[Council Communication]  [Attachments]

Council Communication
Title: Update on Strawberry Lane Property
Dept: Planning Department
Date: January 6, 2004
Submitted By: John McLaughlin, Director of Community Development
Approved By:
...........................		 Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator

Synopsis: On November 4, 2003, the City Council directed staff to begin efforts to partition and sell the Strawberry Lane property, with the proceeds from the sale going to the establishment of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, while also addressing the need to perhaps buy out the CDBG funds in The Grove.

Attached is a map of the Strawberry Lane area, showing the City's property in relation to the recent subdivision activity in the immediate area. There are two options available for the partitioning of the property - one being to partition the lot into three parcels through a minor land partition process (three being the maximum number of lots that can be partitioned at one time) - and the other being to create three lots now, but divide the third lot a year from now, creating a total of four lots for sale. Staff would recommend creating Lots 1 and 2 for sale now, with the combination of Lots 3 and 4 being partitioned in one year and sold after that time.

Staff believes that the four lot partition provides the greatest public benefit, while also creating lots that are compatible with the development pattern of the surrounding neighborhood.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Council direct staff to prepare and submit an application to partition the property on Strawberry Lane into, ultimately, four lots. Two lots would be available for sale after the initial three-lot partitioning, and two additional lots would be available for sale approximately one year later.
Fiscal Impact: The sale of the lots will provide funds for the creation of the Housing Trust Fund, as well as provide funding to buy out the CDBG portion of The Grove.
Background: Maps of the property are attached, as well as the previous council communication regarding the potential sale of the property.
