11 PUBLIC HEARINGS
A Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No. 24 -15 - A Resolution finding and determining that the public interest, convenience and necessity require the acquisition of certain real property located at 8833 Cedar Street for public purposes.
CEQA: The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.
Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301 (existing facilities), exempts activities that involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. This activity would acquire private property for the purpose of operating, maintaining, an d leasing of an existing shelter to ensure its continued operations. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) are not applicable because the action at issue herein is not a “project” subject to CEQA under Pub. Res. Code § 21065, as the proposed Project will continue existing use of the Property as the New Hope Shelter and thus has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Eve n assuming, arguendo, that acquisition of the property amounts to a “project” subject to CEQA, this activity involves a negligible expansion of the existing use and no further review is required.
Recommendation to City Council: 1) Open the public hearing, take testimonial and documentary evidence, and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 24-15 by a minimum two-thirds vote; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
