Agenda Item 6
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The city of Corona (Corona) attempted to acquire the property rights from the
previous property owner, Far West Properties, LP. When negotiations were
unsuccessful, Corona requested the Commission acquire the property rights on its
behalf. In September 2009, the Commission, in its capacity as administrator of the
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial program, authorized
the Executive Director to execute agreements with Corona associated with the
acquisition of right of way for the Foothill Parkway westerly extension project
(Project). In August 2010, the property was sold through a Trustee's Sale to
Lumos Power LP. Representatives of Far West Properties,, LP represent that there
is an overlap in principals between current and previous owners.
The Commission is being requested to consider the adoption of Resolution of
Necessity No. 11-002 declaring its intent to acquire fee, slope easement, and
temporary construction easement interests in real property througheminent domain
proceedings for the construction and maintenance of the Project.
The immediate need for the property acquisition is to proceed with the construction
of the Project. The acquisition is required for, and will benefit the community by
improving traffic circulation and enhancing mobility. This Project will help
redistribute existing traffic and serve as a major arterial outlet by providing
congestion relief to other existing east -west connections such as Ontario Avenue
and 6' Street. The Project is also designed to increase accessibility to the State
Route 91.
The property sought to be acquired, portions of APNs 275-030-006, 275-040-012,
275-040-015, and 275-050-004, is owned by Lumos Power LP. The property is
located partially within Corona and partially south of the city limits in an
unincorporated area of Riverside County, California. The property is located within
the sphere of influence of Corona and is entirely within the county of Riverside.
On February 17, 2011, correspondence was received from the property owner
requesting` that the Commission proceed with a resolution of necessity.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The extension of Foothill Parkway has been planned since the mid-1980s when it
was included in the Sierra del Oro General Plan Amendment. In 2004, it was
included in Corona's General Plan Update and was a key component of the Traffic
Circulation element to Corona's General Plan.
