The related amendments not specifically related to the State law are considered exempt from CEQA as there is no possibility of a significant impact on the environment, per Section 15061(b)(3), because the proposed zoning amendments are minor changes that would not substantially increase the intensity or the use of the structures.

Reintroduce the ordinance with changes. 2. Do not adopt the ordinance. ATTACHMENTS A. ADU Ordinance B. July 22, 2019 City Council ADU Staff Report C.
