Subject: Comment regarding Adoption of Resolution of Necessity to Acquire
Real Property by Eminent Domain for 215 E. Warner Avenue, Santa Ana, CA
92707, Orange County, Assessor Parcel No. 403-142-15 ("Property")
Dear City Council,
This comment is regarding the Owner's real property located at 215 E. Warner
Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92707, Orange County, Assessor Parcel No. 403-142-15
("Property"). The Property is sought to be acquired by the City of Santa Ana
using the power of eminent domain.
The Owner has negotiated continuously with the City's representatives on
different approaches for the City to acquire the subject property. After the
Owner discussed with Mr. Kenny Nguyen on November 17, 2020, one feasible
proposal is as below:
Page 1
1) To construct the Warner Avenue Improvement Project, the City seeks to
fully take the subject Property.
2) The Owner exchanges such Owner's property for the empty land located
at the nearby block: 2246 S. Cvpress Avenue, Santa Ana CA 92707
Orange County, Assessor Parcel No. 403-141-09. Such empty land has
been acquired, vacated, and owned by the City. Attached is the land
ROW Exhibit.
3) The City permits the Owner to construct a new building at the empty land
with the same zoning as the previous owner had (CR zoning), according to
the "grandfather's law".
4) After the land exchange, the City pays the Owner the difference between
the appraised value of the subject property and the empty land.
5) The City pays the Owner the loss of use (rental loss) between demolishing
the subject property and the new building is built and rented out.
6) The City pays the demolishing & trashing cost and tenant's relocation fee.
7) The City pays the Appraisal reimbursement fee up to $5,000.
If the City accepts this proposal, we can proceed together on this transaction
soon. Therefore, the Adoption of Resolution of Necessity to Acquire Real
Property by Eminent Domain or other court proceeding is not necessary.
Respectfully,
By:�—
