A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA DECLARING VARIOUS PROPERTIES AS
SURPLUS LAND AND EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND AND
DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO FOLLOW THE
PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THE SURPLUS LAND ACT,
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54220, ET
SEQ., AS AMENDED, FOR THEIR DISPOSITION
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines,
and declares as follows:
A. The City of Santa Ana (the "City") is the owner of real property assets that have
been acquired for various roadway improvement projects now completed, as
described on Exhibit A (collectively, the "Properties").
B. The Properties are leftover parcels from full parcel acquisitions that were made
following the City's environmental analysis that the project impacts could not be
adequately mitigated if only partial acquisitions were made.
C. The Properties remain vacant.
D. The City's Public Works Agency has ongoing fencing and cleanup costs associated
with maintenance and security of the Properties.
E. There are frequent calls from the public inquiring about site maintenance, clean-
up, vacant status, and/or expressing support for development of the Properties.
F. Proceeds from the sale of the Properties will benefit the Bristol Corridor and Warner .
Avenue Improvements projects, and the property tax generated may provide
funding to enhance City services, and the future development of the Properties
would eliminate blight and promote neighborhood liability and sustainability.
G. The Properties have become surplus within the meaning of the California Surplus
Land Act ("SLA"), Government Code section 54220 et seq., as amended, and are
not necessary for the City's use.

H. A portion of the Properties are "exempt" under the SLA, as further identified in
Exhibit A. Exempt Properties may be declared "exempt surplus land" and must be
supported by written findings before a local agency may take any action to dispose
of the Properties consistent with statutory requirements, SLA guidelines, and/or a
local agency's policies or procedures.
I. The exempt Properties qualify under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B).
Specifically, the exempt Properties are less than one-half acre in area and are not
contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space
or low- and moderate-income housing purposes.
J. None of the characteristics listed under Government Code section 54221,
subdivision (f)(2) apply to the Properties. Specifically, the Properties are not within
a Coastal Zone, nor are they adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System,
nor are they listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to
be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places, nor are they within the Lake
Tahoe region as defined in Government Code section 66905.5, otherwise the City
would be required to provide a written notice of availability for open-space
purposes to entities described in Government Code section 54222, subdivision (b).
K. The City is determining that the Properties identified in Exhibit A are, in fact, both
surplus and exempt surplus land under the SLA and City will notify the Department
of Housing and Community Development no less than thirty (30) days prior to the
disposing of any exempt surplus land.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the Properties are no
longer necessary for the City's use and are therefore exempt surplus land, as terms defined
in California Government Code section 54221, as amended, based on the true and correct
written findings found in Section 1, incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 3. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to follow the
procedures of the Surplus Land Act, California Government Code section 54220, et seq., as
amended with respect to the disposition of the Properties.
Section 4. Any proposed agreements for the sale of the Properties shall be subject
to the approval of the City Council.
Section 5. Sales of the Properties as surplus are exempt from environmental review
under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
section 15312 (Surplus Government Property Sales). However, if development was proposed
on the Properties by subsequent buyer, then that development would be reviewed under
CEQA.
Section 6. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
City Council and the City Clerk shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
