TITLE
Recommendation authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from MNG Long Beach, LLC, the owner of the property at 3290 Atlantic Avenue, for street widening purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-14-031. (District 7)
DISCUSSION
MNG Long Beach, LLC, owner of the property at 3290 Atlantic Avenue, and Chick-Fil-A, Inc., lessee of said property, proposed to construct a new one-story fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru lane. When a 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 pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area, it is necessary that a 2.5-foot wide dedication of additional right-of-way be recorded for street widening purposes (Attachment A).
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement to be dedicated. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption CE-14-031 was issued on June 6, 2014 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Richard F. Anthony on August 7, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on September 17, 2019.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A dedication processing fee in the amount of $3,195 was deposited in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK
