A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF THOUSAND OAKS
DECLARING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION

PORTIONS OF APNS 670-018-1110, 670-018-1260, 670-018-
1250, 671-024-0450, AND A PORTION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
WEST OF 1964 E. THOUSAND OAKS BLVD) IS NON-EXEMPT
SURPLUS LAND, APPROVING THE NOTICE OF
AVAILABILITY THEREFOR, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO COMPLY WITH THE SURPLUS LAND ACT,
AND FINDING THAT SUCH DECLARATION IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO SECTIONS
15060(C) AND 15312 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES
WHEREAS, the City of Thousand Oaks (the City) is the owner in fee simple of that certain real property identified as Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN): portion of 670-018- 1110, whole 670-018-1270, portion of 670-018-1260, portion of 670-018-1250, portion of 671-024-0450, and a portion of right-of-way without an assigned APN, which together measures approximately 1.7 acres in size and is located along East Thousand Oaks Boulevard, as identified and depicted in “Exhibit A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the Property).
WHEREAS, the City no longer has any use for the Property; and WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220 et seq. (as amended, the Act), applies when a local agency disposes of “surplus land,” as that term is defined in Government Code Section 54221; and
WHEREAS, the Property is “surplus land” under the Act, because it is land owned in fee simple by the City for which the City will take formal action (in the form of adoption of this resolution) in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, the Act requires that prior to the disposal of any surplus land, unless an exemption applies, a local agency must issue a Notice of Availability to, among others, affordable housing developers, and thereafter, if any entity submits a qualified Notice of Interest within sixty (60) days of issuance of the Notice of Availability, the local agency must negotiate in good faith for at least ninety (90) days with any such submitting entities; and
WHEREAS, the Property is not exempt from the Act; and
WHEREAS, a form of Notice of Availability is attached hereto as “Exhibit B.” NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Thousand Oaks as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution and findings of the City.
SECTION 2. The City hereby finds and declares that the Property is “surplus land” as used in the Act, because the Property is owned in fee simple by the City, and the Property is surplus and not necessary for the City’s use.
SECTION 3. The City hereby approves the form of Notice of Availability substantially in the form attached hereto as “Exhibit B.” SECTION 4. The Ciy hereby authorizes the City Manager or designee to take all necessary actions to fully comply with the Act without the need to obtain further City approval.

SECTION 5. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (CEQA). City staff has determined that the designation of the Property as non-exempt surplus, approval of the form of Notice of Availability, and authorization for the City Manager to comply with the Act do not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and are therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because such actions do not constitute a “project” as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378. In the alternative, even if the actions contemplated here constituted a “project” under CEQA, they involve the sale of surplus government property, which is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to a Class 12 categorical exemption. Specifically, the government Property is not located in an area of statewide, regional or areawide concern as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15206(b)(4). The Property is not located in any of the following : the Lake Tahoe Basin, the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, the California Coastal Zone, an area within ¼ mile of a wild and scenic river, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the Suisun Marsh, or the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. Therefore, the City’s adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA review. Finally, 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 any of the Property is sold to a purchaser, and that 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. This Resolution does not constitute a binding commitment to any particular use of the Property.
SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

RE: Notice of Availability/Offer to Lease or Sell Surplus Property As required by Government Code Section 54220 of the State of California, the City of Thousand Oaks is providing notification that the City intends to lease or sell the surplus property listed in the accompanying table.
In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, you have sixty (60) days from the date this offer was sent via certified mail or electronic mail to notify the City of your interest in acquiring the property.

Instead, the City would enter into at least ninety (90) days of negotiations with you pursuant to Government Code Section 54223. If no agreement is reached on price and terms, the City may market the property to the general public.
As required by Government Code Section 54227, if the City receives more than one letter of interest during this 60 day period, it will give first priority to entities proposing to develop housing where at least 25 percent of the units will be affordable to lower income households. If more than one such proposal is received, priority will be given to the proposal with the greatest number of affordable units. If more than one proposal specifies the same number of affordable units, priority will be given to the proposal that has the lowest average affordability level.
In the event your agency or company is interested in leasing or buying the property, you must notify the City in writing within sixty (60) days of the date this notice was sent via certified mail or electronic mail. Notice of your interest in acquiring the property shall be delivered to:
