DISCUSSION In 1985, the City granted a parking easement to Santa Ana Investors (SAI) over land adjacent to SATs property and near Santiago Creek and the Broadway Bridge over the I-5 Freeway. The parking easement deed included a blanket-in-nature reservation to own, operate and maintain a sewer pipe. The SAI property was acquired by Caltrans as part of the I-5 improvements in the 1990'x. The remainder of the SAI property was then deeded to the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and is currently being used by the Discovery Science Center as a parking lot. In 2006, the City conveyed fee title to the land subject to the sewer easement reservation to the Community Redevelopment Agency, which then merged the parcel with the former SAI property. The blanket-in-nature sewer easement reservation will be replaced by a. more specifically described sewer easement, which will be consistent. with the newly realigned sewer pipe location. Staff is recommending the City quitclaim its interest in the easement to CRA (Exhibit 1). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed request is not considered to be a project. No further action is required. 30A-1
