RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DETERMINING THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND
NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION OF PORTIONS OF
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 100 EAST KATELLA AVENUE,
FOR THE PURPOSES OF CONDUCTING ROADWAY
IMPROVEMENT (R /W 5180 -44).
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim has been investigating the
acquisition of various interests in property, including fee
interests and temporary construction easements, on property
located at 100 E. Katella Avenue, for the purposes of making
public roadway improvements, as part of the Anaheim Resort Area
Specific Plan, and the Katella Avenue Smart Street Project; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 1997, after no less than fifteen
(15) days written notice to the owners of the Property referenced
above, and more specifically described in the legal descriptions
attached hereto as Exhibit "A," which legal descriptions are
incorporated herein by reference, the City Council of the City of
Anaheim held a hearing for the purposes of allowing the record
owners of such property reasonable opportunity to appear and be
heard on the following matters:
A. Whether the public interest and necessity required the
Project;
B. Whether the Project is planned or located in a
manner which is most compatible with the greatest
public good and the least private injury;
C. Whether the Property proposed to be acquired is
necessary for the Project; and
D. Whether the offer required by Government Code
7267.2 had been given to the owners of record;
and whether the City had properly exercised all of its statutory
responsibilities and duties antecedent to the exercise of eminent
domain against the Property; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, as a result of such hearing, has
determined that the public health, safety and welfare require
that the City acquire various interests in the Property more
particularly described herein "Property for the purposes of
widening and improving Katella Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the Project for which the Property to be acquired
is sought has previously been reviewed under applicable
environmental review procedures, including Environmental Impact
Report No. 313 (Anaheim Resort); and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim is authorized to acquire the
Property under authority of its own charter, and Government Code
§S 37350.5 and 40404;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim, California, that the City Council does hereby
find, determine and declare upon evidence presented to the City
Council as follows:
SECTION I. The Project consists of the widening and
improving of Katella Avenue,vincluding installation of street
landscaping and public utilities.
SECTION II. The Property to be acquired is located within
the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and
is located at 100 East Katella Avenue, (Assessor Parcel No. 137-
321-57). The portions of Property the City seeks to acquire, and
the Property interests sought, consist of the following:
A. Fee simple title to approximately 3,070.7 square
feet of frontage along the Property, as more
specifically described in Exhibit "A" hereto.
SECTION III. The public interest and necessity require the
Project, in that the City's General Plan, and specifically the
circulation element, calls for the expansion of Katella Avenue in
the manner contemplated by the Project. In addition, the Katella
Avenue widening is coordinated with a regional roadway upgrade
project designed to relieve regional traffic congestion and the
capacity of the street, which will require continuity in the
roadway alignment and traffic handling capacity of the street
both within and without the City of Anaheim.
SECTION IV. The Project is located in a manner most
compatible with the greatest public good and least private
injury, in that the design of the roadway widening must of
necessity occupy land which is immediately adjacent to the
existing roadway, in order to maintain the continuity of the
alignment of the road for all users. The property to be taken
for the Project has been planned for both sides of the roadway,
to avoid taking all of the required right -of -way from those on
one or the other side of the existing road, in an effort to
minimize any disproportionate burden of the required property
being taken from individual property owners. The project is
designed in a manner compatible with the greatest public good, in
that the Project will involve road widening, undergrounding of
utilities, adding median islands, and upgrading parkway
landscaping, along with attendant sewer and storm drain
improvements. This will enhance the utility of the area for
commercial purposes, improve traffic circulation, and improve the
ability of the area to attract and serve tourism.
-2--
SECTION V. The Property is necessary for the proposed
Project, in that the roadway widening must occur on property
immediately adjacent to the existing roadway.
SECTION VI. The offer required by Government Code
7267.2 has been made to the record owners, by way of letter dated
June 26, 1997. Staff has attempted to negotiate with the record
owners subsequent to this offer, but such negotiations have not
proved successful in securing the necessary property interests
outside of more formal proceedings.
SECTION VII. To the extent any of the property to be taken
herein is devoted to a public use, the City finds that the
proposed use for the Project is compatible with, or more
necessary to, such public use, and that the City is authorized to
acquire the Property pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure
1240.510 and 1240.610.
SECTION VIII. The Project has been reviewed and approved
under the California Environmental Quality Act by way of
certification of Environmental Impact Report No. 313, and the
City Council finds and determines that since the time of that
certification there have been no subsequent changes with respect
to the circumstances under which the Project is to be undertaken,
no new information of substantial importance regarding
significant effects or mitigation measures or alternative which
has become available, and no subsequent changes have been
proposed in the Project which would require important revisions
to the previous environmental impact reports, such that no
further environmental review attending this proposed acquisition
is necessary.
SECTION IX. The law firm of Rutan Tucker, LLP, special
counsel for the City of Anaheim, and the City Attorney are hereby
authorized to prepare and prosecute in the name of the City, such
special proceedings in the proper court having jurisdiction
thereof, as are necessary for acquisition of the Property
described herein, and to prepare and file such pleadings,
documents, and otherwise prosecute such actions as may be
necessary in the opinion of such attorneys to acquire for the
City the Property. Such attorneys are specifically authorized to
take whatever steps and /or procedures are available to them under
the Eminent Domain Law of the State of California, including, but
not limited to, seeking orders for prejudgment possession of the
property. The City Attorney is authorized to assign any work in
such action to other attorneys as the City Attorney may deem
appropriate.
