INTRODUCTION

The Yorba Linda Town Center Retail Project (Project) is a proposed private retail shopping center

situated within the Town Center Commercial District subarea of the Yorba Linda Town Center

Specific Plan. Over the last two years, the City of Yorba Linda (City) has been working diligently

with the retail center project applicant, Zelman Retail Partners, Inc., to bring forward a high quality

retail/restaurant/entertainment lifestyle shopping center that is intended to serve as the

foundation for overall revitalization of the downtown.

On October 20, 2015, the City of Yorba Linda City Council considered the Project and the

Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), and voted unanimously to adopt the resolutions

of approval certifying the SEIR and approving all applicable entitlements. However, construction of

the proposed Project would require the removal of two (2) residences designated with California

Historic Resource Status Code 5S3.

As such, the City is seeking offers from firms, organizations, or individuals that have interest in acquiring a craftsman bungalow, currently located within the Yorba Linda Town Center. The home must be relocated to a property or location that is identified by the bidder. Receiver sites may be located either in the community or anywhere outside of the city boundaries. Bidders will be responsible for all costs associated with the relocation of the structure and will need to demonstrate either ownership or permission to locate the cottage onto a receiver site. Interested parties will have approximately 45 days from release of notice in which persons may contact the City for additional information and submit a formal offer. The deadline for submitting an offer is 12: 00 p.m. on Thursday, December 31, 2015.


DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Location

The Town Center Development Project area is located just northeast of the Yorba Linda Boulevard and Imperial Highway intersection and is bordered by Lakeview Avenue to the east, Main Street and School Street to the west, Lemon Drive to the north and Yorba Linda Boulevard and Imperial Highway to the south and southwest. (See Exhibit A)

The two (2) residences, addressed as 4852 and 4871 School Street, are located within the Town Center project boundaries.

Overview

The construction of the Project requires the removal of the two (2) residences located within the Project area. These residences were surveyed as part of a 2009 Citywide Historic Property Survey and were designated with a “5S3” California Historical Resources Status Code (“status code”), meaning that they are eligible for local historic listing, and for the purposes of CEQA are considered “historical resources” (§15064.5).

Since retention of the cottages is not feasible for implementation and development of the Proposed Project, they will first be recorded prior to either relocation or demolition.

Pursuant to Mitigation Measure 2 (M5.2-3) of the adopted SEIR, the City intends to solicit proposals from the public for relocation of the subject residences for a period of 45 days.. The City will make every effort to ensure widespread public notification of the process. If after 45 days it is evident that no party is interested in purchasing one or all of the building(s) then the City would be required to salvage the key character-defining physical features of the residences.

Relocation Conditions

A proposal for relocation shall be undertaken in accordance with a Relocation and Rehabilitation plan prepared by the party taking possession of the structure to be moved. The Relocation and Rehabilitation Plan shall be developed in conjunction with a qualified architectural historian, historic architect, or historic preservation professional who satisfies the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for History, Architectural History, or Architecture, pursuant to 36 CFR 61.

Upon relocation of the structure to the new site, any maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, preservation, conservation, or reconstruction work performed in conjunction with the relocation the building shall be undertaken in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Properties. In addition, a plaque describing the date of the move and the original location shall be placed in a visible location on each of the buildings.
