State law restricts the City Planning Commission from taking action on an item unless it has been included on an agenda and posted at least 72 hours in advance of a meeting, or unless the matter falls within one of the narrow exceptions. Consequently, any item not listed on this agenda will normally have to be delayed until the item can be made part of a posted agenda.

The Planning Division of the Community & Economic Development Department is recommending that the Planning Commission determine that this proposal is categorically exempt from further California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code and application of the Residential Protection Overlay Zone will have a significant effect on the environment.
