Joint Public Hearing – Resolution and Purchase and Sale Agreement for Acquisition of <br />Real Property for Park Space <br />September 6, 2022 <br />Page 3 <br />2 <br />9 <br />3 <br />2 <br />Government Code §54220 et seq. On April 21, 2020, the City of Santa Ana, acting as <br />Successor Agency, declared the properties as surplus. On January 27, 2021, the City <br />released Notice of Availability (“NOA”) of surplus properties for a period of sixty (60) days. <br />The NOA’s were sent to all “local public entities,” as defined in Health and Safety code <br />section 50079, within whose jurisdiction the surplus land is located and to “Housing <br />Sponsors” that have notified the California Department of Housing and Community <br />Development (“HCD”) of their interest in surplus land. The NOA’s were also sent to local <br />parks agencies and school districts. <br />One response was received to the NOA, negotiations for the property commenced, and <br />the respondant withdrew interest in the properties. Negotiations ended and the properties <br />may now be sold with affordability restrictions. While the property will be sold for the <br />purposes of park space, the sale of the property will include a deed restriction indicating <br />that any future residential development on the properties that contains 10 or more units <br />must restrict 15% of the units for affordable housing to conclude Surplus Land Act <br />requirements for disposition. <br />Approval of this action finalizes authorizations for the City’s acquisition of the six parcels, <br />at 10th and Flower, for Parks and Recreation to develop a new park as identified in the <br />Parks Master Plan. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds in the amount of $598,000 for the purchase price plus closing and escrow costs <br />are available in the ARPA account (no. 18113013-65100) for expenditure in FY 2022-23. <br />Funds for the Successor Agency’s closing and escrow costs as the seller are available in <br />the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund account (no. 67018843-62300). Upon <br />approval by the Oversight Board and DOF, and completion of the transaction, $598,000 <br />in proceeds from the sale will be deposited in the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement <br />Funds Revenue account (no. 67018002-57071) and payment to the County of Orange, <br />Auditor-Controller will be made from expenditure account (no. 67018850-69142). <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
