RESOLUTION NO . 76- 51
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA OPPOSING THE SALE OF EXCESS
STATE PROPERTY CURRENTLY DESIGNATED AT UTT PARK
The City Council of the City of Tustin does resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, certain State land described on the attached parcel map
has been declared excess by Caltrans, and Caltrans has determined that the
land is to be sold .at the appraised value of $115,000 either to the City of
Tustin or a private developer; and
WHEREAS, said property has been leased to the City of Tustin for.
a period of five years and is currently being used by area residents as a
neighborhood park; and
WHEREAS, said property has been improved by the City of Tustin and
a developer with improvements valued at over $15,000 and maintained by the.
City of Tustin for the same period of time at an annual cost of over $1,200;
and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that because of its unique
configuration and proximity to the freeway, its current zoning and land use
represents the highest and best use of this parcel; and
·
WHEREAS; the City feels that the appraised value and sales price of'
$115,000 is far too excessive for such a parcel; and
·
WHEREAS, the City has determined that this parcel meets the general
criteria of the Porter Bill as set forth in Section 104.15 of the Streets
and Highway Code; and '
WHEREAS, any other use of this property other than as a park would
be a.hardship to the residents and youth of this area as well as an adverse
environmental impact on the area. '
NOW, THEREFORE, The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby
resolve and declare as follows:
That, at such times when open space and recreation are at a premium
that any other use of this property would adversely impact the community,
and further that since this property has been developed and maintained as
a park for the City, the State's appraisal and offer to sell at $115,000
for a site of 1.92 acres is far too excessive.
The City has also determined that a park is the highest and best
use for this parcel and that since the City cannot pay $115,000 for the site,
the City urges Caltrans to reappraise the site to reflect the proper value in
essentially in its best use, and continue the current use as a park for a
period of not less than 10 years. The City of Tustin will continue to main-
tain the park during that 10-year period for the enjoyment and welfare of
the community residents.
