Ordinance, including the orderly planned use of land resources.
SECTION 4. CEQA. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), because CEQA

15061 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061 states that CEQA applies only to projects that have
the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No possibility exists that the zone
text amendments will have a significant effect on the environment because the zone text
amendments allow for approval of professionals to obtain business licenses for home-based
businesses only.

passage and adoption pursuant to California Government Code section 36937.
