File Number: 25-175 In 2007, the City Council by Ordinance No. 2007-002, established right-of-way lines for Eden Road from Doolittle Drive to Davis Street. The establishment of the right-of-way lines for Eden Road would provide an alignment for a new outlet on Davis Street at Business Center Drive. In 2012, the City of San Leandro Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was dissolved along with other statewide redevelopment agencies. The dissolution of the San Leandro RDA eliminated funding that would offset costs associated with the paving of Eden Road. In an effort to facilitate the construction of Eden Road, as codified in the City of San Leandro 2035 General Plan and to deem the road in compliance with relevant statutory and regulatory public road and street standards, the City started negotiations with the adjacent property owner, KK Eden Properties LLC, and their tenant, Alco Iron & Metal, to construct the improvements. In 2024 by Resolution No. 2024-022, the City, KK Eden Properties LLC, and Alco Iron & Metal entered into a Memorandum of Understanding titled “Eden Road Public Improvement Agreement (MOU).” The project, as defined in the MOU, is for the design, permitting, and construction of Eden Road improvements between Doolittle Drive and the western terminus. In exchange for Alco Iron & Metal constructing the roadway improvements, the City will vacate and sell Eden Road to KK Eden Properties LLC at a negotiated price of $1.00. In turn, KK Eden Properties LLC will sell and convey to the City a public utility easement, ingress-egress easement, and emergency vehicle access easement in perpetuity across the entire length of Eden Road to be vacated. While the MOU is a consensus of the negotiations between the City, KK Eden Properties LLC, and Alco Iron & Metal to facilitate the project improvements, the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions outlines in detail the terms and conditions of the sale and transfer of Eden Road. Analysis The Surplus Land Act, Government Code §§54220-54233, requires the City to take formal action to declare the land either as surplus land or exempt surplus land. The portion of Eden Road to be vacated is owned in fee by the City and not necessary for the City’s use. Therefore, the street vacation of Eden Road can be declared exempt surplus land per Government Code §54221(f)(1) (E) and can be conveyed to the adjacent property owner. The City of San Leandro Municipal Code Title 5, Chapter 5-4, Street and Easement Abandonment, outlines the procedures for vacation of streets and easements. To proceed under the provisions of this Chapter of the Municipal Code, a Resolution of Intention must be adopted to order any vacation, and a public hearing must be set to hear evidence offered by any person interested.
