RESOLUTION NO. 98-11
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
DECLARING THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY OF
ACQUISITION OF PORTIONS OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON
GOLDENWEST STREET IN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
IDENTIFIED AS ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO. 111-120-01
FOR THE PURPOSES OF CONDUCTING
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach is authorized under the provisions of its
charter and under the provisions of Sections 37350.5 and 40404 of the California
Government Code to acquire property by eminent domain for public purposes, and
specifically for street improvements; and
The City of Huntington Beach has been investigating the acquisition of various
interests in property, including a fee interest in certain property on Goldenwest Street,
identified as Assessor Parcel No. 111-120-01.
The "Project" for the purposes of this acquisition consists of the widening and
improving of Goldenwest Street; and
On February 2, 1998, after no less than 15 days written notice to the record owners
of the property referenced above and more specifically described in the legal descriptions
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B", respectively, ("Property") which are incorporated
herein by reference, the City Council of Huntington Beach held a hearing for the purpose of
allowing the record owners of the property a reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard
on the following matters:
(a) Whether the public interest and necessity require the project;
(b) Whether the project is planned or located in a manner which is most
compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury;
(c) Whether the property proposed to be acquired is necessary for the project; and
(d) Whether the offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 had been
given; and
On that same date, the owners of the Property were also given a reasonable
opportunity to appear and be heard on whether the City has met the procedural prerequisites
to the exercise of eminent domain; and
The City Council, as a result of such hearing, has determined that the public health,
safety, and welfare require that the City acquire various interests in the Property more

00, /
particularly described herein ("Property"), for the purposes of widening and improving
Goldenwest Street; and
The Project for which the Property to be acquired is sought has previously been
reviewed under applicable environmental review procedures, including Environmental Impact
Report No. 89-1, approved January 8, 1990; and
. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, HEREBY DOES FIND, DETERMINE, AND
DECLARE BASED UPON EVIDENCE PRESENTED TO IT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The property to be acquired is located within the City of Huntington
Beach, County of Orange, State of California, and is located on Goldenwest Street, and
otherwise identified as Assessor's Parcel No. 111-120-01. The Property the City seeks to
acquire, and the Property interests sought, consist of the following:
A. For the property more specifically described in Exhibit "A" hereto, an
easement more specifically described as follows:
An exclusive, perpetual easement for the purposes of
constructing, placing, maintaining, and operating a public right
of way and/or public utility facilities thereon, including all
rights of surface access and use consistent with the use as a
public right-of-way.
B. For the property more specifically described in Exhibit "B" hereto, a
temporary construction easement more specifically described as follows:
A temporary construction easement for City of
Huntington Beach ("City"), and its officers, agents, employees
and contractors, to enter upon, occupy, and pass over the
temporary construction easement area more specifically
described in the legal description attached hereto, as deemed
reasonably necessary for all purposes incidental to reconstructing
and widening Goldenwest Street ("Project") in accordance with
street improvement plans approved by City for the Project.
Such incidental purposes shall include, but not be limited to,
adjusting grade differentials between the planned street and the
adjoining real property and/or meeting or matching existing
concrete and/or asphalt paved areas, and/or natural grade areas,
constructing sidewalks, or such work as may pertain to on-site
improvements.
This temporary construction easement shall also include
the right to perform any necessary excavation, grading, earth
fill, compaction, installation of concrete forms, utility, fence and
sign relocation, private drainage facilities, all such necessary
1591003821-001713131870.1 a01122/99 -2-
9S-�!
activities which are reasonably incidental to the work being
performed on said property in connection with the Project. The
rights granted hereunder shall commence 2 days after
notification to the property owner and shall continue in full
force and effect until 12 months after notice, but in no event
shall continue past May 1, 1998. Upon termination of this
temporary construction easement, the temporary construction
easement area shall be restored to a condition that is reasonably
equivalent to its condition prior to the commencement of the
work.
This temporary construction easement shall not include
the right to store any materials or park any vehicles which are
not incidental to the work to be performed on site in connection
with the Project, or to block all vehicular access to the larger
parcel of property of which this temporary construction
easement is part. In connection with the exercise of this
temporary construction easement rights hereunder, City shall
protect and preserve all structures on the temporary construction
easement area in place, and shall protect or restore all
improvements thereon to a condition that is reasonably
equivalent to its condition prior to the commencement of the
work.
Section 2. The public interest and necessity require the Project, in that the City's
General Plan, and specifically the Circulation Element, calls for the expansion of Goldenwest
Street in the manner contemplated by the Project. In addition, the Goldenwest Street
widening is designed to relieve traffic congestion and increase the capacity of the street,
which will require continuity in the roadway alignment and traffic handling capacity of the
street.
Section 3. The Project is located in a manner most compatible with the greatest
public good and least private injury, in that the design of the roadway widening must of
necessity occupy land which is immediately adjacent to the existing roadway, in order to
maintain the continuity of the alignment of the road for all users. The Project is designed in
a manner compatible with the greatest public good, in that the Project will involve road
widening which will enhance the utility of the area by improving traffic safety and circulation
for all those travelling on Goldenwest Street. The Project will result in the least private
injury in that, where possible consistent with safe roadway design restrictions, the property
chosen for potential acquisition was done so to minimize the number of property owners
affected, and to avoid impacts to residential properties.
Section 4. The property to be acquired is necessary for the Project, in that the
roadway widening must occur on property immediately adjacent to the existing roadway.

Section 5. The offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made
to the record owners, by way of letter dated December 8, 1997. Staff has attempted to
negotiate with the record owners subsequent to this offer, but such negotiations have not
proved successful in securing the necessary property interests outside of more formal
proceedings.
Section 6. To the extent any of the property to be taken herein is devoted to a
public use, the City finds that the proposed use for the Project is compatible with, or more
necessary to, such public use, and that the City is authorized to acquire the Property pursuant
to Code of Civil Procedure § § 1240.510 and 1240.610.
Section 7. The Project has been reviewed and approved under the California
Environmental Quality Act by way of certification of Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1,
approved January 8, 1990, and the City Council finds and determines that since the time of
that certification there have been no subsequent changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is to be undertaken, no new information of substantial importance
regarding significant effects or mitigation measures or alternative which has become
available, and no subsequent changes have been proposed in the Project which would require
important revisions to the previous environmental impact reports, such that no further
environmental review attending this proposed acquisition is necessary.
Section 8. The City Council hereby declares it is its intent to acquire the full fee
interest in the above-referenced property in the City's name in accordance with the
provisions of the laws of the State of California.
Section 9. The City Attorney in conjunction with the law firm of Rutan & Tucker
is hereby authorized and directed to prepare, institute, and prosecute in the name of the City
such proceedings, in the Court having proper jurisdiction thereof, as may be necessary for
the acquisition of the fee interest to such property. Said counsel are also authorized and
directed to obtain any necessary order of the Court granting the City the right of prejudgment
and immediate possession and occupancy of the property.
