By approving the attached Resolution, the City would declare the parcels as “surplus land,” under the Surplus Land Act and Government Code section 54221, and that the parcels are no longer necessary for the City’s use.
In order for the City to dispose of the parcels, the City must first go through a public/stakeholder engagement process in accordance with state law and the Surplus Land Act. This process requires the City to transmit (mainly by email) a Notice of Availability - “NOA” (a form of which is attached to the Resolution) to designated entities under state law and allow for a 60-day period during which these entities, including potential affordable housing developers and public entities with jurisdiction over the parcels, may express their interest in negotiating on any of those parcels.
The Surplus Land Act requires this right of first refusal in an effort to mitigate the state’s housing supply crisis. The City is also required to engage in “good-faith” property negotiations for at least 90-days on price and terms with any qualifying party that submits a qualified notice of interest. The City also has reporting and compliance obligations to the Department of Housing and Community Development, who can impose penalties based on the ultimate sales price of the parcel, if the Surplus Land Act is not followed prior to disposition.
This action and resolution begin the surplus land disposition process and allows staff to adequately vet any interest by the public, affordable housing developers, and/or other entities designated under the Surplus Land Act.
Upon conclusion of the public engagement process, the City may market the property to the general public.
Approval of the attached resolution will allow the City to commence the Surplus Land Act process, by issuing the NOA to those entities statutorily entitled to receive it. The disposition of these properties will contribute to the City’s goals to encourage new development as part of the Downtown Revitalization Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
