Phil Oberhansley, representing CAFH at Wildomar, Inc. provided public comment in favor of the item.
Moved by Bridgette Moore; seconded by Ashlee DePhillippo to Adopt Resolution No. 2023 - 29 which:
(1) Authorizes the City Manager to sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement and all ancillary agreements and documents related to, and take any other actions necessary to complete, the purchase of two properties located near 21776 Palomar Street, one of which is identified as Assessor Parcel Number 380-050- 025 and the other is a portion of the parcel identified as Assessor Parcel Number 380-050-027. Ancillary documents will include without limitation the Grant Deed, Grant of Access Easements, and Water License Agreement ("Recorded Documents"), and a License Agreement. Necessary actions to complete the purchase will include without limitation signing certificates of acceptance of the interests conveyed by the Recorded Documents, signing escrow instructions, and depositing into escrow the purchase price and independent consideration for a due diligence period;
(2) Finds that the approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act for the following reasons:
• The Purchase and Sale Agreement itself is not a project subject to CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and it falls under the common sense exemption of CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the Agreement simply preserves the status quo on the subject properties. No physical environmental changes and/or no significant environmental impacts will result from the City's approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and therefore such approval is not City Council/Cemetery District - CC - Regular Meeting - Minutes - June 14, 2023 a project subject to CEQA and/or is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption.
• The City is merely designating the Property as a preferred site for a potential park and/or civic building and parking facilities and restrooms to support either potential use pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15004(b)(2)(A). Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15004(b)(2), nothing in the Purchase and Sale Agreement commits the City to develop or use the subject properties at all, let alone in a way that would limit the City's choice of alternatives or mitigation measures that the City's future CEQA review document may identify as being necessary to avoid or lessen significant environmental impacts.
