Direction to Auction 8130 East Redberry (10 acres)
Council provided direction to staff to proceed with an online auction through EZ Buy for the 10-acre city-owned parcel at 8130 East Redberry, purchased in 2003 for $630,000 and appraised at $1,550,000. Property is zoned RS-35 and was originally acquired for a park site no longer needed. Development would require half-street improvements on Redberry and septic systems allowed due to lack of sewer infrastructure in the area.
- Septic systems permitted with redundancy requirements; dry sewer line stub-out required for future connection; must comply with 2015 general plan and Desert Uplands requirements
