s�-i REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY March 14, 2005 Subject Adoption of a Resolution Confirming City Council Policy with respect to development on Laurel Way Recommendation That the City Council adopt the attached resolution confirming their policy with respect to the development of vacant sites on Laurel Way as follows: 1. Determine that the December 18, 2000 staff report and Exhibit A to Resolution 14111 (a map) accurately represent the Council's policy with respect to the location of the "EIR — No EIR Line;" 2. Adopt the attached Resolution which specifies Council's policy as it is presented in the December 18, 2000 staff report and Exhibit A with respect to development of vacant parcels on Laurel Way and the location of the "EIR — No EIR Line." Issue Existing City Council policy, established in 1988 and modified in 2000, states that no further development should occur on parcels on the west end of Laurel Way until an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared for all of the undeveloped portion of Laurel Way. Recently, Mr. Scott Sweeney, the property owner of 3730 Laurel Way (a vacant lot), has made staff aware of a need for clarification befinreen the Staff Report from December 18, 2000 and the associated Resolution. Both documents describe the location of the "EIR — No EIR Line," but use different references. Major Findings ■ December 18, 2000 Staff Report: The staff report clearly describes the location of the line with respect to 3726 Laurel Way, the "Last House" on the north side of the street. "All other vacant parcels along Laurel Way that are located westerly of 3726 Laurel Way would have to comply with the requirement that an EIR and technical studies (geographical, engineering, etc.) covering the entire undeveloped area be prepared priot to any development..." ■ Reso/ution 14111: The resolution does not specify the location of the EIR — No EIR Line based on addresses or parcels numbers for any of the prop�erties. The Resolution refers to Exhibit A, which depicts the location of the line as described below. ■ Exhibit A— Map: The EIR — No EIR Line shown on the map as an exhibit to the Resolution clearly matches the description of the location of the line in the December 18, 2000 staff report with the line located along the west side of the "Last House" at 3726 Laurel Way.
