TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Jack in the Box, Inc., owner of the property at 2101 East Anaheim Street, for alley and sidewalk widening purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-17-354. (District 4)
DISCUSSION
Jack in the Box, Inc., owner of the property at 2101 East Anaheim Street, has made interior and exterior renovations to the restaurant. When significant 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 pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area, it is necessary that a 2.5-foot wide dedication be done for sidewalk and alley widening (Attachment A).
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, Categorical Exemption CE-17-354 was issued January 8, 2018 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on August 15, 2018 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on August 17, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A grant of easement processing fee in the amount of $1,285 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.

CRAIG A. BECK,
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
