TITLE

Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Carmen Sandoval, property owner at 5744 East 2nd Street, for right-of-way widening purposes; and

 

Accept Categorical Exemption No. CE-16-251.  (District 3)

 

DISCUSSION

Carmen Sandoval, owner of the property at 5744 East 2nd Street, proposed construction of a new 1,122-square-foot, two story, commercial building. When a new development is proposed, the public rights-of-way adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. To accommodate vehicular traffic in the area, a 2.5-foot wide right-of-way dedication to provide sufficient alley width and conform to standards established in the City of Long Beach’s (City) General Plan is required along the east-west alley, east of 2nd, between Campo Walk and north Ravenna Drive (Attachment A). The Public Works Department is requesting the City Council to authorize acceptance of an easement deed to accomplish this purpose.

 

City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement to be dedicated.

 

In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Categorical Exemption No. CE-16-251 was issued for this development on October 13, 2017 (Attachment B). The Public Works Department is also requesting City Council to accept Categorical Exemption CE-16-251.

 

This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Vanessa S. Ibarra on August 29, 2023 and by Budget Management Officer Nader Kaamoush on August 31, 2023.

 

TIMING CONSIDERATIONS

City Council action on this matter is not time critical.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

A dedication processing fee in the amount of $3,195 was deposited in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities.  There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.

 

SUGGESTED ACTION

Approve recommendation.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

ERIC LOPEZ
