RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING AS EXEMPT SURPLUS A CITY-OWNED PARCEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 1,032 SQUARE FEET, LOCATED NEAR VICTORIA AVENUE AND ELSINORE ROAD, PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 1486.
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2020, Assembly Bill 1486 (“AB 1486”), as subsequently amended, 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 February 23, 2026, the City, through its Public Works Department, recommended the conveyance of an approximately 1,032 square foot portion of City-owned land, located near Victoria Avenue and Elsinore Road (“Property”), legally described and depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, currently used as parkway and frontage, be transferred back to the original adjacent property owner; and WHEREAS, the Property was originally acquired as parkway area from the adjacent property owner located at 5188 Victoria Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel Number 223-122-025; and WHEREAS, the Property is no longer needed by the City and the City desires to transfer the Property in fee, subject to certain reserved easements in favor of the City, to the adjacent property owner; 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 Property is land that is no longer necessary for the City’s use and falls within the definition of Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B) for “exempt surplus property” noted above because 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.
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.
Section 2. The City-owned land located near Victoria Avenue and Elsinore Road, legally described and depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, is hereby declared to be exempt surplus property as it is no longer needed, 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.
ADOPTED by the City Council this ______ day of _____________, 2026. ___________________________
