WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the staff report and the findings that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code are exempt from environmental review under subsections (b)(3) of Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines because the General Rule exemption states that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment that the activity is not subject to CEQA. In addition, CEQA defines "project" as an activity that may result in a direct physical change in the environment. Updating the City of San Leandro Zoning Code in the manner described herein does not alter the existing zoning regulations in any substantive manner such that there is a possibility for the amendments to result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment or cause any significant environmental effects; and WHEREAS,the final General Plan and the Zoning Code are incorporated herein by reference, and are available for review at City Hall during normal business hours.
