TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from JPMorgan Chase Bank National Association, owner of the property located at 4501 East Pacific Coast Highway, for sidewalk widening purposes; and
Accept the Environmental Site Assessment Report. (District 4)
DISCUSSION
JPMorgan Chase Bank National Association, owner of the property at 4501 East Pacific Coast Highway, has renovated the site and built a new 3,985 square-foot bank branch building at the location. When a significant new development is proposed, the public rights-of-way adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. To accommodate the anticipated increase in pedestrian foot traffic in the area, it is necessary that a two-foot wide dedication be done for sidewalk widening (Attachment A).
City staff conducted a review of public utilities and affected agencies, and there were no objections to the proposed easement. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the Environmental Site Assessment Report was issued January 6, 2016.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on July 24, 2018 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on July 25, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A dedication processing fee of $1,258 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
