from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines

development within city limits on no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
Additionally, approval of the project would not result in any significant effect relating to traffic, noise,
air quality, or water quality. Lastly, the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and
public services and the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all
applicable General Plan polices as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The
Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department determination of exemption, and
based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff's determination of exemption.
