BACKGROUND
•
The Denman Reach Phase 3`projectwill complete the terracing and trail between Corona Road
and the intersection of Industrial Avenue and Petaluma Boulevard North, There are five
properties affected by the construction of Denman Reach Phase 3, three of which are the vacant
parcelslocated on the west side=ofIndustrial Avenue•directlyacross from-the'intersection of
• Benson Way and industrial Avenue. The;project requires the acquisition of two parcels in tee
simple, a temporary constructionand trail easement over the third vacant parcel, and easements
on the remaining two'developed_'parcels.
In the falliof2008, the Citysubmitted two grant applications to the State of California for land
' acquisition and continuation of the flood terrace,.riparian habitat enhancement and trail
improvements;within,the'Denman Reach. The first grant application was to the California
Natural Resources Agency's (NRA) River Parkways Program,for land acquisition Mtheramount
of$1,150,000, which was partially funded at $850;000. The second application was to the
Department of Water Resources' (DWR) Urban Streams Restoration Program for $993,375 for
design and construction, which was fully funded. Acquisition of the first parcel located at 1375
Industrial:Avenue, and-owned by Richards and Gilson was completed in September 2013 for
$673,048. Following Council direction,to pursue additional.land acquisition funds,staff
requested,additional funding which-resulted in NRA augmenting;its grant with an additional
$165,262 bringing,the'NRA land.acquisitioncgrant top$1,015,262. Since-the original completion
of the property appraisals in 2012,•themarket has'improved to the point of warrantinga second

appraisal on;the desired acquisitiomat 1335 Industrial„ownedby Gateway Financial and
Coyne. The:appraisal',has been submittedto,the Stateddnding agency for approval with an
estimate inarket`value for:the"Gateway Financial parcel at$370,000 The.requested
authorization,-through the"SCAPOSD Matching Grant Program, will apply for the remaining
$50;000;needed to•Complete the second acquisition.
DISCUSSION
The'NRA land acquisition grant currently contains approximately$335;000 uncommitted after
the purchase of 1375 Industrial Way. Thelproperty owner of 1335 Industrial has indicated
willingness to sell the;,parcel;at the new appraised value of$370;000. Therefore the additional
grant,finds are neededto augmentthemvailable NRA funds to make the:purchase.
The project has been found to be consistent,with CEQA through the adoption of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration and project,approval on September 10, 2012 (Resolution No. 2012-138
N.C.S.).
Staff recbmnendsthat Council authorizes the submittal of a grant;application to SCAPOSD for
$50,000 to facilitate the land acquisition of 1335 Industrial for the Denman Reach Phase 3
project. •
FINANCIAL.IMPACTS
The land acquisition grant,,provided`by..the State Natural Resources Agency currently contains a
balance of approximately $335;000, nottincluding final accounting of costs of grant
administration. The approval of the SCAPOSD grant of$50,000 would"complete the funding
needed to provide a market-value offer to the property ownermf 1335 Industrial. The proposed
grant will require the City tomxpendfunds and then seek reimbursement. There are sufficient
funds within.the Storm`Dram Impact.Fee account tobe utilized for purchasing the land subject to
reimbursement upon'submittal for the grant payment. Staff will modify the CIP account for both
the increase in funding and increase in land acquisition costs if the grant is approved.
