For any real property owned in fee simple by the District, the Board will consider and determine by resolution whether the property is no longer necessary for District purposes. The District may for a valuable consideration sell or lease the property upon terms that appear to the Board to be in the best interest of the District. The manner of sale or lease shall be approved by the Board, subject to the procedures set forth in Government Code Section 54220 et seq., if applicable. The General Manager may dispose of real property not owned in fee simple if it is no longer necessary for District purposes and is valued at less than $10,000.00.
(Res. No. 2020-02, adopted 5/20/20)
Prior to the sale of any real property, the planning agency having jurisdiction over the property (the City of Encinitas) shall be notified pursuant to Government Code Section 65402 of the intent of the District to dispose of the real property. Failure of the planning agency to report within 40 days after the matter has been submitted shall be conclusively deemed a finding that the proposed sale is in conformity with the adopted general plan. If the planning agency disapproves the sale, the disapproval may be overruled by the Board.
