warehouse facility with ancillary retail and delivery services at
<br />this location will be compatible with the surrounding
<br />businesses as it supports the light industrial environment and
<br />may reduce vehicle trips made to establishments that offer
<br />similar products since residents would have the option to have
<br />their orders delivered. Moreover, its operations are compatible
<br />with the surrounding industrial businesses.
<br />Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
<br />and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per
<br />Section 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation,
<br />repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or
<br />private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving
<br />negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The project proposes to allow the
<br />sale of alcoholic beverages for off -premise consumption and after-hours operations of a
<br />storage and warehouse facility with ancillary retail and delivery services within an existing
<br />light industrial building. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-
<br />2, will be filed for this project.
<br />Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or
<br />any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized
<br />volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands,
<br />lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other 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 the legal counsel providing the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse
<br />the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the
<br />course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and
<br />City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action.
