File Number: 17-125 <br />in 1968 to acquire properties for development for public parking purposes. Pursuant to <br />Section IV.6 of the 1969 Agreement, owners of properties within Plaza Assessment District <br />No. 1 were granted a non-exclusive easement for the use of the Property and portions of <br />streets for a period of 50 years for parking and circulation. <br />Currently, the owners of properties within Plaza Assessment District No. 1 are Regency <br />Centers, Safeway, and the City’s Parking Authority, which owns the Plaza Shopping Center <br />Parking Lot (APN 075-0226-010-00). Although the easement is still in effect, the Assessment <br />District has no other remaining substantive impact and no assessments are charged to <br />properties within the District. <br />Analysis <br />In order to proceed with redevelopment of the former CVS building and associated public <br />parking lot, Sansome Pacific Properties requests that the easements for Plaza Assessment <br />District No. 1 property owners for use of the parking lot be removed or cleared from the <br />Property’s title. On September 6, 2016, the City Council, acting as the Board of Directors of <br />the Parking Authority of San Leandro, approved a Quitclaim Deed removing the Parking <br />Authority’s easement on the parking lot, and the City Council accepted the removal of such <br />easement. <br />At this time, the two remaining owners of property within the Plaza Assessment District No. 1 - <br />Regency Centers, L.P. and Safeway Inc. - have also approved removal of their easements on <br />the parking lot. Neither entity was making use of this parking lot and both have agreed to this <br />action in order to facilitate the planned development project. They have approved Quitclaim <br />Deeds, which will quitclaim, release and convey to the City of San Leandro any and all right, <br />title or interest in and to the public parking lot at the northeast corner of East 14th Street and <br />Callan Ave. (APN 077-0447-007-01). <br />Therefore, staff requests that: <br />1) The City Council accept the transfer of the easement and interest in real property <br />conveyed by the Quitclaim Deed dated September 23, 2016 from Regency Centers, <br />L.P. to the City of San Leandro and authorize the City Manager to sign the certificate of <br />acceptance. <br />2) The City Council accept the transfer of the easement and interest in real property <br />conveyed by the Quitclaim Deed dated February 7, 2017 from Safeway, Inc. to the City <br />of San Leandro and authorize the City Manager to sign the certificate of acceptance. <br />If this occurs, all easements of the Plaza Assessment District No. 1 will be removed from the <br />public parking lot and the City of San Leandro will unify its ownership interests in the property, <br />which will ensure a smooth transfer of the properties to the developer, in accordance with the <br />February 2016 Purchase and Sale Agreement. <br />Previous Actions <br />·On February 16, 2016, the City Council approved a Purchase and Sale Agreement with <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/13/2017 <br />96
