NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety. Section 2. CEQA Findings: The City Council has considered the environmental review previously prepared and certified, including the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Downtown Precise Plan, certified on January 24, 2011 (State Clearinghouse No. 2006052027), and the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Downtown Precise Plan Plan-Wide Amendments, certified on June 26, 2023 (State Clearinghouse No. 2021090249). The City Council has also considered its prior CEQA determination for the Project, including Resolution No. 16254, adopted on October 28, 2024, by which the City Council reviewed and approved a CEQA Consistency Checklist for the Project and determined that the Project, including the proposed vacation and sale of City property, was within the scope of the previously certified environmental review for the Downtown Precise Plan and its Amendments and was consistent with Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines sections 15168 and 15183. The action before the City Council is a resolution initiating the statutory process for considering the general vacation of the Spring Street Segment and sets a noticed public hearing on the proposed vacation. The proposed vacation is a component of the previously approved and analyzed Project. The City Council finds that this action does not involve substantial changes to the Project, substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken, or new information of substantial importance that would require subsequent or supplemental environmental review. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required for this resolution of intention. Section 3. The City Council declares its intention to initiate the process for vacating the portion of the Spring Street Segment, pursuant to CSHC Section 8320, subject to those terms and conditions set forth in the vacation resolution, on the basis that the Spring Street Segment is unnecessary for present or prospective public purposes. Section 4. The City Council hereby sets for public hearing on the proposed vacation of the Spring Street Segment for July 27, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon as
