RESOLUTION NO. 2026-029
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORONA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING THAT CERTAIN
PARCEL OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 416 E.
GRAND BOULEVARD AND IDENTIFIED AS ASSESSOR’S
PARCEL NUMBERS 117-163-009 IS NO LONGER
NECESSARY FOR THE CITY’S USE AND ARE 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 owns a parcel of real property located at 416 Grand Avenue and identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 117-163-009 (“Subject Property”); and WHEREAS, the Subject Property, which consists of a 6,534 square foot vacant parcel that is zoned for residential use, is intended for sale to be developed for housing, and is no longer needed for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 54222.3, the disposal of the 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)(B), the Subject Property meets the definition of “exempt surplus land,” because it is less than one-half acre in size and the Subject Property is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes.
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. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the Subject Property is no longer necessary for the City’s use and is exempt surplus land, as defined in the Surplus Land Act, based on the evidence in the record and the true and correct written findings found in this Resolution and incorporated herein by reference. The City Council further finds that the Subject Property: (a) is not located within a coastal zone; (b) is not adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System; (c) is not listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register JAMIER\01000.22004\10322874.1
of Historic Places; and (d) is not located within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Government Code Section 66905.5.
SECTION 3. CEQA. The declaration of the Subject Property as exempt surplus land is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
This resolution simply declares that the Subject Property is exempt surplus land and there is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the Clerk of the City shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 6th day of May 2026.
