CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution approving a Grant of Perpetual, Nonexclusive Easement for
Landscaping and Utilities to Waterman BP, LLC on city owned property
located in the general vicinity of Waterman Avenue and Steele Street,
San Bernardino, CA (APN 0141-342-04-0000).
Backqround:
Waterman BP, LLC is proposing a 10-acre industrial project on 22 parcels
located in the general Nicinity of Waterman Avenue and Steele Street.
The City of San Bernardino owns a small, 400-square foot parcel that is
completely surrounded by the proposed development. The parcel (APN
0141-342-04-0000) was deeded to the City in 1962 for Water Department
use and has never been used by the Department for any purpose. Waterman
BP, LLC contacted the Department, requesting a perpetual, non-exclusive
easement for "installation, maintenance and use of landscaping and
utilities." Waterman BP, LLC intends to integrate the parcel into their
project's landscaping, providing a more visually appealing project.
Waterman BP, LLC will landscape and maintain the landscaping at no cost
to the City. Recent comparables obtained by Waterman BP, LLC reflect a
sale price for fee at $6 per square foot for developable land. Even
assuming that we could develop this small remainder parcel, and assuming
that the price to purchase the property was $6 per square foot, the
price of the easement is a small fraction of that. The obligation to
landscape and maintain the landscaping has substantially more value.
For that reason, it is recommended that the consideration for the
easement be fixed at a nominal $1.
Financial rmpact:
None
