Council District(s) Affected: Citywide.
Proposed Actions:
Subitem-A: (R-2022-219)
Resolution determining that the amendments to the San Diego Municipal Code relating to accepting the California Coastal Commission's suggested modifications required for certification of the City's Inclusionary Affordable Housing Regulations are not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Subitem-B: (O-2022-68)
Introduction of an Ordinance amending Chapter 14, Article 2, Division 13 of the San Diego Municipal Code by amending Sections 142.1302, 142.1305, and 142.1307, relating to accepting the California Coastal Commission’s suggested modifications required for certification of the City's Inclusionary Affordable Housing Regulations.
