Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2021-03 <br />December 7, 2021 <br />Page 2 <br />• Require an affirmative vote by 5 members of the City Council in order to modify <br />the in -lieu fee structure and the local skilled and train workforce provision. <br />• Incorporate a local density bonus provision for for -sale units only. <br />For ease of review, a redline version of the adopted Ordinance presented at the first <br />reading on November 16, 2021 is attached (Exhibit 1) reflecting the necessary changes <br />and conforming modifications. The clean version of this Ordinance is attached as Exhibit <br />2. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. It is recommended that the <br />City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of <br />the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable <br />indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility it will have a <br />significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project", as defined in Section 15378 <br />of the CEQA Guidelines. Furthermore, even if the proposed Ordinance is considered a <br />project, it falls within the "common sense" CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines <br />Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where "it can be seen with certainty that there is <br />no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the <br />environment." Adoption of this Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the <br />environment because the proposed changes will only modernize, update, and clarify <br />existing affordable and inclusionary housing requirements responding to the current <br />economic and housing trends in the City and will not cause a physical change in the <br />environment. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
