Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15061
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 in that the amendments do not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment, and are not subject to CEQA review
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15183
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, as a project consistent with the development densities in the general plan and existing zoning and which does not involve any peculiar significant effects that were not previously analyzed or discussed as significant effects in prior EIRs on the General Plan and/or zoning with which the project is consistent. In addition, there are no previously identified significant effects which are substantially more severe than analyzed in in the prior EIR(s) or cannot be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards applied on a citywide basis. Many of the amendments proposed are necessary to conform the FMC to State law, or are regulations intended to protect the environment. Any conceivable impact of the proposed amendments would be too speculative for reasoned analysis in the absence of specific development proposals.
