ITEM 1 (1002-01 R)
RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY TO ACQUIRE
2.06 ACRES ON MONTE VISTA ROAD
Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff
report by City Attorney Eckis. The original report erroneously referred to the designation
and suitability of this site as senior housing. The site has not been designated as a senior
housing site and is as suitable for affordable family housing as it is for affordable senior
housing. The subject property was chosen in 1991 by the City Council as a prime site for
affordable housing and was assigned the affordable housing overlay. The owner has
expressed a desire and obtained a CUP to build an AIzheimer's facility on the property
instead of affordable housing. Public interest and necessity require that this site be
acquired to assure that it will be developed for affordable housing. It is recommended that
the Agency take public input, add to the agenda a Closed Session under Government
Code section 54954.2, discuss in closed session whether or not to initiate litigation under
Government Code section 54956.9(c) and direct the real property negotiators, James
Bowersox for the City and Mr. Harrington for the property owner to continue further
negotiation on the site under Govemment Code section 54956.8. The Agency should then
adopt the Negative Declaration and Resolution of Necessity and direct the City
Attorney/General Counsel to initiate the necessary legal proceedings to acquire the
property.
The following person was present wishing to speak:
Marv Levenson, Administrator of Pomerado Hospital, 15615 Pomerado Road,
expressed the Hospital's desire to obtain the site for their use, and concerns with
the need for an easement for a second ingress/egress on the site.
CLOSED SESSION
Mayor Cafagna adjourned to closed session at 7:20 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Cafagna called the meeting back to order at 7:40 p.m. with all members present.
City Attorney Eckis reported that the Council had instructed him with respect to
