ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under
Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment;
therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Thus, no environmental review is required.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not
applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict
of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any Councilmember, of any other fact that
may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
