Recommendation
Alternative 1: Acknowledge the Planning Commission’s Determination required by Resolution No. 371-81 (Attachment 8 to the Report); and, Alternative 2: Accept the Addendum to the previously certified Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15164 and Adopt a Resolution to amend the Lakeside Specific Plan (Attachment 4 to the Report); Approve a modification to a condition of approval for Special Development Permit 2015-7576 (Attachment 5 to the Report); and Introduce an Ordinance for a Post Entitlement Development Agreement between the City and Sunnyvale Partners.

The current economic situation has added uncertainty in the hotel industry. The amendment to the LSP considers this uncertainty and provides the City a mechanism to achieve alternative community benefits. The modification to the Condition of Approval of the SDP implements the amendment to the LSP and the PEDA places clear obligations on the Developer for the alternative community benefits.
