WHEREAS, the City has determined that the Property is no longer necessary for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the LRPMP, the Oversight Board established pursuant to the Dissolution Act and the State Department of Finance shall have no further authority over the use or disposition of Governmental Use Properties following the transfer of these properties to the City; and WHEREAS, under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Section 54220 et seq. (“Act”), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by the City for which the City’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus and not necessary for the City’s use.
The land must be declared either surplus land or exempt surplus land; and WHEREAS, under the Act, land is necessary for the City’s use if the land is being used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the City’s governing board, for City work or operations; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to declare that the Property is surplus land, is not planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the City Council, for work or operations, and therefore, is not necessary for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, the staff report presented to the City Council, together with this Resolution, contains the factual background and supporting information upon which the declaration and findings set forth herein are based.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1:Recitals Correct. The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2:Use Finding. The City Council finds that the Property is not necessary for the City’s use as described in the preceding recitals and the staff report accompanying this Resolution.
Section 3:Surplus Declaration. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is surplus land pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(b)(1).
Section 4:CEQA Determination. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et -3-

seq.) (“CEQA”). City staff have determined that the designation of the Property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Property is sold to a purchaser and the purchaser proposes a use for the Property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
Section 5:Notice of Exemption. City of Cathedral City staff are directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.
Section 6:General Authorization. The officers and staff of the City are hereby authorized, jointly and severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and confirmed.
Section 7:Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council.
Section 8:Certification. The City Clerk of the City of Cathedral City shall certify to the passage, approval and adoption of this resolution, and the City Clerk of the City of Cathedral City shall cause this Resolution and the City Clerk’s certification to be entered in the File of Resolutions of the City of Cathedral City, City Council.
