TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from 100 LBB Real Estate, LLC, a California limited liability company, the owner of the property at 100 Long Beach Boulevard, for the installation of public utilities; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-13-027. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
100 LBB Real Estate, LLC, a California limited liability company, owner of the property at 100 Long Beach Boulevard, has renovated the site. Commercial office space has been converted into residential units. To accommodate the new use, it is necessary that an easement be granted to the City to allow the installation of a double-check detector valve (Attachment A). This new line will provide backflow prevention to protect water supplies from contamination. Renovation plans for the site include installation of water lines.
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption CE-13-027, was issued for this project (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on December 5, 2018 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa Jose-Murray on December 10, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A grant of easement processing fee in the amount of $2,066 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
