A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
ADOPTING THE FEE WAIVER REQUEST BY THE PACIFIC COAST FARMERS
MARKET ASSOCIATION TO HOLD A FRIDAY FARMER'S MARKET
AT CREEKSIDE PARK PARKING LOT
WHEREAS, the PCFMA had been operating its Friday's Farmer's Market at Valko
Shopping Mall for many years; and
WHEREAS, the Vallco Shopping Mall was no longer an available venue as of December
31, 2016; and
WHEREAS, continuing the Friday Farmer's Market provides access to fresh and locally
sourced produce and food items, which encourages a healthy lifestyle; and
WHEREAS, the Farmer's Market would also potentially help reduce the City's
greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint; and
WHEREAS, relocating the Friday Farmer's Market from Valko Shopping Mall to a
convenient location in close proximity does not significantly alter travel for vendors and
shoppers;
WHEREAS, adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act because adoption of a fee waiver is a fiscal activity which is not a project that will
result in physical changes in the environment, either directly or indirectly. (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15378(b )( 4), (5) ).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
Section 1.
That after careful consideration of the facts, exhibits, staff report, and other evidence submitted in
this matter, the City Council does find as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated into this resolution by this
reference.
2. The PCFMA Friday Farmer's Market provides access to fresh and locally sourced
produce and food, which encourages a healthy lifestyle.
