WHEREAS, the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency
(“SARDA”) is the owner in fee simple of those certain real properties with Assessor’s
Parcel Numbers 620-450-012 (16.91 acres), 620-450-013 (1.37 acres), 620-450-014 (.45

450-020 (13.67 acres); and
WHEREAS, under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220 -
54234 (“Act”), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by SARDA for which the SARDA
Board takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus land
and not necessary for SARDA’s use. The land must be declared either surplus or exempt
surplus land; and
WHEREAS, under the Act, land is necessary for SARDA’s use if the land is being
used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the SARDA Board
for SARDA work or operations; and
WHEREAS, the Properties, which are vacant, are not being used for SARDA work
or operations and SARDA staff has evaluated the Properties for its potential to be used
for SARDA work or operations; and
WHEREAS, SARDA staff has determined that the Properties are not suitable for
SARDA’s use; and
WHEREAS, the SARDA Board desires to declare that the Properties are surplus
land and not necessary for SARDA’s use; and
WHEREAS, the Act requires that before the SARDA Board disposes of the
Properties or engages in negotiations to dispose of the Propert ies, SARDA shall send a
written notice of availability of the Properties to certain designated entities in accordance
with the Act;
NOW, THEREFORE, the SARDA Board hereby resolves as follows:

Resolution No. SA-RDA 100 Page 2
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of
this Resolution.
SECTION 2. The SARDA Board hereby declares that the Properties are surplus
land and not necessary for SARDA’s use within the meaning of the Act. The basis for this
declaration is that due to the size, location, and development on the Propert ies, the site
is not feasible for SARDA’s use.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a notice of availability of the
Properties for sale, to the entities designated in Government Code Section 54222
(“Designated Entities”) by electronic mail or by certified mail.
SECTION 4. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability
of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et
seq.) (“CEQA”). SARDA staff has determined that the designation of the Propert ies as
surplus land does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the
environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQ A
Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Propert ies are sold to a
purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for the se Properties that requires a
discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the
appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk is directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.
SECTION 6. The officers and staff of SARDA are hereby authorized, jointly and
severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the
purposes of the Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and
confirmed. Such actions include negotiating in good faith in accordance with the
requirements of the Act with any of the Designated Entities that submit a written notice of
interest to purchase the Properties in compliance with the Act.
