Agenda Report—Surplus Property Declaration
June 15, 2021

The Surplus Land Act (SLA) defines the process for local agencies to follow when
disposing of surplus parcels of land owned in fee that are no longer needed for the City's
use. The SLA set general timelines for posting notification of available surplus property,
defined the process for negotiating with an affordable housing developer in the event one
expresses interest, and the process for disposition absent any notification of interest or in
the event negotiations do not result in a sale to a qualifying affordable housing developer.
Assembly Bill 1486 (Ting, 2019) amended the SLA and significantly changed the terms
of the SLA, as well as added substantial penalties for noncompliance. The Final Housing
and Community Development Department (HCD) Guidelines (Final HCD Guidelines) for
compliance with the SLA were published in April 2021.
The SLA and Final HCD Guidelines grant certain exemptions for various types of
property, and for property subject to certain agreements, including Exclusive Negotiating
Agreements (ENAs) that were entered into prior to September 30, 2019.
The City and Brookfield Residential Southern California LLC (Brookfield) entered into an
ENA in February 2019, and a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) in
December 2019, for a 400 unit for-sale project within Neighborhood D South at Tustin
Legacy. Construction has commenced and Close of Escrow is expected later in 2021,
with models opening in early 2022.
DISCUSSION
Resolution 21-50 states the findings and declares the Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs)
comprising the Brookfield project property exempt from the requirements of the revised
SLA pursuant to Government Code 54234 and the Final HCD Guidelines Section 103 (b)
(1) (A). There are no additional SLA requirements on these parcels as long as Close of
Escrow occurs before December 31, 2022.
