Consider recommendations regarding a Sanctuary Centers Amendment to the Funding Agreement and Reconveyance of Deed of Trust for 115 W. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara, First District (RP File No. 004019), as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Amendment to the Funding Agreement for Mental Health Housing Trust Funds between the County of Santa Barbara and Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara, Inc. (also known as “Sanctuary House of Santa Barbara, Inc.” or “Sanctuary Centers”);
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Substitution of Trustee and Deed of Full Reconveyance, which will terminate the repayment obligation of a $400,000.00 conditional grant and release the associated deed of trust recorded against the properties located at 115 West Anapamu Street (the “Property”) and 125 West Anapamu Street in the City of Santa Barbara (the 115 and 125 West Anapamu Street properties, collectively, the “Encumbered Properties”); and
c) Determine that the recommended actions are not the acceptance and approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the actions are a creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), finding that the actions consist of organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
