Findings. A. On August 8, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted the revised 2021-2029 Housing Element; and B. State law now requires all required rezonings to implement the Housing Element programs to be included in order for the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to certify the Housing Element. C. The revised Housing Element includes a Sites Inventory which lists sites meeting State law criteria for housing development to accomplish the assisted Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). In order to realize the housing capacity anticipated by the Housing Element, certain properties must be rezoned to allow appropriate density. D. PLAN Hermosa created a Public Facility land use designation to accommodate sites with public buildings currently developed with the Civic Center, including City Hall and associated grounds, library, fire station, and the community center. Most civic center locations are currently zoned Open Space (OS), which is not consistent with the PF land use designation. Zoning is required to be consistent with the General Plan. Two of the Civic DocuSign Envelope ID: 0004844F-97C5-423E-BEFB-E7FE9B08519C Page 2 of 7 ORD NO. 23-1470 Center sites are listed on the Sites Inventory as potentially accommodating housing development. As such, these properties must be rezoned to allow for alignment with the General Plan. E. On September 19, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Zone Changes associated with the revised 2021-2029 Housing Element, and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Zone Changes. SECTION 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City has evaluated the proposed Zone Change and concludes, based on substantial evidence in the record, that the proposed changes would not trigger any of the conditions set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 in that the revisions would not result in any new significant environmental impacts nor substantially increase the severity of any significant impacts described in the PLAN Hermosa EIR (State Clearinghouse Number 2015081009), certified on August 22, 2017. Preparation of an EIR Addendum is appropriate, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and an EIR Addendum has been prepared, dated September 14, 2023, as the City has evaluated the Zone Changes and concluded, based on substantial evidence in the record, that the Zone Changes would not trigger any of the conditions set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. The revised Housing Element would not result in any new significant environmental impacts nor substantially increase the severity of any significant impacts described in the PLAN Hermosa EIR. The PLAN Hermosa certified EIR, findings, Mitigation and Monitoring Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations, are hereby incorporated by reference. SECTION 3.
