Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
<br />(CEQA), the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant
<br />to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) which consists of the operation,
<br />repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public
<br />or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features,
<br />involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead
<br />agency's determination. The proposed project does not involve a change in use or
<br />expansion of use and it is to allow the operation of a secondhand store with minor
<br />proposed tenant improvements. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption,
<br />Environmental Review No. 2019-16, will be filed for this project.
<br />Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
<br />and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies,
<br />authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims,
<br />demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, and other and proceedings (whether legal,
<br />equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute
<br />resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such
<br />other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively "Actions"), brought
<br />against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments,
<br />agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set
<br />aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or
<br />any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
<br />instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or
<br />concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown
<br />Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision
<br />Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or
<br />local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a
<br />court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to
<br />approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing
<br />the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and
<br />expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense.
<br />City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate
<br />with Applicant in the defense of the Action.
