TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed for relocated sewer facilities; execute a quitclaim deed for the existing sewer easement; accept a dedication of right-of-way for sidewalk-widening purposes; accept an easement deed for fire services from Pacific Baptist Church, located at 3300 Magnolia Avenue; and
Accept Negative Declaration No. ND 08-08. (District 7)
DISCUSSION
When a significant new development is proposed, the public rights-of-way and public utilities adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. For the development at 3300 Magnolia Avenue, relocation of an existing sewer line outside the proposed building footprint is required, along with sidewalk widening adjacent to the development to provide an adequate sidewalk path, and the installation of facilities for fire services. The utility easement requirements and dedication of additional sidewalk width are recommended, as follows:
• A utility easement should be provided for the newly located sewer line (Exhibit A).
• A quitclaim should be processed for the relocated sewer line (Exhibit B).
• Along the property line at Magnolia Avenue and 33rd Street, a 10-foot by 10-foot corner cut-off should be provided (Exhibit C). This action will provide a clear path adequate for sidewalk accessibility and ADA compliance.
• A utility easement should be provided for the newly installed facilities for fire services (Exhibit D).
Pacific Baptist Church, a non-profit California corporation, owner of the development at 3300 Magnolia Avenue, agreed to the above described development conditions.
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed dedicated or quitclaimed easements, nor to the proposed dedication of right-of-way. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Negative Declaration No. ND 08-08 was issued for this project on September 22, 2008 (Exhibit E).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on April 16, 2018 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on April 20, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
An easement processing fee of $7,453 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
