SBC FILE NUMBER: 160
AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On April 12, 2016, the Board of Supervisors found that the acquisition of the property at 1161 San Felipe Road was Categorically Exempt from CEQA, and approved the purchase of the property for the use of a new Community Services Center.
Under the proposed settlement agreement, the shelter will not be operated as a "drop-in" basis, and will be limited to housing 50 individuals per night. However, in the event of a local or state emergency, the 50 person cap could be exceeded to house those individuals displaced by the emergency, such as if flooding were to occur again in the future.
Since April 2016, the County has been in negotiations with opponents to the project. This agreement, which does not involve any monetary payment, resolves the opposition to the project and allows the County to move forward with this important project without litigation.
