TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Bayside Asset Management, LP, a California limited partnership, the owner of the property located at
2340 West 17th Street, for sidewalk-widening purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption No. CE-15-020. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
The owner of the property at 2340 West 17th Street is constructing a diesel truck yard in the existing industrial property. To accommodate the new development, it is necessary that a dedication be granted to the City so the existing sidewalk along the north side of the property can be widened by 4 feet, beginning at the northwest corner of the property and continuing approximately 100 feet easterly along the property line. The remaining portion of the north side should be widened by one foot along the property line. The existing sidewalk along the east and south side of the property should also be widened by one foot. These dedications will widen the existing sidewalk and provide a minimum four-foot wide clearance along the property street frontages (Exhibit A).
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed dedication. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption No. CE-15-020 was issued on April 16, 2015, for this project (Exhibit B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on June 7, 2017 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on June 12, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A dedication processing fee in the amount of $1,232 was paid by the developer and deposited into 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
