ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: PROPOSED CLASS 19 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: Based on section 15319 of the California Environmental Quality Act the project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt from the CEQA Review process and that no additional environmental review is required.

GENERAL PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT 99009 (1999 CYCLE 3) The proposed project consists of a staff initiated amendment to the text of the General Plan Land Use Element Section H.C.5.b. The proposed Text Amendment would add a new provision for the City to provide sewer service outside of the Urban Services Line (USL). The proposed amendment would apply to areas beyond the USL that meet the following three criteria: (1) where soils have inadequate septic system suitability, and (2) where there is no practical way of repairing existing failing septic systems, and (3) where the provision of sewer service would not be growth inducing. The purpose of the amendment is to allow the City to provide sewer service within the Suburban Single Family Land Use Area where there is a history of septic system failures and the potential for water pollution and a threat to public health. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: PROPOSED SECTION 15061.b.3. STATUTORY EXEMPTION: Based on Section 15061.b.3. of the California Environmental Quality Act the project has been determined to be Statutorily Exempt from the CEQA Review process and that no additional environmental review is required. The Section 15061.b.3. Statutory Exemption pertains to project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility for a significant environmental impact resulting. The project description limits the provision of sewer service only to areas with failed septic systems and where additional growth would not result. Staff Recommends approval of the project.
