TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept new easements from the California State University, Long Beach, for the construction of the Technology Park Phase III warehouse and office building being constructed at 1901 West Pacific Coast Highway; execute quitclaim deeds to California State University, Long Beach Research Foundation, a California nonprofit corporation, to convey the City’s interest in current sewer, water, storm drain, ingress and egress, and public utility easements; and

Prologis, Inc., the developer of the property at 1901 West Pacific Coast Highway, has demolished the old Naval housing buildings and is constructing a new warehouse with office space. To accommodate the new use, it is necessary that easements be granted and quitclaimed to allow for the construction of a 205,060 square-foot structure. California State University, Long Beach Research Foundation, is requesting that new easements be dedicated to the City to reflect new locations of utility lines (Attachment A) and the quitclaiming of former locations of utility lines to them (Attachment B). The relocations will be completed with the oversight and approval of the Long Beach Water Department.
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easements or quitclaims. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Project No. CLB1704, was prepared for this project in September 2017 (Attachment C).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on January 28, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on February 24, 2019.
