City Council Agenda Item Report Submitted by: Angela Melgar Submitting Department: Finance/Treasury Meeting Date: June 7, 2022 SUBJECT Declaration of Surplus Land Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because the designation of the property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review 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 of a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the property is sold to a purchaser and the 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; and B. Adopt Resolution No. 2022-13 declaring pursuant to Government Code Section 54221 that real property owned by the City of Vernon located in an unincorporated area of Kern County, 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. Background: The Surplus Land Act is state law (Government Code section 54220, et seq.) (SLA), which requires that before a local agency takes any action to dispose of (sell or lease) real property, it must declare the property to be either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land”. Unless the surplus land is exempt, the agency must give written notice of its availability to any local public entity within whose jurisdiction the property is located, as well as housing sponsors that have notified the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of their interest in surplus property. The legislative intent of the SLA is to address the housing crisis in the State by essentially granting affordable housing developers a "right of first refusal" on any land disposed of by a local agency. The SLA created a series of procedures local agencies must follow prior to disposition of real property no longer necessary for the agency's use. The HCD has oversight authority to enforce compliance with the SLA and has issued the guidelines below: Once the City determines if property is not necessary for the agency's use, City Council declares parcel either "surplus" or "exempt surplus" via resolution. City sends a Notice of Availability (NOA) to the parties designated in the SLA, including HCD. Any interested entity or association has 60 days after the NOA is transmitted to notify the City in writing. All responses to the NOA must be date and time stamped by the City as they are received. If no notice of interest (NOI) is received, the City may proceed to dispose of the parcel, but must record a deed restriction requiring 15% of any residential units of a development of 10 or more units be affordable for period of 55 years for rental units and 45 years for ownership units. A copy of the recorded deed restriction must be provided to HCD. If such Notice of Interest is received and complies with the SLA, the City must enter into "good faith" negotiations to determine a mutually satisfactory sales price and terms. If the price or terms cannot be agreed upon after a good faith negotiation period of not less than 90 days, the City may dispose of the land however it wishes, subject to final approval of the City's process by HCD and must record the same deed restriction, described above. After the City has sent a NOA and concluded attempts to negotiate in good faith with any interested party, and is about to enter into an agreement with an entity, the City must provide a report to HCD, describing its NOA and negotiation process. HCD then has 30 days to notify the City whether it has violated the SLA. The City would in turn have 60 days to correct the violation or submit findings as to why the law was not violated. Otherwise, if the City is not notified of a violation by HCD within 30 days, the City received "safe harbor" and is not subject to the SLA's penalty provisions, which the HCD can impose for noncompliance. If an agency fails to provide the proper notices, the SLA includes significant penalties. For a first violation of the SLA, HCD can require that 30% if the sales price be deposited into a local housing trust and 50% for subsequent violations. The SLA’s definition of “exempt surplus property” includes: property that is less than 5000 square feet; property that is transferred to another local, state or federal agency for that agency’s use; property exchanged for another property for that agency’s use; property put out to competitive bid for 100% affordable housing units or for 300 (or more) housing units, at least 25% of which must be affordable to lower income households; property that is subject to a valid legal restriction not imposed by the local agency that would prohibit housing (nonresidential zoning is not a valid legal restriction); property that is too small for residential use; or is a former street or easement that is conveyed to an adjacent property owner; and property that is licensed or leased for one year or less. City staff has concluded that the proposed surplus property does not qualify as exempt under the SLA. On May 17, 2022, the Declaration of Surplus Land for City-owned property in Kern County and property on East 55th Street, Vernon agenda item was tabled. Staff is bringing the Declaration of Surplus Land for the property in Kern County back for City Council's consideration. The City-owned property on East 55th Street in Vernon may be addressed at a later time, should the City no longer have a use for said property. Proposed Surplus Property The City of Vernon is the owner in fee simple of real property located in the unincorporated area of Kern County northeast of Tehachapi and west of State Route 14. In 2008, the City purchased 29,722.44 acres of land in Kern County, California (Kern County Property) in an area known as the Tehachapi Wind Resources Area, with the intent of developing renewable energy power facilities to enhance the City’s municipal electric utility operated by its Light and Power Department. In 2010, the City sold a 12,420 acre portion of the Wind Land. The remaining Kern County Property is approximately 16,409.70 acres in size, is vacant, undeveloped land, and is not currently being used by the City. The City has determined that the development of renewable energy power facilities on the Kern County Property by the City is no longer feasible. The City desires to declare that the property described above is surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use. Any proposed Purchase and Sale Agreements related to this property in the future will be subject to City Council approval. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
