Title

Lower Mission Creek Flood Control

Description

Approve, adopt, and authorize a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition of the fee interest in the real property for Reach 2B-Phase II and Reach 3 - the Lower Mission Creek project. The Lower Mission Creek Flood Control project is a federal U.S. Army Corps of Engineer project that has been under the study and development since the 1960's. The Corps completed a feasibility study in 2000. The County and City of Santa Barbara are construction the project in sections (reaches) as funding becomes available. As locally funded project, the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation is responsible for the right of way acquisition associated with the Lower Mission Creek Flood Control project. After environmental review was completed, staff considered acquiring only permanent and temporary easements from the property; however upon review of the entire Mission Creek Project, it has become apparent that the property provides a strategic location that is beneficial for the current and future construction, access, staging, and operation and maintenance of the overall Mission Creek project.
