Statutory Exemptions. State code number: 15262, 15283 Other General Rule Exemption: 15061(b)(3) Reasons why project is exempt:
The Project implements the requirements of State law and accommodates development that is mandated by the State. The City's inventory of sites is adequate to accommodate its housing needs, based on the existing General Plan designations and zoning, and the Project does no require the rezoning of sites. The Project does not entitle future development projects and does not establish the type or design of future projects. The City does not have the discretion to disapprove housing projects that are mandated to be accommodated by State law. Therefore, the Project would not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. See 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, Environmental Determination, for further details.
