RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING AS EXEMPT SURPLUS TWO VACANT CITY-OWNED PARCELS, APPROXIMATELY 13,200 SQUARE FEET EACH, BEARING ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 193-072-032, FORMERLY KNOWN AS ARMY WELL 1, AND BEARING ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 193-074-012, FORMERLY KNOWN AS LA GRANADA BOOSTER STATION, PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 1486.
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2020, Assembly Bill 1486 (“AB 1486”) expanded the Surplus Land Act to provide that written findings are to be made and adopted declaring property as either surplus property or exempt surplus property before an agency may take any action to dispose of its property; and WHEREAS, on December 28, 1961, the City of Riverside (“City”) and La Granada Water Company (“La Granada”) entered into a Waterworks System Acquisition Agreement for the transfer and conveyance to the City of two (2) vacant parcels identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 193-072-032, formerly known as Army Well 1 and Assessor’s Parcel Number 193-074-012, formerly known as La Granada Booster Station, legally described and depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (collectively “Properties”); and the Properties individually comprise approximately 13,200 square feet; and WHEREAS, La Granada agreed to sell, and the City agreed to buy, substantially all of the assets of La Granada, which included the Properties; and WHEREAS, since the late sixties to early 1970’s, the Properties have remained dormant and are no longer in operation and are not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes; and WHEREAS, last year, some of the equipment and electrical were removed from the Properties and all this is left is the well pumps and casings; and WHEREAS, the Properties are being sold “as-is” and would require the buyer to remove the or cap off the equipment prior to any development; and WHEREAS, per Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B), property may be declared “exempt surplus property” if the property is “less than one-half acre in area and 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;” and WHEREAS, the Properties are vacant land and are no longer necessary for the City’s use and will be put out to an open, competitive bid by the City, in compliance with the requirements of Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(F) noted above, and therefore the Property falls within the AB 1486 definition of “exempt surplus property.” WHEREAS, on June 24, 2024, the Riverside Board of Public Utilities recommended the Properties be declared as exempt surplus as the Properties use was discontinued; and WHEREAS, the City has declared the Properties to be exempt surplus properties as they are no longer needed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Riverside, California, as follows:
Section 1: The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are adopted and incorporated herein by reference as findings of fact of this Board.
Section 2. The vacant City-owned Properties located in the Ramona District area on California Avenue, between Wheeler Street and Lido Drive, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 193-072-032, formerly known as Army Well 1, and Assessor’s Parcel Number 193-074-012, formerly known as La Granada Booster Station, and as legally described and depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, are hereby declared to be exempt surplus properties as they are no longer needed, are less than one-half acre in area and are not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes.
