Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City Council has reviewed and considered the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) for the General Plan certified by the City Council on April 12, 2005 (State Clearinghouse No. 2003061041), including the impacts and mitigation measures identified therein. Staff has also reviewed Addendum 2021-01 to the FEIR which was prepared and adopted in connection with the City Council’s adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element on February 8, 2022. These Ordinances implement the programs set forth in the certified Housing Element which the City Council committed to when it adopted the Housing Element. As such, this is an implementing action of an already approved project (adoption of the Housing Element), and no further environmental review is required. To the extent that any further environmental review is required, the City Council finds that none of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present to require the preparation of a subsequent EIR or an additional Addendum, and no additional environmental review is required. The adoption of this Ordinance does not result in any new or greater environmental impacts than were previously analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated since the adoption of this Ordinance was contemplated in the programs of the Housing Element. In addition, no new information of substantial importance has surfaced since the certification of the General Plan EIR or the adoption of Addendum 2021-01. Lastly, the ADU update Ordinance is exempt from CEQA per Public Resources Code Section 21080.17.
