PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54221 DECLARING
THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY (LOCATED ON THE SOUTH WEST
CORNER OF NORTH CHURCH STREET AND EAST STATE STREET IN
REDLANDS, CA; APN: 0171-089-13-0000) IS SURPLUS LAND, AND
FINDING THAT SUCH DECLARATION IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Redlands (the "City") acquired property located located on the
South West corner of North Church Street and East State Street in Redlands, CA; APN 0169-321-
03-0000, as more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the City is the fee simple owner of that Property; and
WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 of seq. (the "Act")
applies when a local agency disposes of"surplus land," which is defined in the Act 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." (Government Code section 54221(b)(1)); and
WHEREAS, under the Act, "local agency" means "every city, whether organized under
general law or by charter, county, city and county, district, including school, sewer, water, utility,
and local and regional park districts of any kind or class, joint powers authority, successor agency
to a former redevelopment agency, housing authority, or other political subdivision of this state
and any instrumentality thereof that is empowered to acquire and hold real property." (Government
Code section 54221(a)(1)); and
WHEREAS, the Act requires local agencies such as the City to declare certain real property
they own as either "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land," as supported by written findings, prior
to any disposition of the real property; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed this Resolution and now desires to declare the
Property as surplus land under the Act, based on the findings and justifications contained in this
Resolution; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this
Resolution and findings of the City Council.
SECTION 2: The City Council hereby declares that the Property is no longer necessary
for the City's use, and is therefore declared surplus pursuant to Government Code Section 54220
et. Seq. and based upon the following findings:
Finding: The land is surplus and is not necessary for the City's use.
C\ResolutionARes 8700-8799\8728-Environmental Quality Act.doex-jl
Evidence: The property was purchased for potential expansion of water facilities. The
property is no longer required for future expansion.
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.) ("CEQA").
City staff has determined that the mere designation of the Property as surplus does not have the
potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further
review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because it is not a
project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution, in and of
itself, does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment
or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Nothing in this Resolution
commits the City to a particular course of action with respect to the proposed transfer of exempt
surplus property.
SECTION 4: The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized and directed to send a
copy of this Resolution to the California Department of Housing and Community Development in
accordance with the requirements of Section 400(e) of the SLA Guidelines.
SECTION 5: If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise
invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.
SECTION 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Redlands at a
regular meeting held on the 21 st day of October, 2025, by the following roll call vote:
