11 PUBLIC HEARINGS
A Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting Resolution No. 22-1 – A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Agreement for Disposition of Real Property No. 882.1, in a form approved by the City Attorney, between Urban Pacific Developme nt Group, LLC and the City of Bellflower for the disposition of real property located at 9443 Artesia Boulevard.

Any future development on the Properties will require separate CEQA scrutiny.
Recommendation to City Council: 1) Open the public hearing; take documentary and testimonial evidence; and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 22-1 authorizing the City Manager to execute Agreement for Disposition of Real Property AFN 882.1, in a form approved by the City Attorney; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

D Consideration and possible action to Adopt Resolution No. 2 2-3 – A Resolution extending the existence of a local emergency and authorizing hybrid public meetings via teleconferencing. _____

Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Based upon that review, this action is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health and welfare.1
