We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to a new review and required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition, mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints. Approval of this site plan expires on February 27, 2015 (2 years from the decision date), unless building permits have been issued, or on projects not requiring a building permit, the use has commenced. The project must be completed within 5 years from the decision date. If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date for the rezoning unless the use is permitted in the new zone. The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one (1) year if you resubmit new plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and include a written request for the extension. We must receive this request before expiration of the project approval.

This project is exempt because if is an infill development that is consistent with the general plan and zoning regulations, is within an area predominantly developed with urban uses, is not identified as critical habitat for endangered or threatened species, will not significantly affect traffic noise, air or water quality, and will be adequately served by appropriate utilities and public services. A Nofice of Exemption has been prepared and is available for review at the Planning Division (see cover sheet for address). Any person may appeal this decision. An appeal is limited to whether or not an adopted development standard, zoning regulafion, mitigation, or policy applied or not applied to the project, was done consistent with the authority granted by city ordinances or the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
