F-2(c) BY THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MAY 1 4199() Adopt Resolution Number 90- authorizing the application of grant funds available under the provisions of the California Wildlife Coastal and Park Land Conservation Act of 1988 to be applied to a proposed project for Fiscal Year 1990-91 for the Oasis Senior Center Building Expansion. ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: This project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing Facilities), based upon the fact that the addition to the facility is less than 10,000 sq. ft. and the project is in an area which is not environmentally sensitive and where all public services are available. nT SDI ICS TON The City of Newport Beach is entitled to an allocation of $203,000 under the Per Capita Program of the 1988 California Wildlife, Coastal and Park Land Conservation Act. This bond program was passed by the electorate during a recent primary election process by a wide margin. It enables public agencies to identify projects in their community that will improve service and aids in acquisition or development of park land. The Department has been working with the Friends of Oasis for some time to develop a comprehensive Master Plan and building expansion for the existing multi -purpose room. This project will complete the facility and provide an improved building, parking lot and new community gardens. The William Blurock Partnership has prepared preliminary plans for this project that have been reviewed and approved by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission. Positive action by the City Council on this subject will allow the staff to prepare the application and project in a timely fashion as it relates to our Capital Improve- ment process for the 1990-91 budget.
