Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21084 et. seq.), the guidelines include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The Hearing Body will consider adopting a Categorical Exemption in compliance with Section 15332, Class 32 (In-Fill Development) in that the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable policies on a site less than five acres; and Section 15331, Class 31 in that the project is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Rehabilitation Standards as required for work on a Historic Resource. The proposed project described above hereby meets the guidelines for a Categorical Exemption, therefore no further environmental review is required. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Development Services Director approve the Development Plan Review, and that the Historic Preservation Commission approve the Major Certificate of Appropriateness, both as presented in the draft approving resolutions.
