Body
ANALYSIS:
On July 18, 2018, the City entered into a Grading Agreement with Hitesh P. Patel and Nirmala H. Patel, to secure the required grading and erosion control associated with the construction of an expansion of the existing motel with the addition of 14 rooms on 0.43 acres in the GC (General Commercial) designation of the Downtown Corona Revitalization Specific Plan. On October 17, 2018, the City also entered into an Improvement Agreement for the construction of public street, water and sewer improvements associated with the project. The project is located on the north side of West Sixth Street, approximately 50 feet east of Lincoln Avenue, as shown on Exhibit “A.” On April 15, 2020, the City Council released the Precise Grading and Erosion Control Securities at the Council meeting.
All of the improvements secured by the agreement have now been completed and inspected to ensure conformation with City specification. Therefore, it is appropriate to release the Public Improvements Securities at this time.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Not applicable.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer. It is the City’s responsibility to begin the maintenance of the public improvements one (1) year after the date of acceptance.
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 security associated with a ministerial permit. Since there is no possibility that adopting this action will have a significant effect on the environment, no environmental analysis is required.
