TITLE
Recommendation to approve an amendment to the Revised Long Range Property Management Plan to change the permissible use of the parking lot at 5400-5412 Long Beach Boulevard, and the parking lot at 5722 and 5730 Linden Avenue and 510 East South Street from Sale Property to Government Use. (Districts 8,9)

On May 5,2015, the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Long Beach (Successor Agency) approved an Amendment to the Long Range Property Management Plan that designated the permissible use of the parking lot at the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Market Street and the parking lot at the corner of South Street and Linden Avenue as "Sale Property." The Amendment also provided that if legislation passed allowing certain parking facilities to qualify as "Government Use," the Successor Agency would request to change the permissible use of the parking lots.

During Fiscal Year 2014-15 (FY 15), the Successor Agency paid approximately $1,300 to maintain both lots.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Richard Anthony on March 30, 2016 and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on April 1,2016.
