BACKGROUND
The developer for the property at 7474 Garden Grove Boulevard has submitted a project to construct a new 69,900 square foot building. Since 1968, the site has been used as a manufacturing plant for heat-treating and storage of aluminum aerospace parts by Bodycote Thermal Processing and its predecessor, Alum-a-Therm.
The proposed project will replace this outdated facility with a new state-of-the-art industrial building that can accommodate a wide range of uses. The existing public water easement runs across the property and does not allow the development of the new building. A quitclaim of a portion of the water easement, together with an acceptance of a new water easement, is required to reroute the water line to accommodate the construction of the new building. The Water Division has reviewed and approved the proposed water easement and the rerouting of the new water line.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed as to form.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council accept the subject documents and authorize the City Manager to sign and record the deed with the County Recorder’s Office.
