EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The subject property is a ±39,662 square foot office, retail and theater building originally constructed in 1928, renovated in 1950 and updated in 2002. The subject has been designed as a historic landmark building. The improvements are comprised of four floors including street level retail, a 1,300 +/- seat theater and three floors of office space above and fronting the theater. All of the primary entrances are located along Broadway Street, while secondary entrances and emergency exit routes are located along the side and rear of the property. All of the upper floor spaces are accessed via several staircases located throughout the property. A single historical elevator not currently operational, is located within the entrance to the office space and is primarily for decorative purposes. Theatre The existing subject improvements consist of a single stage, 1,700+/- seat performance theater with balcony seating, totalling ±23,132 square feet. There is a large lobby area on both the main and balcony levels with a central refreshment/concession bar/counter. The theater slopes in a typical fashion downward toward the stage. Both the lobby and theater have ornate decorative finishes with decorative artwork located on the walls and ceiling areas. The theater portion of the building was built in an elaborate architectural style and features barrel and vaulted ceilings, painted walls made up of plaster with decorative wall treatments and ceiling accents. The auditorium makes up the portion of the ground floor. The vaulted ceiling is approximately four stories high and above the orchestra/main theater level is the balcony level. Behind this area is a former projection room which is now used for spot lighting for the state area. Theater space has small separate men s and women s restrooms on the main floor and additional ones on the balcony level. The main floor restrooms are dated and in fair condition while the balcony level have been remodeled and are in average to good condition. Office Office space is located on the second, third and fourth floors of the building and is accessed via a separate ground floor lobby, with a main entrance adjacent to the theater. The office space totals 9,643 rentable square feet. The second floor office space is in shell condition and has a low ceiling height. The third floor office space has central area common men s and women s restrooms serving the second through fourth floors. Ground Floor Retail The subject property has three ground floor retail suites totaling 6,887 square feet of the overall building. The retail space is located on either side of the covered main entrance to the theater lobby. The largest retail suite is 2,678 square feet and formerly housed the Little Fox Theater nightclub. This suite is two stories high with an open area at the center surrounding the small stage. There is a beverage bar near the front door and two sets of restrooms on each floor. The other two retail suites are on the opposite side of the theater main entrance and range in size from 768 to 1,520 square feet. The smaller space is also vacant and in shell condition while the larger space is currently owner occupied as the box office. Each of these suites has an individual restroom.

DOWNTOWN ENTERTAINMENT ICON The Fox Theatre is literally at center stage of Downtown Redwood City s cultural and economic development activities. Facing the neo-classical Historic Courthouse dome (home to the San Mateo County History Museum), the Fox Theatre bookends Courthouse Square. This elegant public square is enclosed and shaped by two major landmarks: the Museum s finely detailed neo-classical portico to the north, and the Fox Theater s stunning Art Deco façade to the south; the civic space in between is considered Redwood City s living room. In combination with other complimentary entertainment venues, which include the 20-screen cinema complex, quality food-related establishments along Theatre Way, as well as the free entertainment and signature events on Courthouse Square (May through November), the downtown core holds its position as one of the premier entertainment destinations on the Peninsula. The City has committed over $50 million in funding to this specific area (referred to as the Downtown Core ). The expenditures included the construction of the 600 space public parking facility located under the cinema complex, the restoration of the historic Courthouse façade, the construction of Courthouse Square, and the construction of the streetscape improvements on Theatre Way as well as Broadway between Jefferson and Hamilton. The investment also included the innovative, form-based code planning and land use regulation document referred to as the Downtown Precise Plan, as well as the funding of the events on Courthouse Square beginning in the summer of 2007. The City s commitment to transforming Downtown into the entertainment destination of the Mid-Peninsula is especially exemplified in the funding of the Downtown WOW program on Courthouse Square. This program is moving into its fourth year of operation. It has included lunchtime musicians, Friday night concerts, Thursday night dance lessons with live music, and Wednesday night outdoor movies. In 2009, Jazz Monday on Main Street and Lindy on the Square on Sunday afternoons were included. Attendance grew from 29,000 and 45 events in 2007 to 106,000 and 83 events in 2009, an increase in attendance of 265% since inception in 2007! To look at the activity generation in another way, in 2007 the area averaged 644 people per event; in 2009 1,277 people per event. Surveys of attendees indicated 80% spent an average of $17 on food and/or beverage while attending an event. This equates to an economic impact of over $900,000 for downtown businesses in 2009. Not long ago, the Little Fox was one of the hottest venues on the Peninsula, with multiple weekly shows and events. The Little Fox featured some 175 shows a year while the Big Fox offered 40-50 shows per year. The Fox Theatre hosted big names to the delight of a long list of faithful patrons.

