Zoning Code Amendments
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
review, because it has no potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the
Environment. The Ordinance does not authorize any specific development or installation on
any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries. Moreover, when and if an
application for installation is submitted, the City will at that time conduct preliminary review of
the application in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the Ordinance is a “project”
within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the Ordinance is exempt from
CEQA on multiple grounds. First, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because approval of
the Ordinance will not result in the actual installation of any facilities in the City; therefore, it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant
effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)). Alternatively, the
Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines sections 15301
(existing facilities), 15302 (replacement or reconstruction), 15303 (new construction or
conversion of small structures), and/or 15304 (minor alterations to land); and
B.
Adopt Ordinance No. 1309, which amends the Zoning Code to regulate wireless telecommunication facilities. |
