BACKGROUND The project site is commonly known as the Rancho View School Site and includes the bus maintenance facility and the adjacent area to the west of the school from B Street to Beach Boulevard. The total project area is approximately 25.61 acres. Lowe's is proposing development of the 11.61-acre Rancho View School site (excluding the 7.7 acre bus maintenance facility) with an approximately 159,300 square feet retail warehouse facility along with a 9,000 square feet restaurant pad. The EIR will also analyze a conceptual plan of development, consistent with the General Plan, of approximately 43,825 square feet of commercial/office located on the adjacent 6.3 acres to the west from B Street to Beach Blvd. A zoning map amendment is proposed to change the zoning from Public —Semipublic (PS) to Commercial General (CG). The proposed amendment is required for the entire 19.31 acre school site (including the bus maintenance facility) to make the zoning consistent with the existing General Plan designation. Prior to the proposed development, a Master Environmental Impact Report must be completed to assess any environmental considerations and appropriate mitigation measures. B. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: During the past several years, there has been substantial activity in development projects within the City of Huntington Beach. This activity is primarily due to the economy and the proposals of many developer's projects being submitted such as Lowe's development of the Rancho View School Site. The City and Lowe's HIW, Inc. recognize the time and costs associated with professional planning PL00-43 -3- 8115100 2:00 PM *REQUEST FOR ACTION 0 MEETING DATE: August 21, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL00-43 services to prepare a Master Environmental Impact Report. In order to assist Lowe's with its project, it is necessary for the City to retain the services of a Consultant to prepare a Master Environmental Impact Report. The City and Lowe's HIW, Inc. have agreed to enter into a Reimbursement Agreement to help defray these costs. Staff recommends the City Council approve the Reimbursement Agreement between the City and Lowe's HIW, Inc., approve the appropriation of funds in the amount of One Hundred Fifty-three Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-eight Dollars ($153,978.00), and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign. C. COUNCIL POLICY REGARDING REQUESTS FOR AN APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS: As adopted by the City Council in March 1998, all requests for appropriation of funds must meet one of the following criteria; 1) The request is for an unanticipated emergency, 2) The request is required to implement labor negotiations, or 3) The request will be offset by related new revenues. The new appropriations being requested will be offset by related new revenues from the Reimbursement Agreement between the City and Lowe's HIW, Inc., the project proponent. Environmental Status: Projects over which public agencies exercise ministerial authority, such as this agreement contracting for the preparation of a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15300.1.
