SUMMARY
The subject parcel is a 1.14 acre residential property located at 89 First Avenue and is currently identified as San Diego County Assessor's Parcel No. 566-131-16. It is situated on the northerly prolongation of First Avenue north of D Street. This property and the vacant properties north of it have been the source of many issues in recent years and have proven very hard to develop. In recognition of the development and nuisance issues that surround these parcels, staff has long considered purchasing these parcels so they can be maintained in their natural state and be incorporated into the future City Park to the north. The property is not currently on the market, but was offered for sale to the City during discussions of the issues detailed below.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed property acquisition for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility that the activity may have significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) of the state CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Although environmental review is not necessary at this time, additional environmental review will be required as applicable prior to the approval of any future project specific development entitlements.
