A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS FOR
THE SALE OF CITY -OWNED REAL PROPERTY AT 2129
NORTH MAIN STREET
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. In September 2015, the City of Santa Ana ( "City ") was approached by Net
Development Co. ( "Developer ") to construct a new hotel at 2129 North
Main Street ( "Property ").
B. The Property is an underutilized parcel owned by the City that is currently
being used as a parking lot. However, the Property is not necessary for
the City's use.
C. The City finds that the development of a hotel on the Property will add a
public benefit through the increase of Hotel Visitor Taxes (HVT). This
increase will help fund local services such as infrastructure improvements,
new public parks, environmental preservation, and increases in public
safety for residents of the City.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code section 2 -706 establishes the procedures for
the sale of City -owned real property. Under these procedures, following
council authorization for sale, City -owned real property shall be sold by
competitive bidding to the highest bidder subject to final authorization of
the City Council.
E. As permitted by Santa Ana Municipal Code section 2 -709, the sale of City -
owned real property may be exempted from this manner of sale upon 2/3
vote of the City Council after a duly noticed public hearing, whereby the
sale may instead be made upon a basis of direct negotiations without the
necessity for public auction or competitive bidding, when the authority to
so negotiate has been granted by the City Council.
