It can be seen with certainty that <br />the proposed ordinances as it relates to retail cannabis use permitted by right do not have the potential <br />to cause a significant impact on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)). Retail uses are <br />currently permitted by right in those particular zoning districts. Any potential impacts, including traffic, <br />water, energy or air pollution are substantially similar to what is currently permitted by right. <br />In addition, conditionally allowing retail uses in the Industrial Zoning Districts are statutorily exempt from <br />the requirements of CEQA (Bus. & Prof. Section 26055(h)) because they will require a Conditional Use <br />Permit. This section states that CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance, rule or regulation <br />by a local jurisdiction that requires discretionary review and approval of other permits or licenses. To <br />qualify for this exemption, environmental review must be performed as part of the discretionary permit. <br />Additional CEQA analysis is in the attached memo in Attachment C. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Page 11 of 12 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />484 <br />
