NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF BALDWIN PARK AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1, The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution. SECTION 2. Each of the three (3) parcels on the Inventory List (the "Surplus Properties") are not necessary for the City's use, and there is no planned use by the City of these surplus or excess properties. 1 SECTION 3. Three (3) of the properties are excess lands, as defined in Government Code section 50569, and three (3) of the properties are non-exempt surplus land, as defined in Government Code section 54221(b). SECTION 4. Based on the true and correct written findings in this Resolution and incorporated herein by reference, the City Council hereby authorizes the listing of the surplus and excess properties on the Inventory List created by City staff pursuant to and in compliance with Government Code section 54230. SECTION 5. The listing of the surplus and excess properties on the Inventory List are actions that are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15378, because they have no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. If and when one of the properties is sold to a purchaser, and that purchaser proposes a use for the property that requires CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the above-described actions are a "project" within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines section 15378, such actions would be exempt from CEQA review under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)). SECTION 5. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.
