Disposition of Certain Housing Parcels

FROM:
Tami E. Scott, Administrative Services Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council, acting as the Housing Successor Agency, authorize the sale of four vacant housing parcels in the amount of $80,000.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City, in its capacity as the Housing Successor to the former Cathedral City Redevelopment Agency ("HS"), has received an unsolicited offer to purchase four of the vacant lots owned by the Housing Successor from Mario Perez, Inc. or assignee as to approximately 1.8 along the north side of Mission Drive with APN's of 677-382-005 through 008 in the amount of $80,000.
DISCUSSION:
The combined offer price for the four R1 zoned parcels is $80,000, which, given the development impediments: to include the shape of the parcels, location and outstanding assessments of $63,973, equates to reasonable fair market value. The parcels range in size from .36 to .37 acres with a total of 1.8 acres. These parcels would be assembled into one parcel and then re-subdivided into 6 parcels with a cul-de-sac. Upon sale, the assessments would no longer be the responsibility of the Housing Successor. The Housing Successor's carrying costs for these parcels is $78,015 plus the annual assessments. As such, staff recommends Council to direct staff to accept this offer, sales proceeds would be deposited into the Housing fund and the fund would be made whole. The proceeds, less 50% of escrow fees, title costs and commission, could then be used for maintenance and assessment costs associated with our remaining housing land inventory. The referenced property is not property previously dedicated for public purpose by map or deed; it is not surplus property and it is not required to be disposed via a Department of Finance approved Long Range Property Management plan.
