TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from MPVCA Long Beach, LLC, a limited liability company, the owner of the property located at 1090 Atlantic Avenue, for the installation of public utilities; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-17-176. (District 6)
DISCUSSION
MPVCA Long Beach LLC, a limited liability company, owner of the property at 1090 Atlantic Avenue, is remodeling the medical office building on the property. Construction plans consist of partial demolition of the original building and the addition of 4,920 square feet of new construction, totaling 9,200 square feet in size. To accommodate the new use, it is necessary that an easement be granted to the City to allow for the installation of a double-check detector valve (Attachment A). This new line will provide backflow prevention to protect water supplies from contamination.
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-17-176, was issued for this project on September 11, 2017 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on January 10, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on February 15, 2019.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
An easement 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.
