TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to grant an easement deed to Los Angeles County Flood Control District at 4951 Oregon Avenue, to provide continued access to the adjacent flood control channel and wetlands; and
Accept Environmental Impact Report 01-15. (District 8)
DISCUSSION
Integral Communities, the developer of a new residential community of 131 detached single-family dwellings on the site of the former Will J. Reid Boy Scout Camp, is required to develop nearby Molina Park located at 4951 Oregon Avenue as a condition of approval. To accommodate the new use, it is necessary that an easement be granted to Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) to provide continued access to the adjacent flood control channel and wetlands (Attachment A).
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Environmental Impact Report 01-15 was accepted by the City Council on November 10, 2015, for the project.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on June 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 grant of easement processing fee in the amount of $3,195 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). Approval of this recommendation will provide continued support to the local economy. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK,
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
APPROVED:
PATRICK H. WEST
CITY MANAGER
