That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of <br />the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed <br />use. <br />The proposed banquet facility at this location will not <br />adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan.

Operational standards and the <br />recorded property maintenance agreement will help maintain <br />a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Policy <br />5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that <br />is compatible with and supports surrounding land uses. The <br />Place Banquet Hall is located within a commercial zone and <br />its operations are compatible with the surrounding <br />commercial businesses. <br />Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) <br />and the CEQA Guidelines, the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section <br />15061(b) (3). This exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that <br />there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the <br />environment. The project proposes to allow a banquet facility at an existing building. <br />There is no reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the <br />environment due to the facility having the necessary infrastructure to operate the <br />proposed use and no new expansion of the existing building is proposed. Based on this <br />analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2019-97, will be filed for this <br />project. <br />Section 3.
