TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a quitclaim deed to 207 Seaside Partners, LLC, to convey the City’s interest in current utility line easements on Seaside Way and Marine Way between Locust Avenue and Collins Way; and
Accept Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration No. MND 02-15. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
207 Seaside Partners, LLC, is constructing a 113-unit, multi-family apartment complex, consisting of three levels of parking on the bottom floors. The eight-level (one subterranean and seven above ground) structure is being built on the former site of a parking lot. When portions of the rights-of-way were vacated in 1981, easements were reserved. Since that time, the utilities were abandoned in place and the easements are no longer needed. As a result, the easements to be quitclaimed on Seaside Way and Marine Way between Locust Avenue and Collins Way are required as part of construction, as shown on Exhibit A.
The customary investigation was conducted involving public utilities and interested City departments, and there were no objections to the proposed easements to be quitclaimed.
In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, a certified Mitigated Negative Declaration, MND 02-15, and a Local Coastal Development Permit were approved for this project on May 2015, shown on Exhibit B.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on January 27, 2017 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa Jose-Murray on January 25, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A quitclaim processing fee of $2,787 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
APPROVED:
PATRICK H. WEST
