Item 28 Report from Development Services Recommendation to adopt a resolution declaring the Long Beach Community Investment Company owned property located at 4151 East Fountain Street as exempt surplus land District three. Mr. Mayor, can I motion for that? Unfortunately, I have one device that's out of battery, so I can't text you on the Q. Yes, there is. Can I get a second, please? I get. Councilman Superman's raising his hand. Okay, great. Okay. Councilman Supernatural is the second. Is there anything that stat needs to add to this? Yes. I would like staff to just briefly talk about the limitations of the use of this particular parcel. And I realize that we're going to be we're only voting tonight to declare surplus land. But assuming that declaration happens this evening, if staff can talk about the limitations of the use of this particular plot of land. Thank you, Councilmember. This is Oscar Orsi. Just wanted to let you know that the city acquired this property with housing successor funds. I see that. That those funds are earmarked for the development of affordable housing. We have other programs and other funds that that fund other things like shelters and other types of programs. But the color of the money for these funds to acquire this property was made with a strict understanding that we would recycle the property and develop affordable housing. As you indicated, Councilmember, this allows us to exempt us from the Surplus Land Act and allows us to offer that property to those that are interested in developing the site for affordable housing purposes only. Okay. And I realize we're not voting on any particular projects tonight or anything like that. But I assume, just as we would with any development project, there will be an opportunity for community outreach and discussions before any proposals are accepted. That is correct. Councilmember We will follow our customer process at offering this property to those companies and groups that are interested and again, developing the site for affordable housing. And will this be by way of an RFP process once it's once it's ready for that that next phase? Yes. We typically offer the property for those that are interested. Megan Sorenson can provide you greater details. Okay. I think I'm good. Thank you. Thank you. Is your concern, reassurance that you have anything or. No, I'm fine. I just stand in support. Okay, great. There is a motion and a second then any public comment on this? If any members of the public would like to speak on this item, please use the raise hand feature or press star nine. Dave Shuker. Your time again, sir. Good evening. Thank you. I support this motion as well to thank council members who brought it forward, as well as the questions that were asked just now. Clearly, we heard earlier this evening that we need more affordable housing construction as well as siting. And I look forward to hearing how not only the RFP will roll out, but what the possibilities space for. This potential project would be in terms of a Title 22 and some of our green building codes. More generally, the issue of where and how to site land. For what purposes? Especially if it's land that has to be remediated. If it's land that's polluted. That's something that the city needs to get ahead of. Thank you. Thank you for that comment, Madam Carper. That concludes public comment. Okay. Thank you. Well, then we will go ahead and take a vote on this. Real copies. District one. District two. All right. District three. I. District four. All right. District five. District six II District seven. By District eight. By District nine. Yes. Motion is carried.
