The Development Plan also suggests that miscellaneous buildings including various offices, equipment maintenance buildings of various sizes and construction types, a bowling alley, a gymnasium and a swimming pool may be demolished, as they are not suitable for Port industrial use. The combination of the deficiencies discussed earlier in this Report prevents the Project Area from functioning efficiently as a port facility. Due to the insufficiencies and the extraordinary cost to improve these buildings for modern operations, approximately $30 to $40 per square foot, buildings must be demolished to make room for modern port or other commercial transportation operations. It is also important to note that most of the buildings in the Project Area were likely to be constructed with hazardous materials or contaminants that were not known to be dangerous materials at the time these buildings were constructed, but are known to be dangerous today. The fact that the cost to improve, rehabilitate, and upgrade these structures out-weighs the cost to demolish these buildings casts considerable doubt on any degree of reuse potential for these structures. Buildings that, When Built, Did Not Conform to the Then Effective Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, or Electrical Codes Adopted by the Community Where the Project Area is Located Evidence of the non-conformance of structures in the Project Area to building codes in existence when the structures were built is not readily determinable from the field survey or the data received from City staff at this time. However, because buildings in the Project Area were located on land designated for military use, construction of buildings in the Project Area were not subject to conformance with local building, plumbing, mechanical or electric codes. Therefore, it is reasonable to assert that these structures did not conform to local codes when built, and remain in non-compliance with applicable codes. Properties Included for Redevelopment Purposes The proposed Project Area is composed of a single parcel, which is blighted, as discussed previously in this section of the Report, and no other non- blighted properties are included for effective redevelopment.
