RE: Notice of Availability/Offer to Sell Surplus Property Pursuant to the Surplus Land
Act (California Government Code Sections 54220-54234)
As required by Government Code Section 54220, the City of Palm Desert is providing
notification that the City intends to sell the surplus properties at Fred Waring Drive with APNs
627-101-068, 627-101-033, 627-101-002, 627-101-067, and 627-101-017 in the City of Palm
Desert and described in the accompanying table.
In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, you have sixty (60) days from the date
this offer was sent via certified mail or electronic mail to notify the City, in writing, of your
interest in acquiring the property. However, this offer shall not obligate the City to sell the
property to you. Instead, the City will enter into at least ninety (90) days of good faith
negotiations with you and other interested entities pursuant to Government Code Section
54223. If no agreement is reached on sales price and terms the City may market the property
to the general public.
As required by Government Code Section 54227, if the City receives more than one letter of
interest during this 60-day period, it will give first priority to entities proposing to develop
housing where at least 25 percent of the units will be affordable to lower income households.
If more than one such proposal is received, priority will be given to the proposal with the
greatest number of affordable units. If more than one proposal specifies the same number of
affordable units, priority will be given to the proposal that has the lowest average affordability
level.
In the event your agency or company is interested in purchasing the property, you must notify
the City in writing within sixty (60) days of the date this notice was sent via certified mail or
electronic mail. If you are no longer interested in the properties, we kindly request that you
inform us within the sixty (60) day period. Notice of your interest in acquiring the property
shall be delivered to Mariela Salazar, Management Analyst, at 73-510 Fred Waring Drive,
Palm Desert, CA 92260. You may also direct your questions to msalazar@palmdesert.gov.
The NOA and answers to questions from potential respondents will be posted in the “Surplus
Land” section at EngagePalmDesert.com. It is recommended that you check the website for
periodic updates.
Entities proposing to submit a letter of interest are advised to review the requirements set
forth in the Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220-54234).
