DISCUSSION
On October 20, 2008, City Council approved a cooperative agreement with Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) for the Grade Crossing Enhancement Program at ten crossings
in the City. Improvements include medians, roadway signing and striping, pedestrian gates and
other vehicular gate enhancements. OCTA is the lead agency for this project and the City is
responsible for 12 percent of the total costs.
The purpose of this program is to enhance railroad safety and make streets and roads safer for
the community. One of the railroad crossings to be enhanced as a result of this program is at
Seventeenth Street. To install the improvements at this crossing, OCTA determined that
acquisition of 242 square feet will be required from the property at 1102 E. Seventeenth Street.
The compensation amount is the appraised value prepared by an appraiser licensed in the State
of California.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
A Notice of Exemption and Categorical Exemption -Class 1 (f): Safety Protection Devices (ER #
2008-159) has been prepared for the project and is consistent with both of these agreements.
