Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
21080.17
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code and the General Plan Amendment to the DSP implements the provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22, second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone, and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15282(h). Moreover, this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15060(c)(1), as it implements provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852,22, which require ministerial review and approval of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, and, therefore, does not involve the exercise of discretionary powers by the City.
