TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from the owner of the property at 442 Crystal Court, for alley widening purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-18-249. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
The owner of the property at 442 Crystal Court is building a new, two-story, single-family, detached home. When significant new development is proposed, public rights-of-way adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new use. To conform with the City’s general plan to widen alleys to a width of 20 feet, a 2.5-foot wide dedication is necessary (Attachment A).
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed dedication. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption CE-18-249 was issued November 5, 2018 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on January 2, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on January 31, 2019.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A dedication processing fee in the amount of $3,195 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.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK,
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
