RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA DECLARING VARIOUS PROPERTIES AS
SURPLUS LAND AND EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND AND
DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO FOLLOW THE
PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THE SURPLUS LAND ACT,
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54220, ET
SEQ., AS AMENDED, FOR THEIR DISPOSITION
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Co uncil of the City of Santa Ana hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The City of Santa Ana (the “City”) is the owner of real property assets that h
ave been acquired for various roadway improvement projects now completed, as described on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Properties”).
B. The Properties are leftover parcels from full parcel acquisitions that were made following the City’s environmental analysis that the project impacts could not be adequately mitigated if only partial acquisitions were made.
C. The Properties remain vacant.
D. The City’s Public Works Agency has ongoing fencing and cleanup costs associated with maintenance and security of the Properties.
E. There are frequent calls from the public inquiring about site maintenance, clean- up, vacant status, and/or expressing support for development of the Properties.
F. Proceeds from the sale of the Properties will benefit the Bristol Corridor and Warner Avenue Improvements projects, and the property tax generated may provide funding to enhance City services, and the future development of the Properties would eliminate blight and promote neighborhood liability and sustainability.
G. The Properties have become surplus within the meaning of the California Surplus Land Act (“SLA”), Government Code section 54220 et seq., as amended, and are not necessary for the City’s use.
EXHIBIT 1
H. A portion of the Properties are “exempt” under the SLA, as further identified in Exhibit A
. Exempt Properties may be declared “exempt
surplus land”
and must be supported by written findings before a local agency may t
ake any action to dispose of the Properties consistent with statutory requirements,
SLA guidelines, and/or a local agency’s policies
or procedures.
I. The
exempt Properties qualify under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B). Specifically, the exempt Properties are less than one- half acre in ar
ea and are not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that i
s used for open-s pace or low- and moderate-i ncome
housing purposes.
J. None of the characteristics listed under Government Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(2) apply to the Properties. Specifically, the Properties are not within a Coastal Zone, nor ar e they adjacent to a historical unit
of the S tate Parks System, nor are they listed on, or
determined by
the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register
of Historic Places, nor are they within the Lake
Tahoe region as defined in Government Code section 66905.5, otherwise the City would be required to provide a written notice of availability for open-space purposes to entities described in Government Code section 54222, s
ubdivision (b).
K. The City is determining that the Properties identified in Exhibit A are, in fact, both surplus and exempt surplus land under the SLA and City will notify the Department
of Housing and Community Development no less
than thirty (
30) days prior to the disposing of any exempt surplus land.
Section 2. T
he City Council hereby finds and declares that the Properties are no longer necessary for the City’s use and are therefore exempt surplus land, as terms defined in California Government Code section 54221, as amended, based on the true and correct written findings found in Section 1, incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 3. The City
Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to follow the procedures of the Surplus Land Act, California Government Code section 54220, et seq., as amended, with respect to the disposition of the Properties.
Section 4. Any proposed ag reements for the sale of the Properties shall be subject to the approval of the City Council.
Section 5. Sales of the Properties as surplus are exempt from environmental EXHIBIT 1
review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15312 (Surplus Government Property Sales). However, if development was proposed on the Properties by a subsequent buyer, then that development would be reviewed under CEQA.
Section 6. This Reso
lution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
