NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Manteca, as follows:
The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution.
The City Council hereby approves the Agreement to Process Entitlements and for the Interim Storm Basin Easement and Conveyance of 60-Acre Property to City between the City of Manteca, RAFF2, LLC, and Scannell Properties, LLC, in substantially the form presented to the City Council.
The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute the Pre-Annexation Agreement and any related exhibits, certificates, amendments, escrow documents, easement documents, and other ancillary documents necessary to implement the intent of this Resolution, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
Nothing contained in the Pre-Annexation Agreement or this Resolution shall be construed as approving any entitlement, annexation, environmental document, subdivision map, zoning action, permit, or development approval. The City expressly reserves all legislative, administrative, and discretionary authority provided by applicable law.
The City Council finds that the Pre-Annexation Agreement is consistent with the City of Manteca General Plan because it promotes the orderly annexation and development of property within the City's Sphere of Influence, supports economic development opportunities, provides for the planning and construction of necessary public infrastructure, facilitates future transportation improvements, and secures approximately 60 acres of land for future public park and stormwater basin purposes.
The City Council finds that approval of the Pre-Annexation Agreement does not approve any physical development of property and does not commit the City to any specific project. Environmental review required under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") shall be completed prior to any future discretionary approvals associated with the proposed development, annexation, infrastructure improvements, or future park development.
This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
