Recommendation:
1. Find that the proposed acquisition of the subject property is being undertaken without
plans for any specific use or development of the property at this time, and therefore the
mere change in title ownership does not have the possibility of causing any potentially
significant impact on the environment and therefore is exempt from environment review
under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Pub. Res. Code § 21065,
CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2)-(3), 15061(b)(3), 15378). As such, no additional
environmental analysis is required at this time;
2. Find that the proposed acquisition of the subject property is consistent with the City’s
adopted General Plan;
3. Approve, as to form, the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions and
authorize the City Manager to close escrow to finalize the purchase of the Property;
4. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the final Purchase and Sales
Agreement Between Robert L. Persson, Robert G. Wedeen, Tasha Sounart, Kelsey
Hendrix, Hunter Persson, Prestin Wittbrodt, and Robert G. Wedeen Trust and the City of
Burbank, for the property commonly known as 110 W. Olive Street, located in the City of
Burbank, County of Los Angeles, State of California, APN Nos. 2451-007-019, 2451-
007-20 and 2451-007-026 in the amount of $14,000,000;
