NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF CORONA, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the above stated recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Exempt Surplus Property Declaration. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the Subject Property is no longer necessary for the City’s use and is exempt surplus land, as defined in the Surplus Land Act, based on the evidence in the record and the true and correct written findings found in this Resolution and incorporated herein by reference. The City Council further finds that the Subject Property: (a) is not located within a coastal zone; (b) is not adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System; (c) is not listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places; and (d) is not located within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Government Code Section 66905.5.
SECTION 3. CEQA. The declaration of the Subject Property as exempt surplus land is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This resolution simply declares that the properties at 106, 114, 122, and 138 East Sixth Street are exempt surplus land and there is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the Clerk of the City shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 3
rd day of December 2025.
