would require reconfiguration, reducing habitable interior <br />space and potentially bedroom counts. Expanding balconies, <br />especially if cantilevered over the private drive, could impede <br />emergency vehicle access, raising safety concerns. These <br />changes would disrupt the efficient stacked floor plan design, <br />affecting the development's livability and unit mix. <br />Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), <br />the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential <br />Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 <br />(Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites <br />that: <br />1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the <br />requirement in section15192(b) regarding community -level environmental review, <br />such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead <br />agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section <br />65943 of the Government Code. <br />2. Meet both of the following size criteria: <br />A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area. <br />B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 <br />square feet. <br />3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location: <br />A. The project is a residential project on an infill site. <br />B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop. <br />4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units: <br />A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units. <br />B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may <br />establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher <br />density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: <br />1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively <br />presumed to promote higher density infill housing. <br />2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density <br />greater than the average density of the residential properties within <br />1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing <br />unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise. <br />5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The <br />project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very <br />low income families as set forth in either A or B below: <br />A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer <br />provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure <br />the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at <br />monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) <br />of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code. <br />1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate <br />income, or <br />Resolution No. 2024-xx <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
