SUBJECT:
TITLE
CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH DANCO COMMUNITIES FOR THE SALE AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PORTION OF THE FORMER SAN PABLO CITY HALL LOCATED AT 13831 SAN PABLO AVENUE, SAN PABLO, CALIFORNIA
CEQA: The former City Hall property was the subject of a Historic Resources Assessment Report (www.sanpabloca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/13643/Old-City-Hall---Historic-Report
) and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment No. 4) prepared in connection with the approval of the Specific Plan Amendment/General Plan Amendment that designated the property as SP2-Mixed Use Center City Hall Site on February 20, 2018. As part of that approval, mitigation measures were adopted that must be complied with as part of the development of the project. Those mitigation measures have been incorporated as part of the agreement with the developer. There has been no change in circumstances that would warrant further environmental review at this time. Further, the Project meets the criteria established for the affordable housing exemption set forth in Section 15194 of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (the "CEQA Guidelines").
