The Community and Economic Development Department recommends the Planning Commission determine that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Sections 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility the proposed amendment will have a significant effect on the environment.

The proposed 2014-2021 Housing Element Update Project is a comprehensive update of the adopted Housing Element. In general, the Housing Element identifies and analyzes the existing and projected housing needs, and articulates the City’s official policies for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and production of housing within the City. It examines the City’s housing needs, as they exist today, and projects future housing needs. The Housing Element also sets forth statements of community goals, objectives, and policies concerning those needs, and includes a housing policy program that responds to current and future needs within the limitations posed by available resources. The Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of the Eighth Addendum to the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) for the General Plan 2025 Program, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act Section 15164, as it can be found that this proposed project will not result in significant impacts beyond what was analyzed within the FPEIR.
