Section 1. Findings.
A. The Murrieta Creek Bridge and Overland Drive Extension to Diaz Road
Project — Project Number PW00-26 ("Proposed Project") is identified in the City's
Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2012-2016. The Proposed Project
would extend Overland Drive from Commerce Center Drive to Diaz Road with a bridge
over Murrieta Creek. The purpose of the Proposed Project is to improve safety and
traffic circulation in the area.
B. The construction of the Proposed Project would require the acquisition of
certain real property interests from six parcels. The Proposed Project would require the
acquisition of an approximate 404 square foot permanent easement for public street
purposes and an approximate 2,507 square foot temporary construction easement with
a term of 18 (eighteen) months on the real property commonly known as 27512
Enterprise Circle West, Temecula, and identified as Riverside County Assessor's Parcel
Number 921-480-019. The approximate 404 square foot permanent easement for
public street purposes and the approximate 2,507 square foot temporary construction
easement are referred to below as the "Subject Property Interests".
C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2, on March 22, 2011, the
City Council set just compensation for the Subject Property Interests at their fair market
value as determined by the City's independent appraiser based on a February 7, 2011
date of value. The City Council also authorized the Director of Public Works/City
Engineer to make offers and negotiate the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.
D. On May 11, 2011 the City extended a written offer to Scott Travers, the
record owner of the Subject Property Interests, offering to purchase the Subject
Property Interests for the fair market value of $9,013.00. The property owner accepted
the City's offer.

Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 75 for the temporary low flow
crossing at Murrieta Creek and the proposed permanent crossing of Murrieta Creek,

which is the Proposed Project. The City Council found that based on the record before
it (1) the Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 75 was prepared in
compliance with California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"); (2) there is no
substantial evidence that the Proposed Project will have a significant effect on the
environment that cannot be adequately and feasibly mitigated; and (3) the Negative
Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 75 reflects the independent judgment
and analysis of the City Council. The City duly filed the Notice of Determination in
accordance with CEQA.

Proposed Project and does not commit the City to acquire any other real property
interests for the Proposed Project.

escrow instructions, certificates, estoppel letters, and other similar agreements and
documents as contemplated by or described in the Agreement or as necessary and

Section 4. Environmental Analvsis. The environmental effects of the
acquisition of the Subject Property Interests were studied as an integral part of the
Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 75 approved for the Proposed
Project. The findings made by the City Council at its meeting on February 27, 2001 in
approving the Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 75 are the
appropriate findings for the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests. In connection
with the attached Agreement, City staff reviewed all of the environmental documentation
prepared in connection with the Proposed Project, including, but not limited to, the
Negative Declaration, the initial environmental study, the mitigation monitoring program
and agenda report relating to the approval of the Negative Declaration. Pursuant to the
criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public

Proposed Project and that the City has obtained no new information of substantial
