Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement for the First 5 Santa Barbara County Office at 218 W. Carmen Lane, Santa Maria, Fifth District, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the County of Santa Barbara and Pacifica Commercial Realty, formerly known as C-Four Investments Inc., for the County’s use of approximately 1,500 square feet of office space in the commercial building located at 218 W. Carmen Lane, Suite 111, in Santa Maria; for a period of three (3) years and an additional three (3) one-year renewal options with an initial monthly base rent of $2,222.33, for use by the First 5 Santa Barbara County, and authorize the First 5 Director to exercise the renewal options in writing pursuant to Section 4 extension and renewal of lease; and
b) Find that the proposed action is for the continued operation and leasing of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that which presently exists; and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption on that basis.
