MOTION

RTC 08-049

 

Jay Paul Company Request for Release of “H Street Reservation” and Removal of H Street Alignment as an Alternative for Mary Avenue Extension

 

 

Staff Recommendation: Council considers, pursuant to the request of the Jay Paul Company, either Alternative 1 or Alternative 2, and that release of the “H Street Reservation”, pursuant to the request, is not in violation of applicable California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements for review of alternatives. There is a risk, however, that the release of H Street will nonetheless be included if there were to be a challenge to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR).  Staff makes no recommendation for or against the release of the H Street Reservation.  This matter is not before the Council pursuant to the Subdivision Agreement and in any event the City is making best efforts to complete the environmental review process as soon as possible.  In the event that the Council elects to release the H Street Reservation, staff recommends Alternative 2 requiring a hold harmless and indemnification agreement for any additional costs or financial impacts arising from the release of the H Street Extension prior to the certification of the FEIR.
