall work to facilitate and maximize private sector participation in such projects;
WHEREAS, the Authority’s Board of Directors is comprised of individuals who have exceptional expertise in urban land development, along with real estate transactions and financing;
WHEREAS, since its establishment, the Authority has advised the City on many important projects, particularly downtown projects located along the Columbia River (CWLCC
Development’s Waterfront Vancouver and the Port of Vancouver USA’s Terminal 1 master plans), numerous Multi-Family Tax Exemption Program applications, and through its predecessor the Downtown Redevelopment Authority (DRA), several projects within the Esther
2
Short Redevelopment Plan area, particularly the Vancouver Convention Center/Hotel Project whereby the DRA oversaw planning, financial projections, and construction and now oversees on-going management with the Hilton Corporation and advisors;
WHEREAS, the City owns or controls approximately 6.4 acres of real property and the
Webber Building located within the VCCV Plan area and adjacent to Vancouver City Hall,
Vancouver Convention Center, and Hilton Vancouver Washington hotel (collectively, the
“Adjacent Facilities”) bounded by 6th Street to the north, Columbia Street to the east, and the railroad berm to the south and west. The real properties are currently used as vacant open space and surface parking for the Adjacent Facilities, while the Webber Building is leased for office tenants. The real properties and Webber Building are hereafter referred to collectively as the
“Waterfront Gateway Properties” (see Exhibit A);
WHEREAS, the Waterfront Gateway Properties represent one of the largest remaining undeveloped contiguous properties in Downtown, and are strategically located between two centers of current development activity within the downtown core and waterfront areas;
WHEREAS, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 created Opportunity Zones, a new community investment tool designed to drive long-term capital into rural and low-income urban communities throughout the nation, and the Waterfront Gateway Properties are located within a designated Opportunity Zone. Opportunity Zones provide a significant new source of development funding and may increase developer and investor interest in the site. The
Opportunity Zone incentive allows investors to defer paying taxes on capital gains invested in
Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOF) up to December 31, 2026; reduce the original capital gain taxes payable by allowing for a modest step-up in basis for QOF investments that are held beyond five and seven years (i.e., for an investment held at least five years, the investor’s basis is
3
increased by 10 percent of the original gain; for investments held for at least seven years, the investor’s basis is increased by 15 percent of the original gain); and pay no taxes on new or incremental capital gains resulting from a QOF investment held for 10 or more years;
WHEREAS, the City desires to consider options for the disposition or leasing and development of the Waterfront Gateway Properties to build on the successful redevelopment efforts of the Esther Short Redevelopment Plan and VCCV Plan, as well as important developments such as the Adjacent Facilities, Waterfront Vancouver, Vancouvercenter, and other nearby residential and commercial developments;
WHEREAS, the City Council has included funding in its 2019-2020 biennial budget for professional services needed to plan and develop the Waterfront Gateway Properties in order to allow the City to capitalize on waterfront and other downtown development momentum
(CD00120 City-Owned Properties Plan);
WHEREAS, the Authority is authorized to assist in downtown redevelopment and the
City Council desires to engage the Authority to lead the planning and development of the
Waterfront Gateway Properties, thereby taking full advantage of the Authority Board of
Directors’ expertise and experience in this area; recognizing that more fully utilizing a development authority is part of the City’s evolution moving from a suburban community to a more urban community; and acknowledging the complexities of developing in an urban environment necessitates the Authority’s larger engagement;
WHEREAS, as part of its past involvement in projects of similar size and complexity such as the Vancouver Convention Center/Hotel Project and other Esther Short Redevelopment
Plan projects, the Authority was provided dedicated staffing prior to 2009 and will need to have
4
an adequate level of staffing dedicated or funded by the City in order to successfully lead the planning and development of the Waterfront Gateway Properties;
WHEREAS, to ensure that the Authority facilitates redevelopment in accordance with agreed standards, and that the Parties continue to work together efficiently, effectively and in close communication, the Parties desire to set forth objectives, standards and decision-making processes for accomplishing these joint goals in regard to the Waterfront Gateway Properties; and
WHEREAS, this MOU is intended to set forth the process and framework for identifying and planning for the disposition or leasing and development of the Waterfront Gateway
Properties.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it understood that the Parties agree to undertake the following:
Section 1. Purpose
A. The Parties have a mutual interest in planning and developing the Waterfront Gateway
Properties to create a branded destination district (the “Project”) that connects other key
downtown activity areas including the waterfront, Fort Vancouver and downtown core.
