Dear David Conrad:
RE: HCD’s Review of the City of Burbank’s Resolution No. 23-29,439 Declaring APN 2463-015-902 as “Exempt Surplus Land”
Thank you for notifying the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of the City of Burbank’s determination of APN 2463-015-902, as “exempt surplus land.”
HCD reviewed resolution No. 23-29,439 (Resolution) and supporting documentation pursuant to Section 400 of the Surplus Land Act Guidelines. As explained below, HCD finds that the Property qualifies as “exempt surplus land” under Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B).
Analysis
According to the Resolution and staff report, the Property is a small, triangular-shaped remnant parcel of land that totals 0.0375 acres (approximately 1,633.5 square feet) and is not needed for use by the City. The Resolution further provides that the City intends to transfer the Property to the adjacent property owner of 200 Vanowen Street.
Conclusion
Based on the documentation provided, HCD finds that the Property qualifies as “exempt surplus land” under Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B). The City is permitted to proceed with the sale of the Property to the adjacent property owner as described in the Resolution.
