Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
(1)
      Find that the proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378, as the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a “project”;
(2)
      Adopt a resolution declaring the properties at 78 N. Marengo Avenue, 255 E. Union Street, 95 N. Garfield Avenue and 280 Ramona Street as surplus property under California Government Code Sections 54220-54234; and
(3)
      Adopt a resolution declaring the property at 280 Ramona Street as surplus property and exempt from the competitive sale requirement under Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 4.02.
Recommendation of the Planning Commission
:
At its regular meeting of September 23, 2020, the Planning Commission, by a vote of 4-2:
(1)
      Found that the proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378, as the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a “project”; and
(2)
      Found that the proposed disposition of the properties at 78 N. Marengo Avenue, 255 E. Union Street, 95 N. Garfield Avenue and 280 Ramona Street, following declarations that such properties are surplus property, is consistent with the General Plan. The Commission was also asked to consider the following recommendation, which failed by a vote of 3-3:

        ·
   Recommend that the City Council declare the property at 280 Ramona Street as surplus property and exempt from the competitive sale requirement under Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 4.02.
The discussion surrounding this recommendation was focused around concerns about lack of control over potential future development that might occur on this property (i.e., inability to make the finding without a specific project proposal), lack of evidence to support a determination that the property is not needed for another City use, as well as loss of open space.
