Amendment Application No. 2014 -03 Variance No. 2014 -03 July 28, 2014 Page 8 CEQA Compliance This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303. This Class 3 exemption allows in -fill developments for the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2014 -07 will be filed for this project. Conclusion Amending the zoning from Light Industrial (M1) to Two - Family Residential (R2) will bring the properties into compliance with the General Plan Land Use designation and is consistent with the zoning on surrounding properties. The removal of the second dwelling unit at 1732 West Second Street eliminates the need for a variance for a reduction in rear yard open space, reduces the density and results in a project that is more harmonious in scale and character with the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve Amendment Application No. 2014 -03 and Variance No. 2014-03 as conditioned.
