Dear Ursula Luna-Reynosa:
RE: HCD’s Review of the City of Huntington Beach Resolution No. 2022-14 Declaring Assessor Parcel Number 15928104 as “Exempt Surplus Land.” Thank you for notifying the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of the City of Huntington Beach’s (City) determination of Assessor Parcel Number 15928104 (Property) as “exempt surplus land.” HCD reviewed Resolution No. 2022-14, Staff Report No.22-291, and other documentation you provided (collectively, the “Report”), and considered the City’s claim that the Property qualifies as “exempt surplus land” under Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B).
According to the Report, the Property is approximately 3,374 square feet in area. The City desires to sell the Property to an owner of contiguous land. Furthermore, the Report provides that the 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. Based on this information, HCD concludes 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 as described in the Report.
If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Public Lands at [email protected].
Sincerely,
