12A. Council initiated item from Councilmember Joy Lyndes to consider the repair of the Swami’s Overlook parking area off Cornish. 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 government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Recommended Action: Direct staff to evaluate the condition of Swami's Overlook parking and recommend maintenance or upgrade actions to remedy issues. Initial input from staff has suggested: 1) leveling the parking surface and creating a smooth transition to the roadway; 2) installing a gravel or similar surface to keep dust down, and hold the soil in place; and 3) 3. and installing wheel stops for the parking spaces. Other elements may be suggested, or brought forward for consideration, if needed. 2026-05-13 Item 12A Councilmember Initiated Joy Lyndes - Swami’s Overlook parking area repair
