The City Council finds and determines that the project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, Existing Facilities, of the CEQA Guidelines because it does not involve physical changes to the environment. SECTION 2. Findings. That this Council, after consideration of Walter Brothers Center Planned Development Overlay Modification and the Planning Commission's recommendations, staff recommendations,public testimony, and reports thereof,makes the following findings: 1. The request for deleting Condition No. 4 is consistent with General Plan policy regarding the restrictions on office uses because the Land Use Map designation for the property is Office. 2. The approval of the request will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the subject property, or be injurious to the general welfare of the City because there is no demonstrated evidence to support that the change in the minimum floor area for non-governmental tenants at this location will be detrimental to the City's desire to maintain a viable downtown and concentrated government centers. 3. The proposed modifications to the Planned Development overlay conditions do not result in physical modifications to the site, and are therefore exempt from environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental.Quality Act(CEQA).

Lowell CD-PlantRalkowski/PD 95-04(Amendment Ordinance) council S a j acEnaa Report CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO FROM: Jay D. Walter, Acting Public Works Director Prepared By: Ron Holstine,Fleet Maintenance Supervisor SUBJECT: UNSCHEDULED PARK MAINTENANCE FIELD RAKE REPLACEMENT CAO RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Approve a cooperative procurement via purchase order to John Deere Company in the amount of$8,277.60 for one John Deere field rake 2. Approve transferring $8,300.00 from the Fleet Replacement Fund completed projects account to a new equipment replacement account DISCUSSION Park and Landscape Maintenance crews use two field rake machines to prepare baseball and softball infields for play. One of these machines—Fleet #8806, a Smithco Easyrider field rake— is out of commission with a blown engine. Although the engine could be replaced for about $1,000, the entire machine is pretty much worn out and ready for replacement. If it is repaired and returned to service, it will be unreliable, will diminish the productivity of the ballfield prep crews, and will increase field service repair calls. This equipment must be reliable and mechanically sound because, in addition to City maintenance crews, sports clubs are allowed to use this equipment outside of regular working hours in order to keep City overtime costs to a minimum. For these reasons, the Fleet Maintenance Supervisor recommends replacement at this time due to the overall condition of the machine, not just the engine. The Fleet Management Policy sets a 15-year expected service life for this type of equipment, and #8806 is now 16 years old. The field rake needed is available through a California Multiple Awards Schedule (CHAS) contract with John Deere Company. FISCAL IMPACT The cost of the replacement field rake is $8,277.60. Public Works is recommending that $8,300.00 be transferred from the Fleet Replacement Fund completed projects account to a new equipment replacement account. The current balance of the completed projects account is $26,972.83..
