Hearing on Embassy Suites Development Agreement,

The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors heretofore noticed
this date for the hearing to consider approval of a Development
Agreement between the County of Contra Costa and Embassy Suites,
Inc. for the Embassy Suites Hotel Project in the southern half of
Area B in the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area Specific Plan, ,
located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Oak Road
and Treat Boulevard.
Harvey Bragdon, Director, Community Development Department,
advised the Board of the Zoning Administrator's recommendation
for approval of the Ordinance for the Development Agreement, and
commented that the Development Agreement is consistent with the
approvals previously given by the Planning Commission and the
Board and the final review of building plans has been . completed
in accordance with that approval.
The public hearing was opened and the following person
appeared to speak:
Sanford Skaggs, 1855 Olympic Boulevard, Walnut Creek,
representing the applicant, Embassy .Suites, Inc. urged approval
of the Ordinance.
The public hearing was closed.
Supervisor McPeak requested clarification from staff on the
issue of the application of the policy adopted in concept by the
Board that within the County's Redevelopment Agency areas a
policy of prevailing wage should be applied to all construction
therein. She noted that this matter was not addressed in the
proposed Development Agreement before the Board and questioned
whether the policy when adopted could be applied to the
construction of this facility.
Victor Westman, County Counsel, responded that unless the
agreement contains some provision for inclusion of the prevailing
wage policy it would not apply. Mr. Westman suggested that the
Development Agreement could be approved on the condition that it
contains provisions making it subject to the pending
Redevelopment Agency prevailing wage policy and to the County
Counsel and applicant drafting and incorporating those provisions
into the Agreement. Also, Mr. Westman suggested the incorporated
wage policy could become operative when the Board of Supervisors
finally adopts the policy for Redevelopment Agency project if
done within the next year.
f
j ' Finally, Mr. Westman suggested that the Development
Agreement be approved subject to County Counsel and the applicant
reaching agreement for the addition of a provision to the
agreement that would obligate the person who is benefiting from
the Development Agreement to comply with the prevailing wage
policy adopted by the County for the Redevelopment Agency,
setting some time frame for this to occur.
Sanford Skaggs requested that the Development Agreement
either be approved as presented or as Mr. Westman suggested,
approved subject to Mr. Westman and Mr. Skaggs working out the
particular wording of the prevailing wage policy inclusion.
Supervisor McPeak moved approval of the Development
Agreement with Embassy Suites subject to County Counsel's above
suggested condition and County Counsel and the representative of
Embassy Suites reaching agreement on the particular wording for
compliance with a prevailing wage policy to be adopted within the
next twelve months by the Board of Supervisors .
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that:
1 . The Development Agreement between Embassy Suites and
Contra Costa County is APPROVED subject to the inclusion of the
above-noted prevailing wage provisions in it by the County
Counsel and Embassy Suites representative.
2 . The Director of Community Development is authorized to
execute the Agreement after the inclusion of the above-noted
provisions in it by the County Counsel and Embassy Suites .
3 . Ordinance No. 88-51 is adopted but shall not be
