To qualify for a AB 130 statutory exemption from CEQA, projects must satisfy certain criteria, including maximum acreage, consistency with applicable zoning and general plan standards, and minimum density.
Table one in the staff report attached here presents a detailed list of these criteria.
In the past six months,
City has approved four projects utilizing the statutory CEQA exemption and several projects are currently under review going through the CEQA process where applicant has expressed interest in utilizing this exemption.
At the January 27th study session, Council directed staff to develop a ministerial process.
While staff continues to work on a ministerial approval process for projects subject to the statutory exemption provided in AB 130, at this time, staff recommends adopting an administrative approval process due to several challenges associated with adopting a ministerial approval procedures
within the time constraints of the current ordinance amendment process.
An administrative approval process involves no public hearing, but it still includes the exercise of discretion where objective standards are not in place to enable a ministerial approval process.
As per the proposed amendments, the projects will also have to meet the courtesy noticing requirements as directed by current council at the January study session.
Once the project is deemed complete, staff will send a courtesy notice to neighbors within 750 foot, informing them about the project under review, and the public will have 10 days to provide input.
Further amendments to update the alternate mitigation approval process to allow administrative approval for non-residential housing impact fees are proposed as part of the current code updates.
Additionally, city's current affordable housing program requires city council approval for an alternative mitigation BMR program.
Changes to this requirement are proposed as part of separate code amendments and those were reviewed by EPC at the March 4th meeting.
There are other minor code amendments which are also proposed tonight.
These are in response to the council input and questions associated with the February 24th council hearing.
These minor updates are specifically for city code compliance with several state legislation, including Assembly Bill 752, State Bill 234, Assembly Bill 2162, and Assembly Bill 101.
These minor code amendments include updating the residential and commercial zone land use table to add a residential accessory use category and rearranging relevant uses under it.
Adding a childcare center co-located with multi-family residential as an allowed use by right subject to the same development standards.
Allow low barrier navigation centers by right in commercial office zoning districts.
update standards for childcare facilities for consistency with the state law, updating general plan mixed-use village center to reduce redundancy, and update the definition of supportive and transitional housing to align with state regulations.
