Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Transfer of Real Property at North Preisker Lane in Santa Maria from Flood Control to the City of Santa Maria, Fifth District, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
Acting as the Board of Directors, Flood Control and Water Conservation District:
a) Adopt a Resolution determining that the real property located at the terminus of North Preisker Lane in Santa Maria (San Luis Obispo County Assessor’s Parcel Number 090-341-051) is not needed for flood control purposes, which will enable the District to dispose of the property in the manner prescribed by law for such action by counties;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Transfer Agreement between the District and the City detailing the terms and conditions of the property transfer;
c) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Quitclaim Deed, which will release District’s rights, title and interest in the subject property;
d) Instruct the Director of the County Public Works Department, or Director’s designee, to present the executed Quitclaim Deed to the City of Santa Maria for acceptance and thereafter cause the Quitclaim Deed to be entered into the official records of the San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder’s Office; and
e) Determine that the recommended actions are exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15325, as the actions consist of the transfer of ownership interests in land for park purposes and the preservation of open spaces and do not have any reasonable probability of a significant effect on the environment, and direct staff to file a CEQA Notice of Exemption on that basis.
