Entertainment. These text amendments clarify the provisions applicable to
entertainment uses.
SECTION 2. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1), because
CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects proposed to be carried out or approved by
public agencies. The project is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it allows for
approval of limited live entertainment within approved businesses only. Additionally, the
zone text changes are Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 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 proposed zone text amendments will
have a significant effect on the environment because the zone text amendments will
create standards for limited live entertainment permits.
SECTION 3. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed amendments to
!he Municipal Code to allow Limited Live Entertainment are consistent with the City's
General Plan on to support the vibrant local economy and Land Use Policy 1.4 for
Diverse Commercial Areas. The ordinance also furthers the general purpose of the
zoning ordinance to address and review standards and criteria to assure compatibility as
accessory uses within existing businesses. The amendments will not impede the City's
ability to meet its General Plan goals, and the amendments are necessary to carry out the
purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, including the orderly planned use of land resources.
