A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
FINDING THAT ADOPTION OF THIS RESOLUTION AND THE ACTIONS TAKEN HEREIN
ARE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO AMEND THE LEASE AGREEMENT
WITH THE COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA FOR SAFE PARKING AT
SHORELINE AMPHITHEATRE LOT B TO EXTEND THE TERM THROUGH JUNE 30, 2026
WHEREAS, the City of Mountain View (City) owns property located at One Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, commonly referred to as Shoreline Amphitheatre; and
WHEREAS, on May 10, 2006, the City and the Shoreline Regional Park Community entered into a Ground Lease Agreement with Live Nation Worldwide, Inc., for use of the Shoreline Amphitheatre and related parking lot (“Shoreline Ground Lease”); and
WHEREAS, on March 29, 2021 , the Shoreline Ground Lease was amended to allow the City to use Shoreline Amphitheatre Lot B (“Shoreline Lot B”) for safe parking through December 31, 2022, with annual options to renew through December 31, 2025; and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18353, authorizing operation of a Safe Parking Program at Shoreline Lot B; and
WHEREAS, the City and the County of Santa Clara (“County”) entered into a lease agreement for use of Shoreline Lot B for safe parking, which expires June 30, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the lease agreement with the County for safe parking at Shoreline Lot B to extend the term through June 30, 2026; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: that the City Council of the City of Mountain View finds that the exceptions to the categorical exemptions set forth in California Code of Regulations Section 15300.2 and finds that they are not applicable because use of the existing parking/va cant lots for the operation of temporary safe parking does not impose a significant cumulative impact over time as the use as a parking lot is generally unchanged, is not an unusual circumstance for a city in the Bay Area attempting to assist the homeless and unstably housed affected by the regional housing crisis, does not impact scenic or historical resources, and the existing parking/vacant lots are not hazardous waste sites; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: the City Council of the City of Mountain View finds that adoption of this Resolution and the actions taken herein are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 15301, which provides a categorical exemption for the minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that the City Council of the City of Mountain View finds that adoption of this Resolution and the actions taken herein are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that the City Manager or their designee is authorized to amend the lease agreement with the County for safe parking at Shoreline Lot B to extend the term through June 30, 2026, and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that this Resolution shall become effective immediately upon adoption.
