EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve the attached proposed donation agreement with the owners of the former Mountain View Golf Course for a small portion of the former golf course that is located within the boundary of the City of Corona. The Mountain View Golf Course has not operated as a golf course for more than a decade, closing in about 2009. The property is vacant and has been the subject of prior and current development efforts. The Mountain View Golf Course owners, through their developer Oxbow Partners, are currently pursuing several development applications with the County of Riverside. They are willing to exclude the Corona portion of the Mountain View Golf Course from the development project - and thus they will not pursue any necessary development applications with the City of Corona - and instead donate the Corona portion of the property to the City if certain conditions are met within a ten (10) year period.
