TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed for pedestrian access along the development property at Seaside Way Bridge elevation, from 207 Seaside Way Partners, LLC, owner of the property at 207 Seaside Way Street; and
Accept Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration No. MND 02-15.
(District 2)
DISCUSSION
When significant new development is proposed, the public rights-of-way adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. For the development at 207 Seaside Way, a dedication for public access easement is required along the private property frontage at the Seaside Way Pedestrian Rainbow Bridge (Bridge) elevation, to create a 15-foot wide public path along the Bridge (Attachment A). The Department of Public Works is requesting City Council authorization to accept of an easement deed to accomplish this purpose.
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, certified Mitigated Negative Declaration No. MND 02-15 and a Local Costal Development Permit were approved for this project on May 21, 2015 (Attachment B). The Department of Public Works is asking City Council authorization to accept this document.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on December 17, 2020 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on December 20, 2020.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
An easement processing fee in the amount of $2,108 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.
