PW-PEM AUTHORIZE THE SALE OF CITY PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS THE BUENA VISTA RESERVOIR PROPERTY, APN 156-200-16-00 (PR 13-47) DEPT. DIRECTOR CTTY Am CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 2013-255 _of the City Council of the Hold a public hearing and ADOPT Resolution No. City of Carlsbad authorizing the sale of city property identified as the Buena Vista Reservoir Property, APN 156-200-16-00. ITEM EXPLANATION: On September 24, 2013 the Carlsbad City Council approved Resolution No. 2013-234 approving the Notice of Intention to sell city property located at the vacated Buena Vista Reservoir Property and set November 5, 2013 as the date to hear any protests to the sale at a public hearing. Pursuant to California Code Section 37420, the resolution also includes a declaration that the public interest and convenience require the sale of this property. The declaration was supported by findings of fact that financial benefits will accrue to the city directly from the sale of the property and from future property tax revenues generated upon transfer of the property into private ownership. Future development of the property will provide additional housing opportunities that will benefit the community at large. It is expected that the development of any project on the Buena Vista Reservoir Property will be required to go through the standard review and authorization process and will be required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The public hearing is required by Government Code to provide interested parties the opportunity to protest the proposed sale of public property. Protests may be made orally at the Council meeting or submitted in writing to the Carlsbad City Clerk prior to this meeting. At the conclusion ofthe public hearing, City Council may take final action on the decision to sell the property. A simple affirmative majority vote is required if there are no protests and a four-fifths affirmative majority vote is required if there are protests. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Joe Garuba (760) 434-2893 or ioe.qaruba@carlsbadca.aov FOR SECRETARY'S USE ONLY. BOARD ACTION: APPROVED • CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC n. DENIED • CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN WITHDRAWN • RETURNED TO STAFF AMENDED • BOARD RECEIVED THE • REPORT/PRESENTATION OTHER - SEE MINUTES • Page 2 In conformance with Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2.24.065(a), the City Council must make a finding of general plan consistency in order to dispose of real property. The sale of the Buena Vista Reservoir Property does not conflict with any goal, objective or policy of the Carlsbad General Plan. Furthermore, the property is not needed for necessary public infrastructure and disposal of the property does not preclude the property's use for residential purposes consistent with the general plan. In the course of evaluating the property, staff identified an erroneous legal descnption on the recorded property title. This error was traced back to the original transfer in 1958 between the Carlsbad Mutual Water District and the City of Carlsbad. In order to rectify this error, staff has . provided a corrected grant deed and requests City Council authorization for the City Manager or his designee to file the correction documents with the San Diego County Assessor's Office. This action is necessary for the property to be sold. If the City Council determines it is in the public interest to sell the property, it will be marketed to potential buyers. Staff will return to the Carlsbad City Council with a formal recommendation after offers have been evaluated by staff and external real estate consultants (as needed). FISCAL IMPACT: The revenue generated from the sale of the property will be deposited into the City of Carlsbad's General Fund. The value ofthe property should be based on an appraisal ofthe highest and best use ofthe property; Staff has commissioned a formal appraisal ofthe property and will use the appraisal report to assist with the evaluation ofthe offers submitted. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: A resolution of authorization to sell city property does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review. Public Resources Code Section 21065. Future development of the Buena Vista Reservoir Property likely would be considered an in-fill development project. If so, it would also be exempt from environmental review based on CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. EXHIBITS: 1.
