As part of this application, the applicant is also requesting concessions, for the relief of two development standards ( side yard setback and minimum first floor area) in the Light Multiple Residential ( R- 2) zone. The applicant is also proposing to construct two accessory dwelling units ( ADUs), however, the ADUs will be reviewed and approved administratively.

Find that the Project is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Class 32, Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
