(APN: 491-140-041) IS SURPLUS LAND AND NOT NECESSARY FOR THE CITY'S USE, FINDING THAT SUCH DECLARATION IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, AND TAKING RELATED ACTIONS WHEREAS, the City of Banning ("City") is the owner in fee simple of that certain real property located at the Northeast corner of Highland Springs Road and Sun Lakes Blvd. (APN: 491-140-041) and described in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and made a part of hereof ("Property"); and WHEREAS, under the Surplus Property Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220-54233 ("Act"), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by the City for which the City Council takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus and not necessary for the City's use. The land must be declared either surplus land or exempt surplus land; and WHEREAS, under the Act, land is necessary for the City's use if the land is being used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the City Council, for City work or operations; and WHEREAS, the Property is undeveloped, and is currently a long and narrow parcel used as a landscape buffer area between Highland Springs Road and the adjacent shopping center and is not otherwise being used by the City; and WHEREAS, City staff has evaluated the Property for its potential to be used for City work or operations; and WHEREAS, City staff has determined that the Property is not suitable for the City's use; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to declare that the Property is surplus land and not necessary for the City's use; and WHEREAS, the Act requires that before the City Council disposes of the Property or engages in negotiations to dispose of the Property, the City shall send a written notice of availability of the Property to certain designated entities; and WHEREAS, the accompanying staff report provides supporting information upon which the declaration and findings set forth in this Resolution are based; -1- Resolution 2020-41 NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby resolves as follows: SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution. SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is surplus land and not necessary for the City's use. The basis for this declaration is that the parcel in question is long and narrow, is not suitable for an development project independent of the adjacent shopping center. In addition, it has no independent access to a public street and if such access were created, it would require the construction of a driveway into a busy intersection along Highland Springs Road. For all these reasons, it is not suitable for development or use of the City. SECTION 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a notice of availability, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and made a part of hereof, to the entities designated in Government Code Section 54222 ("Designated Entities") by electronic mail or by certified mail. SECTION 4. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA"). City staff has determined that the designation of this property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the property is sold to a purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for the property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA. SECTION 5. The City Clerk is directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062. SECTION 6. The officers and staff of the City are hereby authorized, jointly and severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and confirmed. Such actions include negotiating in good faith in accordance with the requirements of the Act with any of the Designated Entities that submit a written notice of interest to purchase or lease the Property in compliance with the Act.
