6.1.F. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager October 2, 2017 SUBJECT License Agreement to use a portion of a City parking lot for the development at 2075 Broadway (Devcon Construction) RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a License Agreement with Devcon Construction, Inc. and find that the agreement is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) BACKGROUND The 2075 Broadway project (former Powerhouse Gym site) is a four-story mixed-use office/retail building. On September 11, 2017, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to execute an Improvement Agreement, Landscape Maintenance Agreement, Stormwater Treatment Measures Maintenance Agreement and two Hold Harmless Agreements with the developer of 2075 Broadway, Lane Broadway, LLC and BAG -GEM Properties, LP for the project.
