11 PUBLIC HEARINGS
A Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting Resolution No. 23-02 – A Resolution denying Artesia Enterprises, LLC’s appeal of the Planning Commission’s denial of a Notice of Nonconformity Abatement appeal for automobile sales and automobile repair center on property located at 9103-9115 Artesia Boulevard.
CEQA: The proposed actions are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.; “CEQA Guidelines”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §§ 15061(b)(3), 15321(a), and 15378(b)(4-5) because they: do not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that such action may have a significant effect on the environment; involve an enforcement action of a specific use on the Property; and do not constitute a “project” requiring environmental review.
Recommendation to City Council: 1) Open the public hearing, take testimonial and documentary evidence and, after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 23-02 denying the appeal; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