DOWNTOWN ENTERTAINMENT ICON Old Courthouse/museum Courthouse Square FOX Theatre

BUILDING INFORMATION Background The Fox Theatre complex was constructed in 1928 at the then phenomenal cost of $300,000. The building walls are poured in place reinforced concrete, something unimaginable today due to the high costs of labor and materials. The theatre opened its doors in January 1929 as the Sequoia Theatre and it was purchased that year by the Fox - West Coast chain of theaters. In 1950, due to vibrations from the nearby Southern Pacific rail line traffic, a rear portion of the ceiling collapsed. This incident coincided with a general remodeling effort by the Fox - West Coast chain. Throughout the nation and during that period, over 200 theaters owned by the Fox - West Coast chain were individually remodeled using a Baroque-type design reflecting a more contemporary style (no organ, new marquee and lobby/restroom alterations). The City contributed to the installation of fire sprinklers for the stage area in the 1990 s when the theater became a live performance center (Palo Alto Players). The Fox Theatre changed ownership in 1995. A smaller 240 plus seat live performance club called the Little Fox was created in one of the theater adjacent retail spaces and very quickly this venue became a popular musical hot spot on the Peninsula.

BUILDING INFORMATION Health and Safety Conditions Like many older structures which predate the modern building codes, it is advisable to consider a building evaluation and analysis in order to understand the specific construction details of historic buildings like the Fox Theatre. Fortunately, the Fox Theatre is not classified as an Unreinforced Masonry Building (URM). Other than its stage area, there are no fire sprinklers in the Fox Theatre building because the building s historic use as a movie/live performance theater is grandfathered in. In 2006, the property owner requested a Use Permit to allow alcoholic consumption in the Fox Theatre seating area in conjunction with related events (consumption of alcohol was already allowed in the bar/lobby area). This request prompted a two-year agreement with the City by which this use would be temporarily allowed, based on certain conditions and in anticipation of the installation of fire sprinklers by November 1, 2010. If an automatic fire sprinkler system has not been installed by this date, consumption of alcohol will not be allowed in the theater seating area. The owner did make significant safety modifications as part of the original agreement including a new smoke detection system, a fire alarm system coordinated with automatic release of the fire curtain, new side exit doors with level landings and ADA access. As a historic resource, the Fox Theatre is allowed to seek flexibility in standard building code regulations (Redwood City uses the International Building Code) through the use of the State Historic Building Code in order to preserve the historic integrity and the quality of the character-defining features of the resource, which includes the building s exterior and interior. An example would be the height of the stair railing at the entrance lobby which is lower than the current standards, but is allowed to remain with the building. An elevator currently services the two-story office portion of the building and it too is historic and allowed to remain as is. Because of the design flexibility it offers, the State Historic Building Code is a beneficial preservation tool for historic buildings when contemplating alterations, modifications to the use, or additions to a facility. Consultation with specialists who have experience with the Secretary of Interior s Standards; i.e., architects and structural engineers who are comfortable in their knowledge of historic buildings, along with fire safety experts, is highly recommended.

LAND USE INFORMATION The Fox Theatre is currently located in the CBR Central Business Retail Zoning District, which allows for the typical gamut of downtown urban uses designed to strengthen the retail vitality and economic base of the area. Ground floor retail uses are therefore permitted uses in the CBR Zone as well as second floor offices; entertainment venues like the Fox and Little Fox operate on Use Permits (see Attachment 3). The City has been preparing to adopt a bold new plan for Downtown Redwood City called the Downtown Precise Plan. Once in place, the Downtown Precise Plan (DPP) will supplant the CBR zone. The purpose of the DPP is to encourage the revitalization of the Downtown through improved development regulations which carefully orchestrate the strategic growth of the built environment as well as the expansion of compatible uses, while capitalizing on the value and unique qualities of its historic resources. For example, the Downtown Core Use Zone DC in the draft DPP clearly encourages entertainment venues, restaurants and night clubs. Naturally, the Fox Theatre facility is a major contributor to this district. Important planning and building issues As discussed elsewhere in this document, there are many interrelated components which come into play when considering the Fox Theatre. Because building uses and occupancy types vary greatly, use permits currently serve to define the operational envelope of this facility; these entitlements are typically tied to permits issued by the Building and Fire departments, as well as State regulated Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) Board permits which control the on-site consumption of alcohol. For example, the Little Fox was operating under a 21-year-old-and-over ABC permit (Type 48) for its bar and night club uses, while the Fox Theatre was open to all ages and could dispense alcoholic beverages from its bar/lobby area (Type 47). These ABC permits must be purchased by individual businesses. Since regulations change over time and use permits expire if they remain inactive for over one year, it is important to work with experienced professionals to establish the most appropriate use for each venue in the subject facility. Also, a wide range of related potential uses/use models should be considered when planning for the re-activation of the Fox Theatre, for example non-profit entertainment venues, live shows, screen performances; special events, etc. Parking Parking provisions in the downtown have been addressed through a state-of the-art parking metering system, the construction of new parking structures, improvement of on-grade parking lots as well as coordination of available stalls with select private and/or public entities. For additions and increases in parking demand, an in-lieu parking program provides a mechanism for the purchase of needed parking spaces.

