RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the Project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines. FCP#611-17/DCD-CP# 17-32.

DIRECT the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to have the above referenced Grant of Easement delivered to the City for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder. Project No. WL083A–FCP611-17.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The existing storm drain system off of the Flood Control District’s right of way in San Pablo Creek is not adequate to handle storm drain runoff and causes frequent flooding onto Randy Lane. The City is requesting an easement in order to construct a new storm drain system and abandon the existing one. The proposed improvements include a 24” storm drain line and an outfall with a flap gate, located on the south side of the concrete lined channel’s wall, east of Giant Road.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The City will not have the necessary right of way to replace the existing storm drain system which will continue to flood and cause issues for the residents of Randy Lane.
