Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Buellton Senior Center 25-Year Lease Agreement (R/P File No.: 000999), Third District, as follows:
a) Find that the programs and services provided at the Buellton Senior Center at 164 West Highway 246, Units A and B, in Buellton (Premises) by the Buellton Senior Center, a California non-profit corporation, are necessary to meet the health, welfare, and social needs of the local senior community, and that the Premises are not needed by the County for the period of this Lease Agreement;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Lease Agreement (Agreement) between the Buellton Senior Center as Lessee and the County of Santa Barbara as Lessor wherein the County, pursuant to California Government Code Section 26227, leases the subject Premises for a period of 25 years with two 5-year renewal options described in Section 5, which will allow the Lessee to undertake fundraising events for some needed improvements to the Buellton Senior Center subject to approval of plans by the County Capital Projects Assistant Director;
c) Approve and authorize the Director of the General Services Department, or their designee, until otherwise ordered by the Board of Supervisors and subject to concurrence from Risk Management, to approve the renewal options pursuant to Section 5, Extention of Lease; and
d) Determine that the proposed actions are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because they consist only of the continued leasing of existing public structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that which presently exists, and approve and direct staff to file and post a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
