7.5.A. - Page 2 <br /> A specific purpose of the City would include but would not be limited to any of the <br /> following: <br /> • To dispose of the land in such a way that the City secures certain community <br /> benefits which benefits may be defined by the City Council pursuant to a <br /> resolution at the time it approves a sale or other disposition of the land; or <br /> • To control the development of the land in order to serve the interests of the City; <br /> or <br /> • To control the development of the land in order to serve the common benefit <br /> which may include but is not limited to stimulating the growth and development of <br /> the City; to make the land available for affordable housing; to make the land <br /> available for a better or more compatible use; to diminish blight or redevelop an <br /> area; to sell the land to increase City revenues; or to use the land to accomplish <br /> an implementation of a General Plan objective, goal or policy. <br /> In addition, a citation to the Surplus Land Act was added to the ordinance as well as a <br /> standard procedural section providing for severability in the event any part of the <br /> ordinance is struck down as a result of a challenge or new law. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> 1. Make changes to the ordinance. <br /> 2. Do not set forth policy in an ordinance as to what does not or does not constitute <br /> surplus land and instead make such determinations on an ad hoc basis. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Not applicable. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section <br /> 15378, because this policy, if adopted, sets forth a policy regarding making an <br /> administrative determination as to what constitutes or does not constitute surplus land <br /> and therefore it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or foreseeable physical <br /> change in the environment. <br /> GCS <br /> PAMELA THOMPSON, <br /> CITY ATTORNEY <br />
