A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DOWNEY FINDING THE DISPOSAL OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT
9340 STEWART & GRAY ROAD (AIN 6284-024-905) IS CONSISTENT WITH
THE CITY'S ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey does hereby find,
determine and declare that:
A The property located at 9340 Stewart & Gray Road (AIN 6284-024-905) was
acquired by the City of Downey to prepare for an expansion and consolidation
project for the Public Works Yard; and,
B. The City of Downey no longer seeks to pursue the Public Works expansion
project; and,
D. The City of Downey desires to enter into a Purchase and Sale agreement to
dispose of the surplus property; and,
C. Prior to the City selling the land, California Government Code Section 65402(a)
requires the Planning Commission adopt a finding that the disposal of said
property is consistent with the General Plan; and,
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares the
environmental impact of the proposed development has been reviewed and has been found to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt from
CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15312 (Class 12, Surplus Government Property Sales).
SECTION 3. The Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that the
sale of the parcel located at 9340 Stewart & Gray Road is consistent with the City of Downey's
adopted General Plan (Vision 2025). The subject site has a General Plan Land Use
Designation of General Manufacturing. According to the General Plan, the intent of the General
Manufacturing designation is intended for manufacturing, wholesaling, and other industrial land
uses. The General Plan further notes that it is appropriate for the General Manufacturing
designation to be located in areas separated from other land uses by a major natural or physical
barrier and screen. Through the disposition of the property, the site will continue to be available
for private business activity and retain the mixture of land uses throughout the City by
preserving a General Manufacturing designated property. Additionally, the sale of the subject
site would be consistent with Goal 9.3 of the General Plan, which states the City should "Ensure
the continued fiscal balance of the community." The disposition of an excess property will
generate revenue for the City and relieve the City from liabilities and burdens that accompany
property management. For this reason, the sale of the property located at 9340 Stewart & Gray
Road is consistent with the General Plan.
