Description/Analysis

IssueDetail

Issue Detail: The City of Sacramento, Department Utilities (DOU) has determined that additional storm drainage capacity is required in the neighborhood located near Center Parkway and Florin Creek, also identified as Basin 67.  A large portion of the property located at 7595 Center Parkway, identified as Assessor parcel numbers 050-0020-018-0000 and 050-0020-019-0000 (the “Property”) is currently unimproved and is of sufficient size for the construction of a storm water detention basin.  The Property is owned by St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Sacramento (Property Owner) and they were willing to negotiate with the City for the acquisition of the Property.  The Property was appraised by Pattison and Associates for $350,000, and subsequent negotiations with the Property Owner resulted in an agreed upon purchase price of $356,000.

EnvironmentalConsiderations

Environmental Considerations:

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), approval of the proposed purchase agreement for the subject property is exempt from the CEQA, under the common-sense exemption that CEQA only applies to actions with potential to significantly affect the environment.  Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on an environmental resource, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Approval of the purchase agreements will not affect the environment. Work that may be completed following approval of the purchase agreements, including the development of a detention basin has been determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 (New Construction). The work consists of the construction and location of new small facilities.
