RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-097, declaring the Subject Property as public right of way, and pursuant to Section 1806 of the Streets and Highways Code, to be accepted by the City of Fontana into the City Street system
End
COUNCIL GOALS:
• To invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
• To invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by focusing on relief of traffic congestion.
• To invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by creating and promoting community through people, parks, and programs.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana’s approved Capital Improvement Program Budget includes the Downtown Parking Structure Project (“Project”). The Project is to construct a 4-tier parking structure within the existing parking lot of the City’s Human Resources Department Building located at 8491 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA 92335. An existing Southern California Gas main line located within the proposed footprint is in direct conflict with the new structure as shown in Figure 1. The proposed location of a replacement gas main, Library Drive (also known as Wheeler Ave), is currently City property but not public right of way. By declaring the property as public right of way, public utilities may access the property.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Library Drive is currently maintained as a City street. Declaring it public right of way will have no fiscal impact as it would continue to be maintained by the City.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
