Street and Spruce Road in Chula Vista, California, consisting of a 4,552 square foot portion of
Walnut Drive between Main Street and Spruce Road (Property); and
WHEREAS, the Property was reviewed by the City, and no City departments require
retention of the Property for a City municipal use; and
WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act (California Government Code 54220 through 54234) is
generally intended to make a local agency’s surplus land available for potential acquisition by
affordable housing sponsors or other local public entities; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 54221(b)(1) requires the Council to take formal
action at a regular public meeting to declare the Property surplus land or exempt surplus land, as
supported by written findings, before the City may take any action to dispose of the Property ; and
WHEREAS, the written findings supporting an exempt surplus land declaration must be
provided to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for
review at least thirty days before the City’s disposition of the land pursuant to Section 400(e) of
the HCD’s Surplus Land Act Guidelines (SLA Guidelines); and
WHEREAS, the City seeks to sell the Property to the adjacent property owner that owns
Assessor’s Parcel Number 624-042-11-00; and
WHEREAS, the Property is exempt surplus land pursuant to California Government Code
section 54221(f)(1)(B) because the Property is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous
to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income
housing purposes; and
WHEREAS, none of the characteristics listed under California Government Code section
54221(f)(2) apply to the property; and

sale of the Property, nor does it require that the City sell the Property, nor does it require that such
a Real Property Sale Agreement contain any specific term or condition.
