DISCUSSION
For the City Place Parking Structure C Project (Project) at 51 East 3rd Street, enhancing pedestrian and vehicular access is required. The Project consists primarily of enhancing pedestrian access, improving Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access, screening select stair areas, providing additional vehicular egress lane at the existing 4th Street entrance, improving access to Pine Avenue and Harvey Milk Park, and adding new striping and painting. To accommodate these right-of-way improvements, an easement and dedication needs to be accepted.
Long Beach Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, owner of the parcels adjacent to the development at 51 East 3rd Street, have agreed to the above described improvements and acceptance of easement (Attachment A) and dedication (Attachment B).
In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption No. CE-19-271 was issued for this project on December 19, 2019 (Attachment C).
This matter was reviewed by City Attorney Charles Parkin on January 17, 2020 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on January 16, 2020.
