(ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) (Staff: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager) Item: 10.G. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager DATE: 05/04/2022 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Declaring 1063-1123 Walnut Canyon Road (APNs 511-0-030-300, -290, -280, -270, -260, -250) and 1293-1331 Walnut Canyon Road (APNs 511-0-040-140, -130, -120) Surplus Property BACKGROUND The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (Redevelopment Agency) acquired the properties at 1063-1123 Walnut Canyon Road and 1293-1331 Walnut Canyon Road (Property) over the course of several years between 2007 and 2009 in order to aggregate a site for provision of affordable housing. The cost to acquire the nine (9) sites and demolish the structures that existed at the time totaled $3,686,882. 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. The Housing Asset Transfer (HAT) list was approved by the Department of Finance on August 27, 2012. Once the HAT was approved, all Housing properties were transferred to the City of Moorpark Under Redevelopment Agency dissolution law, the former housing assets need to be either developed or sold prior to August 27, 2022. The City of Moorpark has hired the Kosmont Companies to assist with marketing the site and finding a suitable development partner. DISCUSSION The recent enactment of AB 1486 made some changes to the laws that govern surplus government property. The changes now require all properties owned by a City or Successor Agency to go through a surplus property process, subject to some exemptions. Since the properties at 1063-1123 Walnut Canyon Road and 1293-1331 Walnut Canyon Road are owned by the City in their role as Housing Successor, and there are no active Exclusive Negotiating Agreements in place, the surplus property laws apply to these parcels. Staff does have a developer interested in the site, however, in consultation with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), it has been determined that, although the intent of the future sale of the Property is still to provide Item: 10.G. 202 Honorable City Council 05/04/2022 Regular Meeting Page 2 some affordable housing on the Property, HCD has opined that the Surplus Land Act needs to be followed first. The surplus property process requires the City Council to declare the property as surplus or surplus exempt property. Once the declaration has been made, staff needs to prepare a “Notice of Availability” and send it to 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. Therefore, staff has determined that there is no further municipal use for 1063-1123 Walnut Canyon Road and 1293-1331 Walnut Canyon Road 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 (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-____, declaring 1063-1123 Walnut Canyon Road and 1293- 1331 Walnut Canyon Road as surplus property.
