Reasons for Exemption
The project approvals are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Placer County Code Section 17.49.010(E) and Section 65583.2(i) of the Government Code, which makes owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use “by right” for developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income households. Because at least 20 percent of the project’s units are designated for lower-income households, the project is exempt from CEQA as a “use by right” project.
