BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION In 2005, the former Orange Redevelopment Agency (RDA) acquired surplus Caltrans property that had become landlocked as a result of the I -5 freeway widening. With the elimination of the RDA, the City acquired this landlocked real property parcel in March 2016 from the Successor Agency. The parcel is approximately 2.58 acres (112,384 square feet). The City's Public Works Department wishes to retain a 100' x 150' (15,000 square feet) portion of the subject property for a future water well site. Thus, the remaining 97,384 square feet would be available for sale. As the property is landlocked, the most likely buyer for the parcel would be one of the four adjoining property owners - CalTrans, Panther Village (Chapman University), Park Royale Mobile Home Park, and Archstone Gateway Apartments (Irvine Company) - to develop as a joiner to their existing parcel and project. Upon the adoption of Resolution No. 10980, staff will initiate the process of offering the property to other agencies and non - profit groups as required by Section 54220 et seq. Upon their decline or interest to purchase the property or expiration of the offer to purchase the property (60 days minimum), staff will engage the services of a real property appraiser to determine the fair market value. Should one of the agencies or non - profit groups be interested in purchasing the property, the City real property agent will enter into negotiations for sale of the property. If no agency or non - profit group is interested in purchasing the property, staff will offer the property to the four adjoining property owners. If one of the four adjoining property owners is interested in purchasing the property, the City real property agent will enter into negotiations for sale of the property. Should more than one of the four adjoining property owners be interested in the property, the City real property agent will prepare a bid package and entertain bids for the property. Any sale of the property negotiated by the City real property agent will be subject to City Council approval prior to entering escrow. 18.
