4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies for the Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15332 (In-Fill Development Project) because the project involves the construction of development
within City limits on no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. Staff reviewed
noise, air quality(including greenhouse gasses), and biological studies that assessed the potential
impacts of the project and concluded that there would not be any significant effect on the
environment. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The
project is consistent with the applicable General Plan land use designation and policies, and 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 staffs determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
