Reasons for Exemption
Reasons why project is exempt: Willow Springs Park is a natural resource park which has a series of bio swales and restored seasonal wetlands along with 10-acres of habitat with native plants and trees. There is a constructed spring which mimics the original artesian spring that provided water to early Long Beach. A water retention basin cleans and diverts water to be reused on-site.

Section 15061 -- Common Sense Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
The zone change and code amendment themselves will not have an impact upon the environment as they are bringing consistency between the General Plan PlaceType, the Zoning and 'use' of the properties.
