TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed for alley widening at 2101 Long Beach Boulevard. (District 6)
DISCUSSION
It is the goal of the Department of Public Works to widen alleys to the standards established in the City's General Plan. 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 construction of a new 4,876 square foot urgent care facility and pharmacy at 2101 Long Beach Boulevard, the dedication of additional alley width is recommended. In particular, the existing 10-foot wide paved alley should be widened on the east side by 5.0 feet, to a total width of 15 feet, as indicated on the attached sketch. The standard alley width of 20 feet will be achieved when property on the west side of the alley is improved and an additional dedication of 5.0 feet is recorded.
The developer of the subject property agreed to development conditions that include the above-described dedications. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption No. CEP 08-086 was issued for this project.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Amy Burton on September 22, 2010 and Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on September 21, 2010.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A document-processing fee of $1,089.00 was paid by the developer and deposited in the General Fund (GP 100) in the Department of Public Works (PW). Approval of this matter may have a positive impact on jobs.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
MICHAEL P. CONWAY
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
