SURPLUS LAND PURSUANT TO THE SURPLUS LAND ACT,
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 54220, ET SEQ.;
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Housing Authority ("Authority") is a California housing authority
duly organized and existing under the California Housing Authorities Law, Part 2 of Division 24,
Section 34200, et seq., of the Health and Safety Code ("HAL"), and has been authorized to transact
business and exercise the power of a California housing authority pursuant to action of the City Council
("City Council") of the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim is a California charter city and municipal corporation
("City"); and
WHEREAS, the Authority also serves as the housing successor to the former and dissolved
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Division 24, Part 1.85, of the California Health and
Safety Code, Section 34170, et seq. ("Dissolution Law"); and
WHEREAS, together, the HAL, Dissolution Law, and applicable related statutes of the
California Health and Safety Code are referred to as the "HSC"; and
WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, codified in California Government Code sections 54220,
et seq. ("SLA"), defines "surplus land" as land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the
local agency's governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land
is surplus and is not necessary for the agency's use; and
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2020, Assembly Bill (AB) 1486, and most recently amended
by Senate Bill (SB) 747 and Assembly Bill (AB) 480, effective January 1, 2024, amended the SLA to
require the Authority to formally declare properties as "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land" prior
to taking action to dispose of such properties; and
WHEREAS, a declaration of "exempt surplus land," as permitted by the SLA, is a process
adopted in State law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B) of the SLA,
"exempt surplus land" includes, "Surplus land that is less than one-half acre in area and is not
contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open -space or low- and moderate -
income housing purposes;" and
WHEREAS, the Authority owns in fee simple certain parcels of real property located at the
common addresses of 703 and 705 South Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim, California, which together
comprise approximately 0.31 acres (together, the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, this declaration of "exempt surplus land" does not obligate the Authority to
subsequently dispose of the Property and the Authority may in the future determine that the Property
is necessary for its use and not move forward with any disposition of any specific property.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE ANAHEIM HOUSING
AUTHORITY FINDS AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Authority hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true
and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution.
Section 2. The Governing Board hereby declares the Property to be "exempt surplus land"
pursuant to Government Code section 5422 1 (f)(1)(B), which applies to "surplus land that is less than
one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for
open -space or low- and moderate -income housing purposes," because the Property is only .31 acres
and is not contiguous to land owned by any governmental entity for open -space or affordable housing
purposes.
Section 3. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.), including the
CEQA Guidelines (together, "CEQX ). The declaration of the Property as "exempt surplus land" does
not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and no further review or
action under CEQA is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) (not a project as
defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378), Section 15312 (the sale of surplus government property),
and Section 15061(b)(3) (no possibility that the action will have a significant effect on the
environment).
