Purchase and Sale Agreements — RFP 20-159 Sale of City -Owned Vacant Properties December 21, 2021 Page 2 proportionally based on match requirements, consistent with Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) Cooperative Agreement C-6-0069 between respective agencies. On March 5, 2019, the City Council authorized for disposition of various City -owned properties via the Request for Proposals (RFP) process and direct negotiations for sites with substandard lot conformity. On April 2, 2019, the City issued RFP 19-026, which solicited the sale and development of various combined properties with existing residential, commercial, and professional office zoning designations. On November 18, 2019, the City Council approved Purchase and Sale Agreements to activate various City - owned vacant properties, and generate over $2 million in revenue generating developments and new sales tax revenues with increased property tax rolls and additional utility user taxes collected on an annual basis in perpetuity. On April 21, 2020, the Santa Ana City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-032 declaring the Property as surplus land and directing the City Manager to comply with the requirements of California Government Code Section 54220 et seq. ("Surplus Land Act") for the disposition of the Property. On April 27, 2020, the City released a Notice of Availability ("NOX) of surplus property for the Property for a period of 60 days. This NOA was sent out to all " local public entities," as defined in Health and Safety Code section 50079, within whose jurisdiction the surplus land is located, and to "Housing Sponsors" that have notified the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") of their interest in surplus land. The NOA was also sent to local parks agencies and school districts. The Property (Exhibit 1) was among those for which either no responses were received by entities receiving the notices of availability or for which responses were received and good faith negotiations ended after a period of not less than 90 days without agreement to price and terms. On December 10, 2020, the City issued RFP 20-159, by which it sought proposals for the development of various vacant properties in Santa Ana. The properties that were the subject of RFPs for Sale of Vacant Properties are leftover parcels from full parcel acquisitions that were originally made for street -widening projects now completed. The full parcel acquisitions were made following the City's environmental analysis that the project impacts could not be adequately mitigated if only partial acquisitions were made. When full acquisitions are made under these circumstances, some leftover land ordinarily results. These parcels have never been intended for the City's use, have remained vacant since project completion, and have always been held for the purpose of exchange only. To provide an opportunity for all interested parties to submit proposals, the RFP was solicited electronically via the City's web -based electronic procurement system, PlanetBids.
