Council Meeting: November 12, 2002 Santa Monica, California
To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Staff
Subject: Authorization to Negotiate Terms and Conditions for Acquisition of
Real Property Located at 1751 ? 1753 Cloverfield Boulevard
Introduction
The two-story commercial property located at 1751 ? 1753 Cloverfield Boulevard is
currently vacant and available for purchase. The approximately 33,700 square foot site
is zoned LMSD, Light Manufacturing Studio District, and is improved with a two-story,
22,000 square foot building formerly used for light industrial purposes.
Discussion
Acquisition of property fronting on Cloverfield Boulevard between Michigan Avenue and
Twenty-Sixth Streets is not a part of any currently defined City project. However, the
site at 1751-1753 Cloverfield Boulevard has been identified as useable for a variety of
potential public purposes including, but not limited to, possible social service programs
such as Ocean Park Community Center/Daybreak funded through Community and
Cultural Services Department.
If City Council authorizes staff to discuss possible acquisition of the property with its
owners or representatives, staff would return to Council for further authorization to
acquire the property on behalf of the City.

the owners or representatives of the real property located at 1751 ? 1753 Cloverfield
Boulevard for its possible acquisition by the City.
