STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This item furthers City Council’s strategic outcome of Unique and Creative by facilitating the development of property as planned.

 

REPORT:

The City of Yuma (City) owns a thirty-foot strip of ROW at the 7th Street alignment between 21st Avenue and 24th Avenue (7th Street ROW).  The 7th Street ROW is unpaved and is not used for vehicular traffic but contains a 42” storm sewer line owned by the City.  The footprint of the 7th Street ROW is approximately 20,928 square feet.

Cafe Main Street Properties LLC (Cafe Main Street) is a California limited liability company and owns the parcel immediately south of the 7th Street ROW, APN 632-61-361.

Cafe Main Street is developing a company housing project called Calle Ocho Norte on APN 632-61-361 and wants to acquire an easement within the 7th Street ROW to meet the minimum setback requirements and avoid the ROW from becoming a trash collection site between Calle Ocho Norte to the south and the Pecan Grove Elementary School to the north. 

The proposed easement preserves City access to the storm sewer line and prohibits construction, the operation of heavy equipment, and the planting of trees and shrubs within the footprint of the easement, but does allow parking on the easement.
