ATTACHMENT "1"
Description of Property
The property that is desired to be acquired is located within a historic residential
neighborhood in the City of Seal Beach. The property is on the north edge of Electric
Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets. The residential neighborhood was developed
almost 100 years ago and is underserved regarding park and open space for the
residents and approximately 2,000,000 annual beach visitors. The site is 2 blocks (100
feet) from the beach and is therefore a location visited often. Directly adjacent to the
property (Electric Greenbelt) is a City Park or open area that is heavily used. The
Electric Greenbelt similar to the Seal Beach RR Right of Way is old railroad property
that has been converted into open space for the community. The Seal Beach RR Right
of Way property is flat and predominantly covered with grass.
