SUMMARY
Staff recommends proceeding with the sale of approximately 0.8 acres of City-owned land at the former right-of-way at Whitesell Street and Breakwater Avenue. City Council previously approved the vacation of this right-of-way and declared the property Exempt Surplus Land on October 7, 2025. The site, which includes a remnant parcel and former street right-of-way, is now ready for sale to the adjoining property owner, Link Logistics Real Estate LLC, owner of 3832 Bay Center Place. This sale will allow consolidation with their existing industrial site and support the productive reuse of underutilized land.

The purchase price will be the appraised Fair Market Value of $840,000, to be paid in full at closing.
