body
WHEREAS, in 1958 a building was constructed at 201 West Orange Avenue on land which was owned by the San Francisco Water Department, now the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which issued a Revocable Permit, dated January 7, 1958; and
WHEREAS, the Permit granted the Boys’ Club permission to utilize the land for the purpose of constructing and occupying a building “of a temporary, removable nature,” for providing recreational activities for youth; and
WHEREAS, in 2007/08, in conjunction with the development of plans for Centennial Way linear park and the Centennial Way Dog Park, the City’s Redevelopment Agency purchased property from the PUC between Orange Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, including the land under what evolved into the Boys and Girls Club, as well as the adjacent parking lots; and
WHEREAS, the South San Francisco Boys and Girls Club is in the process of merging with Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula (BGCP) and requires that a new lease agreement be executed between the City and the BGCP; and
WHEREAS, a new Lease Agreement has been drafted and is attached to this Resolution, with provisions which include conditions and restrictions of use; specification that the annual fee for use of the property is $1 per year; adjacent public parking lots are not for exclusive use of the BGCP and are controlled by the City; and clarification of insurance, maintenance, and operational responsibilities, among other terms and conditions; and
WHEREAS, the term of the new lease is three years, with three one-year lease extensions permitted, for a total of 6 years; and
WHEREAS, the BGCP has expressed an interest in renovating or replacing the facility at 201 West Orange Avenue in the future, which would likely require that a new lease be developed between BGCP and the City at that time; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Lease Agreement for a portion of the City-owned property at 201 West Orange is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the agreement may have a significant effect on the environment. The Lease Agreement pertains only to the portion of property on which buildings already exist. If the owner of the buildings proposes any modification in the future that require review under CEQA, the City will undertake that review at the earliest feasible time
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco that it finds and determines that the above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby approves a Lease Agreement with the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula (BGCP) for a portion of City-owned property at 201 West Orange Avenue for an existing building located on the property, and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Lease Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A; to make any revisions, amendments, corrections, and modifications, subject to the approval of the City Attorney, deemed necessary to carry out the intent of this Resolution and which do not materially alter or increase the City’s obligations thereunder; to execute any other necessary related documents on behalf of the City, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney; and to take any related action reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Resolution.
