RECOMMENDATION(S):

FIND that County-owned property located at 910 San Pablo Avenue, in Pinole, was vacated by Animal Services and is no longer necessary for any County purposes.


FIND that a 2.72-acre portion of County-owned property located at 323 Brookside Drive, Richmond, was acquired for roadway purposes but is no longer necessary for those or any County purposes.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DECLARE, based on the above written findings, County-owned property located at 910 San Pablo Avenue, in Pinole, and a 2.72-acre portion of County-owned property located at 323 Brookside Drive, in Richmond, to be surplus land within the meaning of Government Code Section 54221(b)(1).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

County staff has identified two properties that are no longer necessary for County purposes and wishes to have them declared surplus. The County owns fee title to both of the properties.


The property located at 910 San Pablo Avenue, in Pinole, was purchased by the County in 2002 for the West County Animal Shelter. It consists of 0.40 acres of land and a 5,483 sq. ft. single-story building. The property is located in a shopping center. In March of 2020, Animal Services vacated the site and consolidated operations to other facilities.

The property located at 323 Brookside Drive, in Richmond, was purchased by the County from the Flood Control District in 2013 for future road improvements. A portion equivalent to 2.72-acres of the 3.13 acre site is no longer needed for County purposes and the current tenant, Urban Tilth, has requested that the County declare the 2.72-acre portion surplus so that they might acquire the surplus site.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be in compliance with the Surplus Lands Act.
