Approve Agreement for the Sale of City -Owned Real Property <br />April 2, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />Staff notified the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) <br />for review of the City of Santa Ana's Resolution No 2023-065 declaring properties as <br />Exempt Surplus Land. According to the resolution, the properties are less than 5,000 <br />square feet in size and are not contiguous to land owned by the state or local agency <br />that is being used for open -space or low -and moderate -income housing purposes. The <br />HCD found the subject properties qualified as exempt surplus land under Government <br />Code section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(B), thus allowing for the transfer of ownership <br />accordingly. <br />Staff recommends approval of the recommended actions to transfer ownership of <br />unused and undevelopable land to the adjacent property owner (Exhibit 3), as <br />authorized via Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-706 Sale to Owners of Adjoining <br />Property, and Section 2-709 Exceptions to transfer ownership of substandard vacant <br />land. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Costs for maintaining vacant lots have escalated over the years, with frequent <br />maintenance charges for installation, rental fees, damaged material replacement fees, <br />and emergency fencing requests. Activating remnant land will help to generate <br />necessary project funding that will support right-of-way maintenance and security <br />citywide (Exhibit 4). <br />Approval of the recommended Appropriation Adjustment will recognize the receipt of <br />$4,800 via the Public Works General Fund, Sale of Land revenue account and <br />appropriate the same into the Public Works Right -of -Way expenditure account, <br />Improvements Other Than Building via the FY 2023-24 Right of Way Management <br />project (24-6900) <br />Fiscal <br />Accounting <br />Fund <br />Accounting Unit, <br />Year <br />Unit —Account <br />Description <br />Account No. <br />Amount <br />No. <br />Description <br />01117622- <br />Public Works <br />Public Works Right-of- <br />2023-24 <br />66220 <br />General Fund <br />Way, Improvements <br />$4,800 <br />24-6900 <br />Other Than Building <br />TOTAL <br />$4,800 <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
