MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager
DATE: 11/03/2021 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Declaring 780 Walnut Street Surplus Property
BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (Redevelopment Agency) acquired
the property at 780 Walnut Street (Property) in December 2008 for purposes of affordable
housing. The cost to acquire the site and demolish the structure totaled $251,041.
In 2012, the Redevelopment Agency was dissolved and the City elected to become the
Housing Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark
(Housing Successor Agency). The Housing Successor Agency is tasked with disposing
of the former Successor Agency housing assets. Under Redevelopment Agency
dissolution, the former housing assets need to be either developed or sold prior to August
2022. The City of Moorpark has hired Kosmont Real Estate Services dba Kosmont Realty
(Kosmont) to assist with marketing the site and finding a suitable development partner.
DISCUSSION
The recent enactment of AB 1486, made changes to surplus property laws and now
requires all properties owned by a City or Successor Agency to go through a surplus
property process, subject to some exemptions. Since the property at 780 Walnut Street
is owned by the City, and there is no active Exclusive Negotiating Agreement in place,
the surplus property laws apply to this parcel.
The surplus property process requires the City Council to declare the property as surplus
or surplus exempt property. Once the declaration has been made, per the Surplus Land
Act, staff will prepare a “Notice of Availability” and send it to the State Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) and all interested housing sponsors who
have submitted a request for notice to HCD. Interested parties have sixty (60) days from
the date of the notice to respond to the City, and the City has ninety (90) days to negotiate

a sale of the property. If the property negotiations do not result in a sale with a housing
sponsor, the City is then free to sell the property to other interested parties.
Staff has determined that the property is too small to make a feasible affordable housing
site, and there is no further municipal use for 780 Walnut Street and is recommending
that the City Council declare the property as surplus. The Resolution further directs that
pursuant to Section 33334.16 of the Health and Safety Code proceeds from the sale of
affordable housing properties are to be deposited in the Housing Successor Agency Fund
(2123).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from declaring the property as surplus.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action is consistent with City Council Goal 1, Objective 1.5: “Dispose of applicable
former Moorpark Redevelopment Agency owned properties.”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-__________, declaring 780 Walnut Street as surplus
property.
