13 ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may choose to deny the appeal and approve a modified project design. 2. The City Council may choose to continue the item to a future meeting and direct Staff and/or the Applicant to provide additional information or analysis. 3. The City Council may uphold the appeal and overturn the Planning Commission’s project approval. FISCAL IMPACT Review of the proposed project is subject to the City’s Cost Recovery System, therefore, direct costs during the entitlement process associated with staff and consultant time are covered by an applicant deposit. Should the appeals be denied and the project approved, the Applicant will be required to pay all associated development impact and permitting fees, as applicable and as established by ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Section 15332, Class 32, “Infill Development Projects,” because the project meets the General Plan and zoning regulations, is on a lot less than 5 acres within an urban context, does not contain habitat for endangered species, and would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. State Density Bonus law concessions and waivers are not considered inconsistencies with General Plan and zoning standards for purposes of this CEQA exemption. Staff has reviewed and confirmed the conclusions of the technical studies supporting these determinations as stated in the CEQA Compliance and Exemption Determination.
