The Angels could propose a plan to develop the Angel Stadium parking lot in two to four months, Anaheim city manager Chris Zapata said Tuesday.
The Angels have retained Brooks Street, a development company based in Newport Beach, as a consultant on a potential Anaheim project. The city hopes the Angels might agree to build restaurants, shops, offices and/or homes in the stadium parking lot, with the team using development profits to pay for a new or renovated stadium.
Zapata said he believed negotiations with the team were in “the bottom of the first [inning].” He said he and Mayor Harry Sidhu had met Monday with John Carpino, the Angels’ president, and a Brooks Street executive.
