NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES that:
1. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for the Central Park Master Plan, which includes the Playground Improvements Project, and approved in 2018. The IS/MND concluded that the project would not have any significant effects with the incorporation of mitigation measures that have been included in the project’s Conditions of Approval to ensure compliance during project implementation. In addition, City Council’s authorization of the requested budget appropriations is not a project subject to CEQA review, because it consists of a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
