10B. City Council direction on the City-owned site located at 634 Quail Gardens Drive (L-7) by repealing and replacing Resolution No. 2023-128 with a finding that the property is necessary for the City’s use and utilizing existing zoning regulations or consider rezoning of L-7 and other City parks. Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. A separate future analysis may need to be conducted depending on the City Council’s direction.
