Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and can confirm the content is safe. Dear Ms. Serafin- We recently found signage for a Public Hearing and/or Environmental Notice posted in front of our business, Ironwood Packaging, LLC. We are leasing two buildings for our manufacturing facility, 8975 Cottage Avenue and 9811 8th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA. 91730. We have been tenants of these two properties since 2001, 23 years using both buildings. The prior tenants, Mission Plastics, also used both buildings for their 15+ year stay. The buildings were built in 1986, which appears that these properties had only two tenants, both using the combination of both buildings. The buildings logistically work together, with shared parking and the loading dock for 9811 directly in front of the main entrance to 8975. The single dock provided for 8975 is small and challenging for 53’ trailers, which we routinely have. This 5.85 property as listed on the notice was recently purchased by G & G Properties. It is our understanding that the intent is to make some improvements, parcel into (4) four separate properties and then resell individually. When Mandeville Family Investment Partnerships LLC, the previous owners and builders of the property, informed us that they were going to sell, we asked if the buildings could be sold off separately, as we were interested in purchasing the buildings that we occupied. They said they would have preferred to separate the properties, but they were told by the city, due to the property layout and the shared parking, entrances and exits and common driveways, it was not possible to separate and meet city regulations and fire codes. Now however, it looks like that is exactly what is going to happen. As long as Ironwood Packaging is a tenant, both buildings are needed to conduct our operations. It would likely become impossible to continue to lease the buildings with 2 separate ownerships, thus seriously impede our ability to continue operations at this location and probably force us to leave the City of Rancho Cucamonga. We are not aware of the new selling price, but with the property flip in progress, it is likely beyond our budget. Our primary request is that 9811 8th Street and 8975 Cottage Avenue are retained as one property. We hope you understand our position and consider our request. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Lisa Platz lplatz@ironwoodpackaging.com You don't often get email from lplatz@ironwoodpackaging.com.
