The City Council hereby approves the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions for property located at 6009 Del Rio Road, Atascadero. SECTION 3. The City Council hereby finds that: (1) approval of this Resolution is an action that is not subject to CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that entering into the Agreement will have a significant effect on the environment; and (2) that the proposed purchase of the Property is the type of land acquisition agreement CEQA allows agencies to enter 0=4 into before complying with CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15004(b)(2)(A) because this Resolution simply approves the acquisition of the Property and designates it as the preferred site for CEQA review of potential future street Improvements in the area while conditioning the City's actual future use of the site for any such Improvement project on prior CEQA compliance and City of Atascadero Resolution No. 2018-062 Page 2 of 2 without placing any limits on the future choice of alternatives or mitigation measures that may be •• considered under CEQA before approval of the actual construction of the Improvements.
