Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061 (b) (3)
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, project activities have been determined to be within the scope of activities analyzed in the General Plan Land Use and Urban Design Elements (LUE/UDE) Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2015051054) and will not result in any new significant impacts. The Program EIR analyzed the buildout of the General Plan LUE, which includes PlaceTypes that establish commercial and mixed-use areas in the City of Long Beach, among other uses. The proposed amendment would not change the established PlaceTypes in the LUE nor the buildout of the City of Long Beach. Furthermore, the proposed project introduces a new commercial land use category and associated regulations within established commercial and mixed-use zoning districts. There would be no physical development as a result of the proposed zoning code amendment. Future applications would have a similar form and function as non-cannabis commercial uses in the same zoning districts. Per Section 15061 of the State CEQA Guidelines, it can be seen with certainty that the subject modifications to the City’s Municipal Code would not have the potential for having a effect on the environment.
