AGENDA ITEM NO.
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City authorizing the Mayor (or City Manager) to execute a
Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between the City of National City and Alturas Imperial LLC for the sale of
a recently vacated portion of 'G' Avenue, south of East 24th Street in National City.

EXPLANATION: On December 18, 2012, the Council ordered the vacation of the northerly 194 feet of the
easterly 15 feet of G' Avenue in association with the construction of a proposed Social Security Administration office.
The vacated area would allow for the expansion of the proposed parking lot so that it can accommodate emergency
access vehicles and provide increased parking for customers. The fee ownership of the land underneath the former
street right-of-way belongs to the City. On February 19, 2013, the City Council declared the vacated portion of G
Avenue as surplus property, the first step in allowing for the sale of the property. The property is not identified in the
General Plan or other Specific Plans as being needed for any City development or improvement projects and would
be of greater benefit to an adjacent property now that it is no longer needed as a right-of-way. Therefore, staff
recommends that the property be sold in order to facilitate a project which will be a benefit to the community.
Since declaration of the property as surplus, the developers of the adjacent property have ordered an appraisal of the
property and title insurance per City Council Policy 901 (attached). The property was appraised, the value of which
was established at $18,000. Council Policy 901 requires that the City pay for the title insurance and half of the
escrow fee, which comes to $670 ($420 for the title insurance and half of the $500 escrow fee). These fees would be
deducted from the appraised sale price.
