End
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
That the City Council release the Grading and Public Improvement Securities associated with 3180 Garretson Avenue in full (E062069 FP and LM, E062071 FP and DEP16-0129 - cash deposit).
Body
ANALYSIS:
On September 21, 2016, the City entered into Grading and Improvement Agreements with Mohammed Altaf Hussain and Mohammad Imtiaz Hussain to secure the required grading and public improvements associated with the development of a single-family residence on a 1.13-acre lot in the Estate Residential Zone located at 3180 Garretson Avenue, as shown on Exhibit “A.”
On July 19, 2019, the owner notified the City that construction of the project was on hold until further notice and requested release of the bonds. No construction work commenced on the site, no permits have been issued, and all plan checks have expired. Therefore, it is appropriate to release, in full, the Grading and Public Improvement Securities associated with 3180 Garretson Avenue at this time.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Not applicable.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The owner has paid a cancellation fee of $146.00 to process this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely releases the current securities associated with the property. Since there is no possibility that adopting this action will have a significant effect on the environment, no environmental analysis is required.
