|
|
|
|
Recommendations for Council action:
- DETERMINE that approval of the Amendment and related actions (Project) is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301 [Permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use] and Section 15311 [Construction, or placement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities] of California CEQA Guidelines and Article III, Section 1, Class 1(14) and Class 11(6) of City CEQA Guidelines; and, direct the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) to file a Notice of Exemption with the Los Angeles County Clerk and the California Office of Planning and Research.
- APPROVE the Amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement between the RAP and FCMA to allow FCMA to sell beverages and packaged snacks in their gift shop and an adjacent coffee cart on the Aquarium grounds.
|
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners reports that the Amendment has no negative impact on the Aquarium’s operations and RAP’s General Fund, inasmuch as all funds generated by FCMA are used to support the Aquarium and offset program and capital improvement expenditures. The relationship with FCMA almost affords additional fundraising opportunities, which enables the Aquarium to continue and/or expand services without bearing the full cost of those services.
