Type, Section or Code

Reasons for Exemption
The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), as the Project is a request for modifications of a previously entitled development for which a EIR (City File No. ENV18-0005) was adopted in accordance with CEQA and a Notice of Determination posted with the County Clerk. Therefore, the Project qualifies under the “Common Sense” as the Project has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, as described in Section 15061(b)(3).
Reasons why project is exempt: Modifications to the Precise Development Plans are consistent with the approved City Council SUB18-0005 and SUB20-0007. This exemption is appropriate for the Project because minor modifications that are in compliance with the intent and required improvements. The Project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for requested development permissible in the General Plan; and the Project will be required to complete all mitigation measures and conditions of approval applied to the Project.