HISTORIC CONSIDERATIONS The Fox Theatre is an extraordinary cultural and entertainment venue; for over 80 years this facility has served as a powerful magnet for people to come to our Downtown. Walking in through its doors and entering the lobby, one cannot help but feel the magic of the old movie palace/theater and the promise of a special show. The Fox Theater is a very significant historic landmark building designed by noted theater architects Reid and Reid in 1928 which opened in January 1929. This building is of National, State and Local historic significance. The exterior architectural style of the facility is Spanish Colonial with Gothic influences. The inside of the building was originally designed as an Atmospheric Movie Palace Style with a stage and loft for vaudeville and a pipe organ (for silent movies). We are fortunate to have this historic gem as one of our key Downtown destinations and as such it is very much in alignment with the vision and goals for Downtown Redwood City s vibrant future. As with all historic landmarks, special care must be taken not to compromise the building; thus there is a set process to preserve and enhance a sensitive resource such as the Fox and inversely, many ways to cause damage and devalue this property. Because of its historic status as a nationally recognized landmark, the Fox facility has special protection standards which must be respected when contemplating its maintenance, alteration and/or potential for expansion. As a Certified Local Government with the California State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), Redwood City is qualified to provide answers to historic preservation questions via direct consultation with OHP staff; the City s Historic Resources Advisory Committee has a 30 year history of working collaboratively with applicants for a win-win scenario. In addition, a list of specialized consultants which the City has worked with is available upon request, and staff will be delighted to work with interested parties on showcasing this most important asset. The following list provides some basic information about the essential tools of the field of historic preservation. Again, this information is not all-inclusive but is provided to enable good decision making and investment.

HISTORIC CONSIDERATIONS A) Department of Parks and Recreation Form (DPR 523) New Sequoia Theater building This survey document was completed in 1994 and is part of the current Redwood City Historic Inventory. At that time the Standard California and National Register criteria commonly used the 50-year-old standard to determine whether properties would be eligible for listing in historic (State and National) registers. Significant alterations were made in 1950 to the entrance lobby, the marquee and those modifications were, at that time six years short of the eligible age for listing. However, the DPR document confirms the listing of the main theater building on both the National Register and California Register (the wings are not mentioned) by assigning this property the National Register Status Code of 1S (listed on the National Register and California Register). Today, these 1950 elements are 60 years old which is well over the current 45-year old standard (amended from the 50-year old standard) to determine eligibility for listing on historic registers. An update of the current Department of Parks and Recreation form (DPR) which would evaluate the 1950 s alterations as well as the theater building wings facing Hamilton Street and Middlefield Road (now Theater Way) is needed to confirm eligibility of these features on the National and California Registers. B) National Register Nomination form, 1993 This building was designated as a Redwood City Historic landmark on July 27, 1987 by City Council Resolution No. 10565. This building was officially listed by the National Register Keeper on May 5, 1994 (See Attachment 4 for details). C) Secretary of Interior s Standards (SIS) These national standards are the primary design review tools (i.e. do s and don ts ) applicable for all designated historic resources. These are the key standards which must be used by qualified historians and architects when contemplating additions, alterations or modifications to historic resources such as the Fox Theater. These standards are also part of the Redwood City Historic Preservation Ordinance and staff is readily available to respond to inquiries on this matter. In the case of significant alterations to a designated resource such as the Fox Theater, it is highly recommended that a certified historian (sources available upon request) first review such proposals and confirm compliance to these standards (see enclosures for details). D) CEQA This building is subject to California Environmental Quality Act Regulations (CEQA). Changes determined to cause impacts to a historic resource require environmental review (Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declarations) prior to implementation of the change. E) State Historic Building Code (SHBC) This Code only applies to historic resources such as the Fox Theater, and is designed to allow for the flexible interpretation of the Uniform Building Code/International Building Code (UBC and IBC, respectively) for the purpose of insuring life and safety provisions while respecting the historic character defining features of the building (examples includes allowing railing heights to remain as non-conforming and flexible provisions for disabled access.

HISTORIC CONSIDERATIONS F) Mills Act Contracts Such agreements are considered to be effective historic preservation incentives in California and offer long term property tax relief to a property owner in exchange for the appropriate maintenance and applicable restoration of a historic resource, as determined by the Redwood City Historic Resources Advisory Committee, Planning Commission and City Council. Historic Preservation Agreements run for a minimum of ten years and are automatically renewed every year unless notice of cancellation is received. They are known as a Mills Act Contract and such a contract is available for this property. Twelve such contracts are currently in place in Redwood City since the program was established in Redwood City in 1992 (see enclosures for details). G) Investment Tax Credits for the rehabilitation of the Fox Theatre The Tax reform act of 1986 provides for a powerful financial incentive for private sector rehabilitation of qualified historic buildings such as the Fox Theater using a tax credit, which effectively lowers the amount of tax owed (income). Properties must be income producing and must follow the building preservation standards set forth by the Secretary of the Interior (see enclosures for details). H) Façade Easements: A preservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement that protects a significant historic resource like the Fox Theater. Under the terms of an easement, a property owner grants a portion of, or interests in, their property rights to an organization whose mission includes historic preservation. In certain cases, a property owner can receive a federal income tax deduction equal to the rights given away. Easements are tailor made contracts and typically run with the land (see enclosure for details).
