TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Sacre Blu, LLC, the owner of the property at 4231-4241 and 4251 Long Beach Boulevard, for sidewalk widening purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption No. CE-21-116. (District 8)
DISCUSSION
Sacre Blu, LLC, owner of the property located at 4231-4241 and 4251 Long Beach Boulevard, proposed construction of a new one-story commercial building. When a new development is proposed, the public right-of-way adjacent to the site is reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. To provide for compliant sidewalks, with the City of Long Beach (City) Mobility Element of the General Plan, it is necessary that a three-foot-wide dedication for additional sidewalk widening is processed (Attachment A).
City staff conducted a review of the affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption No. CE-21-116 was issued on September 23, 2021 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on October 27, 2021 and by Budget Operations and Development Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on October 25, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on November 16, 2021, to accept the easement deed from Sacre Blu, LLC.
FISCAL IMPACT
A dedication processing fee in the amount of $3,313 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.
