RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute grant deeds to convey 13 former Redevelopment Agency owned sites, Assessor Parcel Nos.147-050-043-8, 147-050-044-6, 147-050-047-9, 148-120-012-7, 148-180-047-0, 148-180-048-8, 148-180-049-6, 148-221-016-6, 148-221-030-7, 148-360-014-2, 148-360-024-1, 148-360-031-6, and 172-100-038-6, which are portions of the Iron Horse Trail Corridor, from the Contra Costa County Successor Agency to Contra Costa County.


DETERMINE that the conveyance of the parcels to the County will not cause any new effects on the physical environment and is exempt pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Department of Conservation and Development to file the Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff costs related to the conveyance are covered by the Successor Agency Administrative budget. Other sources of funding will continue to be used to maintain the corridor. Since the properties will be conveyed for continued public uses, there is no cost for the land.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Successor Agency (former Redevelopment Agency) is the owner of 13 parcels that are part of the Iron Horse Trail Corridor. Disposition of assets of the former redevelopment agency are a necessary aspect of the dissolution of redevelopment agencies.

The 13 subject parcels are public use properties that can be conveyed to the County so they retain their public use.

Since the property disposition does not involve an exchange of money and the property will continue to be used for public use, the disposition can occur outside of the Long Range Property Management Plan. The Contra Costa County Oversight Board adopted Resolution 2018-3 on January 24, 2018, directing the Successor Agency to convey the subject property to the County; and the Department of Finance reviewed the Oversight Board resolution and approved the action on April 13, 2018.

The Iron Horse Corridor properties are identified as Assessor's Parcel Nos. 147-050-043-8, 147-050-044-6, 147-050-047-9, 148-120-012-7, 148-180-047-0, 148-180-048-8, 148-180-049-6, 148-221-016-6, 148-221-030-7, 148-360-014-2, 148-360-024-1, 148-360-031-6, and 172-100-038-6.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The property would need to be conveyed to another public agency in order to retain the public use of the Iron Horse Trail Corridor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Iron Horse Corridor is used for bicycle and pedestrian transportation and recreational opportunities for families. Conveying the property to Contra Costa County will ensure its continues public use.
