TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Amcal Las Ventanas Fund, LP, a California limited partnership, the owner of the property at 1795 Long Beach Boulevard, for street and alley widening purposes; and
Accept State Clearinghouse Number 2015031034. (District 6)
DISCUSSION
Amcal Las Ventanas Fund, LP, a California limited partnership, owner of the property at 1795 Long Beach Boulevard, is constructing a new five-story 14,478-square-foot, mixed-use building consisting of 3,938 square feet of commercial space and 102 residential units (101 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 anticipated pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area, it is necessary that a two-foot wide dedication of additional right-of-way for alley widening purposes, and an additional seven-foot wide dedication for street widening purposes, be recorded (Attachment A).
City staff conducted a review of the 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 December 30, 2019, and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on February 12, 2020.
