All other terms and conditions of the Lease will remain unchanged.
The project to approve the Amendment was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt under Section 15301 - Class 1 Existing Facilities because the proposed Lease is to secure property to operate within the existing structure with negligible or no expansion of existing use.
