AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the License Agreement, and any extensions on behalf of the County.

FIND the project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 5 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines; and

DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development to file the notice of exemption with the County Clerk; and

AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development to arrange for payment of the $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the notice of exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The License Agreement will generate $12,000 per year for expenses related to the IHC.

BACKGROUND:

The County is the owner of the IHC, a segment of which is Assessor's Parcel No. 148-360-027 located between Mayhew Way and Hookston Road in Pleasant Hill.

In January 2013, the County demolished the former Tri-City site and as a result the County needs to fence the entire property so that it can be incorporated into the trail area in the future. Historically, the businesses to the west have used a portion of the non-trail section of the IHC property for parking, additional access, vehicle maneuvering, storage and placement of a dumpster. Installing a fence would limit their ability to use this portion of the IHC.

The property owner and their tenants are interested in entering into a License Agreement with the County to use a portion of the IHC property (approximately 20 feet by 410 feet) for the purposes of daily parking for the occupants located at 199 Mayhew Way, and for maintenance of County temporary fencing.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval of the License Agreement, the County will not generate revenue while holding the property for a future public project, and the neighboring businesses will lack parking.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
