BACKGROUND
On December 12, 1990, the City Council approved, ln concept, the
sale of a parcel of City-owned real property at the northwest
corner of Olyrnp1c Boulevard and 21st Street to the adJacent
property owner, Sam Tsunoda. The parcel to be sold is depicted by
shading in the attached map. The Council IS conceptual approval of

APR 2 5 1995
~
1. city staff evaluated the property and found no current
or potential future City use for the parcel;
2. Most of the parcel was originally a part of the adjoining
property;
3. The frontage road is no longer needed;
4. If the property were sold to others, Tsunoda would not
have access to a public street; and
5. The parcel is not usable for either park or school
purposes.
The council's approval included, as a condition of sale, that
Tsunoda perform certain improvements to the property and
surrounding property. (See Exhibit B, attached. )
The former frontage road which includes the subject parcel was
purchased in fee by the state of california and was turned over to
the C1ty when Olympic Boulevard was relinquished to the City for
city street use on March 28, 1966.
In 1987, the Clty vacated and sold the portion of the former
frontage road which lies immediately west of this parcel to the
nelghboring owner. In the past that owner has opposed the present
vacat10n and sale on the ground that lt would impede vehicles using
hlS business. However, the Engineering Department has addressed
this issue by designing the required improvements to the parcel so
that entering vehicles will have a large turning radius on the west
s1de of the property.
The parcel was appraised by the City's appraiser at a fair market
value of $135,000.00. Tsunoda has agreed to purchase the parcel
for $160,000.00, a price higher than the appraised value.
The state of California confirmed 1n wr1tlng on March 3, 1995 that
it has no objection to the proposed vacation and sale.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The sale would result in $160,000.00 in revenue for the city. The
account for deposit would be Gas Tax Fund account number 43-500-
401-00000-0180-10000.
RECOMMENDATION
Clty Staff recommends that the city council adopt the two attached
Resolutions, (1) a Resolut1on Waiving Advertising Requirements and
Authorizing the Sale of the property, and (2 ) a Resolution of
Intent to Vacate the portion of excess right-af-way at the
northwest corner of Olympic Boulevard and 21st Street to facilitate
the sale of the parcel to Tsunoda.
