WHEREAS, in furtherance of the intent of the SLA, on an annual basis, the City is required to report an inventory of its surplus property to the California Department of Housing and Community Development; and
WHEREAS, the City may satisfy the SLA by declaring multiple parcels as “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” on an annual basis ; however, such a declaration does not obligate the City to subsequently dispose of these properties or require the City to move forward with disposition of any property; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to AB 1486, properties identified either for sale or for future listed on the City’s Long Range Property Management Plan resulting from the dissolution of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency are considered to be surplus unless a property was contractually obligated prior to December 31, 2020, and the disposition completed by December 31, 2022; and WHEREAS, City staff ha s identified 4 properties that total approximately 5.25 acres, which are not needed for the City’s operations (“Surplus Properties”) as set forth in Exhibit A to this Resolution, which is incorporated herein by this reference; and WHEREAS, this declaration of Surplus Properties does not obligate the City to subsequently dispose of the land and the City may in the future determine that these properties are necessary for municipal use and not move forward with any disposition of any specific property.
