Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
DA 2025-001 has been determined exempt as it does not constitute a “project,” does not commit the City to a definite course of action, does not constitute discretionary approval of a specific project, and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and in the alternative, is exempt as it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. In addition, on December 7, 2021, the City Council approved a Resolution making certain findings and approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and approving a General Plan Amendment (GPA 2021-02) to change the land use designation of the properties to Mixed-Use (MX). On December 7, 2021, the City Council also adopted an ordinance to rezone the properties to Mixed Use (MX).
