Commissi.Pn at the public hearing held on September 18, 2017,-·support the following
findings:
1 . That the proposed amendment is consist~nt with General Plan policy, because
accessory structures are already a permitted use ·in residential zones and the
amendment would only serve to increase the amount of accessory structures
permitted on residential properties by a relatively small amount; no increase in the
number of units or in allowable densities would result from the change. In addition,
the maximum lot coverage ·of 75% will remain.
2. That the proposed amendment has been reviewed to be 'n compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the project is not considered a project
under CEQA, as any changes would . be in relation to ministerial projects, which are
exempt from the application of CEQA per Section 21 080 of the Public Resources
Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Reso l ution be transmitted
forthwith to the applicant and to the City Council.
