9. CALL FOR REVIEW OF THE ARTS & CULTURE COMMISSION’S DECISION TO DISAPPROVE THE PROPOSED ARTIST AND CONCEPT ART PLAN FOR 2915 EAST COLORADO BOULEVARD (PASADENA RUSNAK PORSCHE) (Planning Dept.) Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: (1) Find that the overall project was subject to environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

In addition, the proposed onsite public artwork is categorically exempt from CEQA per Section 15303 (Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the Government Code; and (2) Adopt the findings in Attachment A of the agenda report to uphold Staff’s recommendation and approve the proposed Artist and Concept Art Plan, with the conditions in Attachment B of the agenda report.
