TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Vistas Del Puerto, L.P., a California limited partnership, the owner of the properties at 1836-1852 Locust Avenue, for alley widening purposes; and
Accept State Clearinghouse Number 2015031034 for the project.
(District 6)
DISCUSSION
Vistas Del Puerto, L.P., a California limited partnership, owner of the properties at 1836-1952 Locust Avenue, is constructing a new five-story, 65,866-square-foot building with 48 affordable residential units. 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 2.0-foot wide dedication of additional right-of-way be recorded for alley 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, State Clearinghouse Number 2015031034 was issued on January 12, 2018 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on November 25, 2019 and by Revenue Management Officer Geraldine Alejo on December 26, 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
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
