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, including 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 200 Block East Katella Way (for R/W 5180 -43A) 1844
South Haster Street (for R/W 5180 -43B), (Assessor Parcel No. 137-
321-79). The portions of Property the City seeks to acquire, and
the Property interests sought, consist of the following:
A. Fee simple title to approximately 1,355.4 square
feet for (R /W 5180 -43A) and 8,225.1 square feet
for (R /W 5180 -43B) of frontage along the Property,
as more specifically described in Exhibit "A"
hereto.
B. A temporary construction easement over
approximately 451.9 square feet for (R /W 5180 -43B)
and none for (R /W 5180 -43A) of Property, more
specifically described in Exhibit "C" hereto. The
temporary construction easement shall consist of
the interests described below:
The temporary construction is a nonexclusive
easement which permits City of Anaheim, its
officers, agents, employees, and contractors, to
enter upon, occupy, and pass over the temporary
construction easement area more specifically
described in the legal description, attached as
Exhibit C as deemed reasonably necessary for all
purposes incidental to reconstructing and widening
Katella Avenue in accordance with the approved
street construction (the "Project The
temporary construction easement shall include the
right to perform any necessary excavation;
grading; earth fill; compaction; installation of
concrete forms; landscaping; irrigation; utility;
and sign relocation; accommodation of private
drainage facilities; and deposit of tools,
equipment, and material for all such necessary
-2-
activities which are reasonably incidental to the
work being performed on said property in
connection with the Project.
Such incidental activities shall include, but not
be limited to, adjusting grade differentials
between the planned street and the adjoining real
,property and /or matching existing concrete and /or
asphalt paved areas, and /or natural grade areas,
or such work as may pertain to on -site
improvements by Public Works to render the
temporary construction easement area or the larger
parcel to which it pertains in the same functional
condition as reasonably practicable to the
condition before the Project in terms of access,
irrigation, and relation of public right of way
improvements to the larger parcel.
The temporary construction easement shall not
include the right to store any materials or park
any vehicles which are not incidental to the work
to be performed on site in connection with the
Project, nor to block all vehicular access to the
larger parcel of property of which the temporary
construction easement area is a part. In
connection with the exercise of the temporary
construction easement rights hereunder, City shall
protect all structures on the temporary
construction easement area in place, and shall
protect or restore all improvements thereon.
The rights granted hereunder shall commence
fourteen (14) days after written notification to
the property owner and shall continue in full
force and effect until twelve (12) months after
notice. Upon termination of the temporary
construction easement, the temporary construction
easement area shall be restored to a condition
that is as functionally equivalent as is
practicable to its condition prior to the
commencement of the work.
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
-3-
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.
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
-4-
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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved anU adopted by the City
Council of the City of Anaheim this 16th S -,3 ember _1997.
