WHEREAS, the City of Fresno (City) owns a 0.60-acre property located at 815 Fulton Street, Fresno, California, (APN 468- 282-23T) (Property), as more particularly described in Exhibit A and depicted in Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act (California Government Code sections 54220 through 54236) is generally intended to make a local agency's surplus land (i.e., land not needed for the agency's use) available for potential acquisition by affordable housing sponsors for affordable housing purposes or by other local public entities; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 54221(b) and the August 2024 Surplus Land Act Guidelines (SLA Guidelines) published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) require that prior to taking any action to dispose of land that is subject to the Surplus Land Act, the City Council must, at a public meeting, declare the land either surplus land or exempt surplus land, as each are defined in California Government Code section 54221; and
WHEREAS, under the Surplus Land Act, land shall be declared either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with the agency’s policies or procedures; and
2 of 6
WHEREAS, the City purchased the property from the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno at fair market rate; and WHEREAS, the proposed development and affordability restrictions support the findings that the property qualifies as exempt from the California Surplus Land Act pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(A) because the Property will be disposed for the development project pursuant to Government Code section 37364(a) which requires: (1) Minimum of 80% of the area of any parcel shall be used for development of housing; (2) Not less than 40% of the total number of housing units developed on any parcel pursuant to this section shall be affordable to households whose incomes are equal to, or less than, 75 percent of the maximum income of lower income households, and at least half of which shall be affordable to very low-income households; and (3) Dwelling units shall be restricted by regulatory agreement to remain continually affordable to those persons and families for the longest feasible time, but not less than 30 years and shall be recorded against the property; and WHEREAS, none of the characteristics outlined in Government Code section 54221(f)(2) apply to the Property; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Government Code section 54221(b)(1), the land is owned in fee simple by the City for which the governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Fresno as follows:
3 of 6
