FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. Conveyance of right-of-way is necessary for the Bailey Road Improvement Project. The contribution of right-of-way, together with $332,826 of budgeted Bay Point Redevelopment funds, will cover the County’s local match for the grant funds received for the project.
BACKGROUND:
The County Public Works Department and Redevelopment Agency (Agency) are working with the City of Pittsburg to implement the Bailey Road Improvement Project. The improvements would be to Bailey Road between State Route 4 and Leland Road. The road improvements are along the frontage of the Orbisonia Heights neighborhood where the Agency has been working on a land assemblage program for transit oriented development. The right-of-way conveyance is pursuant to Government Code § 33220 (g). The right-of-way conveyance consists of approximately two and a half feet for road right-of-way and five feet for public utility easement along the Bailey Road frontage of the Orbisonia Heights area.
The City of Pittsburg, as the lead agency for the project, adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration on September 21, 2009. Staff is recommending that Contra Costa County, the responsible Agency for the project, adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project under a separate board item.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Receipt of grant funds to carry out the project could be jeopardized if conveyance of right-of-way is delayed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
