RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROPRIATING FUNDS FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED
BALANCE OF GAS TAX FUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF
PROPERTY FOR SHY LANE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND AUTHORIZING
THE CITY ENGINEER TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
COUNTY TO PURCHASE TWO TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTIES
WHEREAS, recently, the county of San Diego's tax collector's office notified the city
of several parcels of land that were to be auctioned for back taxes due on them to the county;
and
WHEREAS, there were two parcels that staff determined should be purchased; and
WHEREAS, Parcel I is located on the north side of L Street near Third Avenue and
contains 9,060 square feet (0.21 acres) wherein the city is proposing to construct channel
improvements on Telegraph Canyon Creek as part of the budgeted Telegraph Canyon Creek
project; and
WHEREAS, obtaining this parcel would be of great benefit to the city, both in using as
a staging area for the project and precluding the need to acquire the necessary drainage
easement through the property and should the parcel not be purchased through this tax
default sale, the cost of purchasing an easement in the future would probably exceed the
~2,700.00 asking price of the whole parcel; and
WHEREAS, Parcel 2 is entirely within the right-of-way of Shy Lane, which was recently
improved under a block act by the city and contains approximately 8,620 square feet (0.2
acres) and belongs to a property owner who had asked an inflated price for the land when
approached by city staff when the Shy Lane improvements were being designed; and
WHEREAS, since the land had been used for many years as a street, it was deemed
unnecessary to acquire it as right-of-way and that the risk of damages resulting from inverse
condemnation were minimal and in order to obtain clear title to the entire Shy Lane right-of-
way, it is recommended that council appropriate $900.00 to purchase the parcel since the
original project has long since been closed out; and
WHEREAS, the county has prepared agreements to be executed by the city to
complete the purchases; and
WHEREAS, staff is requesting that council authorize the city engineer to sign the
agreements on behalf of the city and to appropriate the funds necessary to complete the
purchase of one of the properties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby appropriate ~900.00 from the unappropriated balance of Gas Tax Fund No. 250 for
the purchase of property for Shy Lane right-of-way.
