Document Description
Acquire an approximately 2.1-acre (93,218-square-foot) undeveloped property located on the east side of Sunny Avenue, approximately 155 feet south of Myrtle Avenue for City projects or wetland preservation. Most of the site is low-lying land, mapped as wetland in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wetlands Inventory, associated with Second Slough. An approximately 0.4-acre area at the southwestern corner of the property is higher in elevation (12-20 feet) and may include uplands. The site is adjacent to parcels containing the planned Bay to Zoo Trail, and it adjoins 1429 Sunny Avenue to the south, which the City recently purchased to use for the Trail and required mitigation. The City may use the subject property’s lowland area for required mitigation, and the upland area may be used for other City facilities in the future; or, the City could do nothing with the property, thereby ensuring the preservation of this wetland/riparian corridor.

Reasons for Exemption
It can be seen with certainty there is no possibility the acquisition itself may have a significant effect on the environment. If mitigation or other projects are proposed for the site in the future, those projects would be subject to separate CEQA analysis.
