(the"Act") requirements for local agencies prior to the disposition and disposal of a "surplus land"; and WHEREAS, the Property is "surplus land" because it is not entirely necessary for the City's use and none of the statutory exemptions set forth under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1) are fully applicable, and therefore the Property and disposition thereof are subject to the Act; and WHEREAS, due to its location adjacent to UKI, the Property features multiple development constraints, to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly expansion of UKI and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses; and WHEREAS, City staff and consultants will use an appraisal of the Property to establish its market value; and WHEREAS, the Act requires that prior to the disposition of any surplus land where an exemption does not apply, the City must issue a Notice of Availability ("NOA"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Notice") to, among others, affordable housing developers, and thereafter, if any qualified entity submits a quality Notice of Interest within sixty (60) days of issuance of the NOA, the local agency must negotiate in good faith for at least ninety (90) days with any such submitting entities before pursuing alternative disposition; and WHEREAS, the City's portion of the proceeds from the disposition of the Property and tax generated may provide funding to enhance City services, and the future development of a municipal corporation yard. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby finds and declares, as follows: Page 1 of 2 Section 1: The Property is "surplus land" as defined by the Act, because the Property is owned in fee simple by the City, does not fit within the definition of"exempt surplus land" as set forth in the Act, and may only be partially necessary for the City's use. Section 2. The City Council authorizes and approves the form of the Notice, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and authorizes the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Community Development Director, or designee(s) to comply with the requirements of the Act, to issue the Notice to those statutorily entitled to receive it pursuant to Government Code Section 54222, and to negotiate in good faith with those entities, if any, who submit qualified Notices of Interest(Government Code Sections 54222.5 and 54223). Section 3. The action authorized by this Resolution does not authorize or approve the actual disposition or sale of the Property. Any proposed agreement for the disposition of the Property shall be subject to the approval of the City Council. Section 4. The disposition of Property as surplus property is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15312 (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14). However, if development is proposed on the Property by a buyer at a future date, then that subsequent development may be subject to environmental review under CEQA. Section 5. Severability.
