RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA DECLARING PROPERTY ON THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF CIVIC CENTER DRIVE AND
SYCAMORE STREET AS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND AND
FINDING THAT THE FOREGOING ACTION IS NOT A
PROJECT SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
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 in fee simple of real property,
approximately 3,784 square feet, which was formerly excess portions of street
right of way near the northwest corner of Civic Center Drive and Sycamore
Street, as described on Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B (referred to as
the "Property").
B. The Property is a remnant parcel resulting from the creation of Civic Center
Drive in 1974.
C. The Property lies outside of the limits of improvements for Civic Center Drive
and Sycamore Street.
D. The City now desires to declare the Property exempt surplus land within the
meaning of the California Surplus Land Act ("SLA"), Government Code section
54220 et seq., as amended, as it is not necessary for the City's use and
qualifies as exempt surplus land under Government Code sections
54221(f)(1)(B) and (E).
E. 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 Property consistent with statutory requirements, SLA guidelines,
and/or a local agency's policies or procedures.
F. The Property qualifies under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B).
Specifically, the exempt Property is less than one-half acre (approximately
3,784 square feet) in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or
local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing
purposes.
G. The Property qualifies under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(E).
Specifically, the exempt Property is Surplus land that is a former street, right of
way, or easement, and will be conveyed to an owner of an adjacent property.
H. It is the intent of City Council to sell the Property to a contiguous land owner of
the Property, otherwise the Property shall not be considered "exempt" under
54221(f)(1)(E).
I. Notice is not required per Government Code section 54221(f)(2) because the
Property is (i) not within a Coastal Zone, (ii) not adjacent to a historical unit of
the State Parks System, (iii) not listed on, or determined by the State Office of
Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places,
and (iv) not within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Government Code
section 66905.5.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the Property is no
longer necessary for the City's use and is therefore exempt surplus land, pursuant to
Government Code sections 54221(f)(1)(B) and 54221(f)(1)(E) 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 execute any
and all documents necessary to dispose of the Property in accordance with this
Resolution, if it is determined to be in the best interests of the City.
Section 4. The 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 5. This resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of
the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§21000 et seq.; 14
CCR §§ 15000 et seq.) ("CEQA"). City staff has determined that the designation of the
Property as exempt surplus land does not qualify as a "project" as defined by the CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378. First, Section 15378 defines a project as an activity that "has
a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment." (State
CEQA Guidelines, §15378(a).) Here, the action is to declare the Property as exempt
surplus land, which will not result in either a direct physical change in the environment or
a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. Accordingly, the
action is not a "project" subject to CEQA. (State CEQA Guidelines, §15060(c).) Second,
Section 15378 explicitly excludes from its definition of "project" the following:
"organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or
indirect physical changes in the environment." (State CEQA Guidelines, §15378(b)(5).)
The action to designate the Property as exempt surplus land constitutes an organizational
or administrative activity that will not result in a physical change in the environment, and
is therefore is not subject to CEQA. This action does not constitute a binding commitment
to any particular use of the Property, nor is any development associated with this action.
If and when the Property is sold to a purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for the
Resolution No. 2025-XXX
Page 2 of 4
Property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use of the
Property will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
Section 6. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the City Clerk shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this
Resolution.
