THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:
A. The Planning Commission of the City of Burbank at its regular meeting of January 13, 2025, held a public hearing on Project No. 24-0001518, a proposed Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) and related Code Text Amendment to implement Burbank 2021- 2029 Housing Element Housing Plan Program No. 22 related to the update of project appeal procedures, and making other related amendments to align the City's environmental review and Planning Commission notice of public hearing procedures with State law.
B. Said hearing was properly noticed in accordance with the provisions of Burbank Municipal Code Section 10-1-1994 and California Government Code Section 65854(b)(2).
C. The Planning Commission considered the report and recommendations of the City Planner and the evidence presented at such hearing.
D. The Planning Commission has reviewed the City Planner's environmental assessment and concurs that the proposed Ordinance, including the ZTA, is covered by the "common-sense exemption" that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b )(3)). No unusual circumstances exist that would preclude the use of this exemption. Furthermore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the proposed Ordinance is not considered a "project" subject to the requirements of CEQA because the Ordinance has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and instead involves administrative and procedural updates to the Burbank Municipal Code. As such, the adoption of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA and no further analysis under the CEQA is required. 1 ATTACHMENT 6 - 1
