4-B. A CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CITY-WIDE FEES RELATED TO THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE It is recommended that the City Council consider: (1) (2) Adopting a resolution establishing the formula to calculate in-lieu fees and fees associated with the calculation of in-lieu fees for the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; and (3) Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable. CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act): Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and its implementing regulations (14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15000, et seq.; the "CEQA Guidelines”), the proposed fee resolution is categorically exempt from further CEQA review for the following reasons: (1) they will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines § 15060(c)(2)); (2) there is no possibility that the may have a significant effect on the environment because any potential, future, housing projects would undergo separate environmental review (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Resolution, by itself, does not constitute a “project” as defined in the CEQA Guidelines because it involves a policy action that is legislative implementing affordable housing policy and affects prospective future housing development to comply with Housing Element Program 15 (CEQA Guidelines § 15378).
