Adoption of Resolution 24-48 itself does not have a financial impact to the City, however
noticing and negotiating disposition of property as required under the Surplus Land Act may
have financial impacts to the City.

develop a disposition and entitlement strategy for City -owned property in Pacific Center
East.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
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
sets general timelines for posting notification of available surplus property, defines 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) significantly amended the terms of the SLA, as well as added
substantial penalties for noncompliance. The California Housing and Community
Development (HCD) Surplus Land Act Guidelines (HCD Guidelines) for compliance with the
SLA were published in April 2021.
Assembly Bill 480 (Ting, 2023) and Senate Bill 747 (Caballero, 2023) clarified elements of
the SLA and provided new or consolidated exemption options for surplus land. HCD has also
issued Final Updated Surplus Land Act Guidelines (Final Updated SLA Guidelines) to reflect
new legislation which were adopted on August 1, 2024.
The SLA appears to place all City owned property within the newly defined meaning of
"surplus land," and therefore the City is approaching all dispositions as subject to the SLA.
The City has chosen to comply with the law as prescribed in order to avoid tying property up
in lawsuits, and continuing to expedite development of City owned property given the threat
of substantial penalties for noncompliance (30%-50% of final land sale or lease price).
Should the City Council adopt Resolution 24-48, staff will then release the Notice of
Availability (NOA) as required by the SLA and Final Updated SLA Guidelines to the entities
listed in California Government Code 54222.
Once the NOA is released, a 60-day period begins for entities to respond to the NOA with a
notice of interest to purchase or lease the property. If any notices of interest are received
during the 60-day period, the City shall negotiate in good faith for up to 90 days with one or
more responding entities to determine whether price and terms for the sale or lease of the
property can be agreed upon.
If no responses are received during the 60-day period, or if negotiations during the
subsequent 90-day period are unsuccessful, the property may be disposed of without further
SLA implications. The only remaining requirement is that the City must record a covenant
prior to the sale or lease of the property indicating that if ten (10) or more residential units are
ever constructed on the property, fifteen (15) percent of the total amount of units shall be
provided as affordable to lower income households.

Disposition documents and entitlements would be brought before the City Council at a future
date with either (1) an entity that responded to the NOA, or (2) a future competitive process
or sole source process for a development project that can occur after the NOA process is
completed.

with the Final Updated Surplus Land Act Guidelines Section 202(b)(1).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, THAT:
1. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated and adopted as the findings of
the City Council; and
2. This action results in no binding commitment by the City to authorize or
advance the disposition of the Site, will not result in a direct or indirect physical
change in the environment, and does not constitute an "approval" of a "project"
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15004 and 15352; and
3. Subject to the findings above, the Site comprised of APN 430-251-23 and 430-
