RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt an ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 2020-010 and amending the following sections of Title 17: Section 17.210 - Residential Zoning Districts, 17.300 - General Property Development and Use Standards, 17.320 - Off-Street Parking and Loading, and 17.400 - Standards for Specific Land Uses.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 2024, the City Council unanimously introduced the proposed Ordinance, Zoning Code Amendment P2023-0330-ZCA. Due to court-ordered time constraints, the Planning Commission did not review this item, but the changes proposed are consistent with more comprehensive amendments previously reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the adoption of Ordinance 2020-010.
The proposed ordinance is presented for adoption by the City Council
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The proposed Zoning Code Amendment, P2023-0330-ZCA, is considered exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). This section is the "common sense exemption" that states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. If the Lead Agency can determine with that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed repeal of Ordinance No. 2020-010 and the reintroduction of the limited items will not have a significant effect on the environment because they make minimal changes to the development capacity on parcels in the R1 neighborhood. Any individual development project would be studied for significant impacts on the environment.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the proposed ordinance approving the subject Zoning Code Amendment.
