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 also owns certain vacant, undeveloped real property generally located south of Green River Road and west of Dominguez Ranch Road consisting of excess street right-of-way and a portion of APN 101-190-034 that is part of LMD 84-2 Zone 10, which comprises approximately 1.94 acres of land (“Excess ROW”); and WHEREAS, the Excess ROW, which is identified as Parcel 1 on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and the LMD Property, which is identified as Parcel 2 on Exhibit A may be collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Property”; and WHEREAS, the zoning designation of the portion of the Excess ROW that is part of LMD 84-2 Zone 10 is Mixed Use under the Green River Ranch Specific Plan and its General Plan Land Use Designation is Mixed Use, and the portion of the Excess ROW that constitutes excess street right-of-way on Green River Road has no zoning or General Plan designation; and

WHEREAS, the City has determined that the Subject Property is no longer needed for the City’s use and desires to declare that the Subject Property is surplus land; and 2 WHEREAS, the Subject Property is no longer needed for the City’s use because Green River Road has been developed to its ultimate right-of-way width and the unimproved, LMD Property serves no purpose for the City’s operations; and WHEREAS, the Subject Property meets the definition of “surplus land,” is no longer necessary for the City’s use, and does not meet any of the applicable exemptions from the Surplus Land Act.
