RESOLUTION NO. 2023-003
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORONA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING THAT THE 0.24
ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF SOUTH
MAIN STREET, ADJACENT TO 351 SOUTH MAIN STREET
IS NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR THE CITY’S USE AND
IS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND UNDER THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1486 went into effect on January 1, 2020 and expanded the Surplus Land Act (Government Code section 54220 et seq.) requirements for local agencies prior to the disposition and disposal of any surplus land (collectively, the “Surplus Land Act”); and
WHEREAS, the City is the owner in fee of certain real property consisting of approximately 10,314 square feet and designated as Assessor Parcel Number(s) 117-114-013, which is located west of South Main Street and immediately adjacent to certain real property identified as 325 South Main Street, Corona, in Riverside County, California, as described and depicted in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Subject Property”); and
WHEREAS, prior to 1970, the Subject Property was part of the right-of-way of South Main Street, which consisted of a straight roadway running in a north to south direction; and
WHEREAS, in 1970, a portion of South Main Street around the Subject Property was realigned to create a curvature in the roadway, which resulted in the Subject Property no longer being used for street purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City subsequently constructed a parking lot on the Subject Property and for use by adjacent commercial businesses; and WHEREAS, since 1970, the Subject Property has been considered excess rightof-way upon; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that the Subject Property is no longer needed for the City’s use and is considered excess right-of-way because South Main Street, in its current alignment, is developed to its full width configuration and enables adequate traffic circulation such that road widening improvements are not needed on the Subject Property; and WHEREAS, Kenneth James Tressen and Sharon Ann Tressen Living Trust, owners of certain real property identified as 325 South Main Street and designated as Assessor Parcel Number 117-114-004, which is immediately contiguous to the Subject Property, desire to acquire the Subject Property from the City; and
CA\JR\01000.22002\10274154.1
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 54222.3, the disposal of exempt surplus land is not subject to the requirements or procedures of the Surplus Land Act; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(E), the Subject Property meets the definition of “exempt surplus land,” because it is former right-of-way and will be sold to the owner of contiguous land.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF CORONA, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the above stated recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Exempt Surplus Property Declaration.
