ABSTRACT: The City Council’s Regular Meeting Agenda 8 January 2013 includes Agenda Item VIII. Orders of Council B. Review and consider the Recirculated Final Environmental Report for the Flanders Mansion property, including consideration and determination of several specific questions related to the adequacy of the EIR and the conformity of the EIR to the General Plan. The Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council find the 2012 EIR to be adequate. Given that the sole reason for failure of the 2009 EIR was lack of adequacy, however, staff encourages City Council members to carefully review the EIR. Further staff recommendations include:
Determine that a sale, with mitigations, is consistent with the General Plan;
Approve either a lease or a sale;
Limit future occupancy to a single-family residence;
Select Alternatives 6.7 or 6.5A for the boundary for the sale or lease;
Determine that all proposed mitigation measures should be adopted; and
Direct staff and legal counsel to prepare written findings and implementing resolutions for final action at the Council's March 5, 2013 meeting.
With regard to “Approve either a lease or a sale,” recent correspondence is embedded from Les and Patrician Albiol (6 November 2012 and 4 December 2012) expressing an interest in a resident curatorship, Wendy & Peterson Conway (18 October 2012, 22 October 2012 and 25 October 2012) expressing an interest in a long-term lease and Rick Stemple expressing an interest in a long-term lease.
Les and Patricia Albiol – Resident Curatorship
