TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to accept an easement deed from LB South Street, LLC, a California limited liability company, the owner of the property located at 3605 South Street, for the installation of public utilities; and
Accept Categorical Exemption No. CE-15-161. (District 9)
DISCUSSION
The owner of the property at 3605 South Street is constructing a new AutoZone retail store. 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 (Exhibit A). This new line will provide backflow prevention to protect water supplies from contamination. The renovation construction plans consist of the construction of a 6,500 square-foot structure.
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 No. CE 15-161, was issued on June 17, 2016, for this easement (Exhibit B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on February 8, 2017 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa Jose-Murray on February 13, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
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.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK,
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
