That the City Council adopt a resolution declaring four groupings of City-owned properties as surplus land pursuant to the California Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) and authorizing the City Manager to issue Notices of Availability consistent with the requirements of the California Surplus Land Act. The properties include Oak Street (APNs 415-0160-051-00, 415-0160-052-00, 415-0160-053-00, 415-0170-036-00, and 415-0170-037-00), Overlook Avenue (APNs 445-0170-020-06 and 445-0180-001-00), Harder Road (APNs 078C-0800-001-01, 078C-0800-029-00, 078C-0800-030-00, 078C-0800-031-00, 078C-0800-032-00, 078C-0800-033-00, 078C-0800-034-00078C-0800-035-00, 078C-0800-036-00, 078C-0800-037-00, 078C-0800-038-00, 078C-0800-039-00, 078C-0800-040-00, 078C-0800-041-00, 078C-0800-042-00, and 078C-0800-043-00), and Carlos Bee Blvd. (APN 445-0200-012-04). Adoption of the resolution will allow the City to initiate the Surplus Land Act notification process prior to any potential future disposition or redevelopment of the properties. Staff further recommends that this action is found exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not constitute a project under CEQA.

SUMMARY
The Surplus Land Act (SLA), Government Code section 54220, et seq., requires a local agency to follow specific procedural steps before disposing of land or negotiating to dispose of land that is no longer needed for the agency’s use. The steps generally involve (1) adopting a resolution declaring the property surplus or exempt surplus, (2) sending notices of availability to entities designated in the SLA, primarily affordable housing developers/sponsors, and (3) negotiating in good faith for ninety (90) days with any entity that submits a notice of interest within sixty (60) days of the issuance of the notice of availability.
This item involves approximately 79.46 acres located along Harder Road, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 078C-0800-001-01, 078C-0800-029-00, 078C-0800-030-00, 078C-0800-031-00, 078C-0800-032-00, 078C-0800-033-00, 078C-0800-034-00, 078C-0800-035-00, 078C-0800-036-00, 078C-0800-037-00, 078C-0800-038-00, 078C-0800-039-00, 078C-0800-040-00, 078C-0800-041-00, 078C-0800-042-00, and 078C-0800-043-00 (collectively, “Parcel Group 4 Properties”); approximately 29.80 acres located at Overlook Avenue, identified as APNs 445-0170-020-06 and 445-0180-001-00 (“Parcel Group 6 Properties”); approximately 4.87 acres located at Carlos Bee Boulevard, identified as APN 445-0200-012-04 (“Parcel Group 7 Property”); and approximately 4.53 acres located along Oak Street, identified as APNs 415-0160-051-00, 415-0160-052-00, 415-0160-053-00, 415-0170-036-00, and 415-0170-037-00 (collectively, “Parcel Group 9 Properties”). The Parcel Group 4 Properties, Parcel Group 6 Properties, Parcel Group 7 Property, and Parcel Group 9 Properties (collectively, the “Properties”).
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution declaring these parcels as surplus pursuant to the SLA. Staff also recommend that the Council authorizes the City Manager or their designee to begin the surplus property notice of availability process consistent with the Surplus Land Act. If the City receives notices of interest in the parcels, staff will return to Council for further direction.
