THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. At its meeting of April 6, 2005, the Planning Commission

lJ Delete exception allowing courtyard walls in cases according to adjacent
properties.
lJ Allow for courtyard walls, with minimum 6 feet front setback and up to 6 feet
in height and fence/wall height exceptions in certain cases subject to Planning
Commission approval of Minor Plan Review.
Section 2. Pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. ~ 15305, ~ 15268 and
~ 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines, staff has determined as follows: The application for
Zone Text Amendment 05-2 is categorically exempt from review pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. ~ 15305
(Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), because it consists of minor alterations in
land use limitations in average slope of less than 20% and does not result in any changes
in land use or density; ~ 15268 (Ministerial Projects) because the proposed zoning text
amendment is ministerial in nature; and, pursuant to ~ 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the approval may have a significant effect
on the environment.
