TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from LINC-Spark APTS, LP, a California limited partnership, the owner of the property at 1900-1940 Long Beach Boulevard, for the installation of public utilities; and
Accept State Clearinghouse No. 2015031034. (District 6)
DISCUSSION
LINC-Spark APTS, LP (LINC-Spark), the property owner at 1900-1940 Long Beach Boulevard, is constructing a new 95-unit, 121,947-square-foot mixed use building (The Spark at Midtown Project). To accommodate the development, it is necessary that an easement be granted to the City of Long Beach (City) to allow for the installation of a double-check detector valve (Attachment A). These devices provide backflow prevention to protect water supplies from contamination.
City staff conducted a review of the affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement. This development project was certified and adopted by the City Council on May 24, 2016, and reviewed in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In conformance with the CEQA, State Clearinghouse No. 2015031034 was issued for this development (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on September 8, 2021 and by Budget Operations and Development Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on September 13, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on November 16, 2021, to accept the easement deed from LINC-Spark.
FISCAL IMPACT

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.
