WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
involving a density bonus transfer from a rental to a for-sale development and the conversion of

exemption pursuant to Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of the State CEQA
Guidelines because the proposed project meets the conditions set forth in this section. Thus, no
further environmental review is necessary.
