A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DECLARING
CERTAIN CITY-OWNED REAL PROPERTY TO BE SURPLUS
PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54220, ET SEQ.,
FINDING THAT SUCH DECLARATION IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, AND DIRECTING STAFF TO
TAKE RELATED ACTIONS
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach is the owner in fee simple of that certain real property
located at 4197 Ironwood Avenue, Seal Beach, CA (Assessor Parcel Number 217-191-
09) as described in Exhibit A attached hereto ("Property"); and,
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 5,200 square feet in size, and is currently
improved with a single family residence, and is not used by the City for municipal
purposes nor according to a written plan adopted by the City Council for City work or
operations; and,
WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220-54234, defines
surplus property as land owned by any local agency that is not necessary for the agency's
use and requires that the City follow certain procedures prior to engaging in negotiations
to sell land; and,
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the Property is not suitable for the City's use;
and,
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to declare that the Property is surplus land and
proceed with disposition pursuant to Government Code Sections 54220 et seq.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Seal Beach hereby declares that the Property
and any rights, title, and interest therein, is "surplus land" pursuant to
Government Code Section 54221(b). The basis for this declaration is that
the City cannot financially afford to utilize the Property for a City purpose,
that continuing maintenance of the Property would require a significant
expenditure of City funds, and the site is not included in any adopted written
work plan.
Section 2. This Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") as designation of
this Property as "surplus land" does not have the potential for creating a
significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further
review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines
Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
because the action merely designates for disposition an improved single
family residential lot in a single family residential zone.
Section 3. The Council hereby directs the City Manager or authorized designee to do
all things necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, including
preparation and distribution a Notice of Availability ("NoA") to the entities
designated in Government Code Section 54222 as required by applicable
law.
Section 4. The City Manager or authorized designee are hereby authorized, jointly and
severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to
effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously
taken are hereby ratified and confirmed. Such actions include negotiating
in good faith in accordance with the requirements of the Act with any of the
Designated Entities that submit a written notice of interest to purchase or
lease the Properties in compliance with applicable law.
Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause
this resolution and her certification to be entered in the permanent records
of the City.

meeting held on the 13th day of February, 2023 by the following vote:
