Consider recommendations regarding a Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement for Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic at 4440 Calle Real, Santa Barbara, RP File No. 003527, Second District, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Third Amendment to the 2007 Lease Agreement (Amendment) between the County of Santa Barbara and the United States of America, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), for the VA’s continued use of approximately 6,700 square feet of medical office space in the County-owned building located at 4440 Calle Real, on the County’s Calle Real Campus, for a period of two (2) years, through September 30, 2020; continuing the monthly fixed rental rate of $23,659.71; and granting the General Services Director, or their designee, to approve amendments within this extension capping costs for tenant improvement in the amount of $45,000.00 annually; and
b) Determine that the proposed action consists of the operation and leasing of existing public or private structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use and therefore is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Existing Facilities, and direct staff to file and post the Notice of Exemption on that basis.
