6.1.B. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager June 13, 2016 SUBJECT Public Access Easement Deed granted by FSDW-Redwood City, LLC for the property at 2808 El Camino Real RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the Public Access Easement, and authorize the City Manager to, upon receipt of a signed Deed, accept the Public Access Easement Deed granted by FSDW-Redwood City, LLC for the property at 2808 El Camino Real, execute the Certificate of Acceptance for such Deed, and modify the content of the Easement Deed as necessary to receive signed Deed BACKGROUND On May 21, 2013 the Planning Commission approved the Architectural Permit and Use Permit for the Kensington Assisted Living Facility Project at 2808 El Camino Real under Resolution No. 13-10. The project includes the construction of a new 36,000 square foot, two-story, 45-unit assisted care facility, and new right-of-way improvements along Oakwood Blvd and El Camino Real. A condition of approval for the project requires a dedication for use of the sidewalk on El Camino Real along the entire property frontage. ANALYSIS The improvement plans were reviewed and approved for the development, and the easement area is based on the full sidewalk area along El Camino Real that is not currently in the right-of-way. Accepting the dedication of the Public Access Easement will allow pedestrians the use of the sidewalk area for as long as the City chooses to hold the easement area. The easement deed presented for approval limits its purposes to the use for the right of ingress and egress for public purposes. This will meet the City's current needs for the use of the sidewalk and ensure that the area remains free of structures. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to accept the sidewalk dedication, which would limit the future design of the right-of-way improvements. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action.
