ITEM EXPLANATION: DEPT. DIRECTO- ClTY ATTORNEY CITY MANAGER AB# 20.146 MTG. 310911 0 DEPT. FIN La Terraza Associates made a payment for business license tax. Subsequently, it provided proof of its non-profit status. Companies that have a non-profit status are exempt from paying business license tax. La Terraza Associates has requested a refund for this overpayment. REFUND TO LA TERRAZA ASSOCIATES FOR BUSINESS LICENSE TAX The Finance Department verified that the business is exempt from business license tax and confirmed the overpayment. Section 5.04.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires Council approval of any refund in excess of $500. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of a refund to La Terraza Associates of $882. FISCAL IMPACT: The payment will result in $882 in refunds. There is no true fiscal impact, as the payment was in error. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA and, therefore, does not require an environmental review.