The Project is envisioned as one that is active, urban, inviting and mixed-use with
cross-site pedestrian connectivity, and that may include any combination of residential,
retail, office, visitor, cultural, signature attraction, and structured parking uses. The
Parties enter into this memorandum with the understanding that all activities,
transactions, development and uses related to the Project achieve a result that capitalizes
on the strategic location of the site; provides a degree of public benefits deemed
necessary for the location and character of the site; and produces a branded environment
that attracts the Vancouver community and other visitors that will enjoy and visit it often.
5
B. To accomplish this and on behalf of the City, the Authority will manage all activities
necessary to plan and ultimately develop the Waterfront Gateway Properties, in
accordance with the duties and powers bestowed upon the Authority through Ordinance
M-3739, its Charter, the Interlocal Agreement, and this MOU.
C. The purpose of this MOU is to document the Parties’ understanding regarding how and
when this effort shall be undertaken.
D. The Parties share several core principles in the design and development of the Waterfront
Gateway Properties as publicly-owned assets that can be leveraged to more broadly
benefit the Vancouver community. Noteworthy among them are a commitment to
optimize workforce and business development strategies as part of the Project; consider a
mixed-income environment with housing options that are affordable to people with a
variety of income levels, including income-based, workforce and market rate housing;
and continuously evaluate the Project for cost-effectiveness, taking into consideration
initial development costs, administrative and oversight project costs, and ongoing
operational and maintenance costs.
E. While the responsibilities related to the Project are identified in Section “3” below, the
Parties anticipate that future amendments to this MOU and/or the Interlocal Agreement
may be necessary to complete the Project through the pre-development, development and
post-development phases including use of property disposition or lease proceeds, related
financial matters, use of development incentives, and ongoing operational, financial,
maintenance and ownership responsibilities of public benefits and facilities constructed
as part of the Project.
6
Section 2. The Properties
The real properties which are the subject of this MOU consist of the parcels listed in Exhibit
B. The properties are also depicted on the map attached as Exhibit A. In addition to these
properties, it is anticipated that adjacent parcels containing the Adjacent Facilities and
Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Plaza park, and public streets located within the
Waterfront Gateway Properties area including Phil Arnold Way and Esther Street may be
considered in planning the Project.
Section 3. Responsibilities of the Parties
A. Jointly, the Parties agree to work cooperatively to:
1. Commit to a development strategy that results in a master plan for the Waterfront
Gateway Properties that meets the agreed-upon purpose statement in Section 1.A of
this MOU.
2. Develop a funding plan for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of
potential public benefits and facilities included in the Project, including utilization of
disposition or lease proceeds for funding the project’s public benefits and facilities.
3. Recognize cost-effectiveness as a core shared principle and continuously evaluate all
aspects of the project as they evolve against this.
4. Communicate frequently during developer negotiations, especially on items that
obligate the City financially including terms and conditions for the City’s selling
and/or leasing of properties and utilization of disposition or lease proceeds.
5. Craft a partnership that inspires investment from other philanthropic, government and
private partners.
7

provided by the City in its 2019-2020 biennial budget designated for professional
services for planning and development of the Waterfront Gateway Properties; remain
within the budget limits provided; and if additional funding is necessary to administer
the project, submit adequate justification to the City for consideration and approval.
2. Hold a series of visioning workshops to establish a conceptual development vision for
the Waterfront Gateway Properties including need for potential public benefits and
facilities and desired mix of public and private uses.
i. The workshops will be led by a visioning consultant and open to the public.
Project stakeholders will be invited and encouraged to attend and participate.

construction of publicly-owned facilities as necessary with private construction.
9. As part of it negotiations, utilize disposition or lease proceeds that may result from
the Waterfront Gateway Properties’ disposition or lease and development for funding
construction and operation of public benefits and facilities that may be included in the
Project, such as structured parking and publicly-accessible spaces and facilities, all
within the provisions and requirements of Ordinance M-3739 and the Charter.
10. Submit to and recommend for approval by City Council a master plan and all
necessary agreements (“Master Development Package”). The Master Development
Package is anticipated to include a master plan for development of the Waterfront
Gateway Properties, proposed negotiated disposition or lease agreements, proposed
development agreements, funding plan with budgets and funding requests for public
9
benefits and facilities, public facility management and operation plan, a development
schedule, and any other items needed to approve and implement development of the
Waterfront Gateway Properties.
