Title
A Request to Modify the Categorical Exclusion Order to Exclude Some Residential Dwellings from Coastal Development Permit Requirements
Recommendation
a) Find the action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction), Section 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and Section 15332 (Class 32 -- Infill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
b) Direct staff to submit to the California Coastal Commission a modification to Categorical Exclusion Order CE-5-NPB-16-1 that will exclude single-unit and two-unit dwelling units with floor area limits of 2.0 times the buildable area from the permit requirements of the California Coastal Act.
