SECTION 2. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty
that the project will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment because the project involves changes to the Zoning Map and text of the Zoning
Ordinance to bring them into conformance with the City's 2013-2021 General Plan Housing
Element, and no physical changes to the environment are involved.
SECTION 3. The City Council finds that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code
and Zoning Map are consistent with the City's General Plan because they will remove the
Affordable Housing Overlay zoning district, which was not included in the 2013-2021 General
Plan Housing Element, due to the reduction in the City's Regional Housing Need Allocation from
562 units to 2 units.
SECTION 4. In accordance with Section 65863(b) of the Government Code, a city may
not reduce the allowable general plan or zoning density of any residentially designated parcel or
approve a project with a density below the density that was utilized by the Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) when determining whether the city's housing element
complied with state law unless the city makes both of the following findings, supported by
substantial evidence:
• The proposed reduction in density is consistent with the General Plan, including
the Housing Element, because the 2013-2021 Housing Element did not include the Affordable
Housing Overlay (AH-O) zoning district due to action at that time by the Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) to reduce the City's Regional Housing Need Allocation
(RHNA) from five hundred sixty-two (562) units to two (2) units for the 2013-2021 period.
• The remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to
accommodate the jurisdiction's share of the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA), because
the RHNA of five hundred sixty-two (562) units for the period 2008-2014 was reduced to two (2)
units for the period 2013-2021, and two (2) units can be accommodated by the small residentially
zoned lots that dominate the majority of the city's residential land area.
