CD 4 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) appeal filed by the Bronholly and
Carolus Residents Coalition, for the Project located at 2669 North
Bronholly Drive.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. GRANT the appeal by the Bronholly and Carolus Residents
Coalition submitted on April 28, 2022 for the project located at 2669
North Bronholly Drive.
2. DETERMINE based on the whole of the administrative record, that
the record does not support a finding that no reasonable possibility
exists that the Project will not have a significant effect on the
environment due to unusual circumstances as required by CEQA
Guideline section 15300.2(c). In particular, because no biologist’s
report was submitted by the Applicant, no evidence exists in the
record of the Project’s impacts to protected trees or protected
wildlife that may be impacted by the Project. As a result, insufficient
record evidence exists to support a finding that either categorical
exemption identified by the Notice of Exemption (NOE) applies.
3. RESCIND the NOE.

Services (BSS) for further consideration consistent with the BSS
report dated September 15, 2022, attached to the Council file, and
