Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Find that the proposed acquisition of the subject property is being undertaken
without design plans or commitment to any specific development of the property

the possibility of causing any potentially significant impact on the
environment, and on that basis, is exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) under the “Common Sense” exemption because it can
be seen with certainty that the change in title ownership of the property has no
possibility of having a
significant effect on the
environment; moreover, the purchase of the property and any potential subsequent
project is also considered to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Sections
15301(a) – Existing Facilities,
and 15303(d) – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures and there are
no features on this property that distinguish this project from others in the
exempt classes and no
unusual circumstances;
