Home My WebLink About2023-065 - Declaring Various Properties as Surplus Land & Exempt Surplus LandRESOLUTION NO.2023-065 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DECLARING VARIOUS PROPERTIES AS SURPLUS LAND AND EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THE SURPLUS LAND ACT, CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54220, ET SEQ., AS AMENDED, FOR THEIR DISPOSITION BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The City of Santa Ana (the "City") is the owner of substantial real property assets that have been acquired for various roadway improvement projects now completed, as described on Exhibit A (collectively referred to as the "Properties"). B. The Properties are leftover parcels from full parcel acquisitions that were made following the City's environmental analysis that the project impacts could not be adequately mitigated if only partial acquisitions were made. C. The Properties remain vacant. D. The City's Public Works Agency has ongoing fencing and cleanup costs associated with maintenance and security of the Properties. E. There are frequent calls from the public inquiring about site maintenance, clean-up, vacant status, and/or expressing support for development of the Properties. F. Proceeds from the sale of the Properties will benefit the Bristol Corridor or other Right -of -Way projects, and the property tax generated may provide funding to enhance City services. Future development of the Properties would also eliminate blight and promote neighborhood liability and sustainability. G. The Properties have become surplus within the meaning of the California Surplus Land Act ("SLA"), Government Code section 54220 et seq., as amended, and are not necessary for the City's use. Resolution No. 2023-065 Page 1 of 4 H. A portion of the Properties are "exempt" under the SLA, as further identified in Exhibit A. Exempt Properties may be declared "exempt surplus land" and must be supported by written findings before a local agency may take any action to dispose of the Properties consistent with statutory requirements, SLA guidelines, and/or a local agency's policies or procedures. The exempt Properties, as identified in Exhibit A, qualify under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B). Specifically, the exempt Properties are less than 5,000 square feet and are not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is being used for open -space or low -and moderate -income housing purposes. J. The exempt Properties shall be sold to a contiguous land owner of each of the respective Properties, otherwise the Property shall not be considered "exempt" and it will be subject to all requirements under the SLA. K. The City is determining that those Properties identified in Exhibit A as "Exempt Surplus Land" are, in fact, exempt under the SLA and City will notify the Department of Housing and Community Development no less than thirty (30) days prior to the disposing of any exempt surplus land. Section 2. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the Properties are no longer necessary for the City's use and are therefore surplus land and/or exempt surplus land, as the terms are defined in California Government Code section 54221, et seq., as amended, based on the true and correct written findings found in Section 1, incorporated herein by this reference. Section 3. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to send written notices of availability of the Properties as described in California Government Code section 54222, to negotiate the terms of any proposed sale of the Properties with an interested public entity or, if none, another interested party, and to otherwise follow the procedures of the Surplus Land Act, California Government Code section 54220, et seq., as amended, with respect to the disposition of the Properties. Section 4. Any proposed agreements for the sale of the Properties shall be subject to the approval of the City Council. Section 5. Sales of the Properties as surplus are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15312 (Surplus Government Property Sales). However, if development was proposed on the Properties by a subsequent buyer, then that development would be reviewed under CEQA. Resolution No. 2023-065 Page 2 of 4 Section 6.
