In response to Council, Mr. Joseph explained that once escrow is completed for Parcel "A", the Zoeter School property, with the exception of the parcel formerly used as the bus barn, will belong to the City in some form. In further response to Council, Mr. Rudell pointed out that a legal analysis of Initiative Measure "A" had been prepared by the City Attorney and concluded that if Measure "A" were approved and applied to Parcel "A" of the Zoeter property, the ultimate impact would be that the Redevelopment Agency would default on its purchase of the property under the master lease, the property would be rezoned, and the developer would be unable to proceed, noting that the Agency and/or City would most likely be subject to litigation with the developer, and that the School District would regain the property and in turn come back to the City for rezoning of the property at their request.
