Find that the proposed acquisition of the subject property is being undertaken without design plans or commitment to any specific development of the property at this time, and therefore, the mere change in

         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;

         (2)

         Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:

         (1)        
Find that the recommended actions in the agenda report are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines per Section 15061(b)(3), the “Common
         Sense” provision that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment;

It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)        
Find that the recommended actions in the agenda report are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines per Section 15061(b)(3), the “Common
         Sense” exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment;
