THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
FIND AND RESOLVE
Section 1. On January 17, 2017 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing to consider Zone Text Amendment 17 -1, which would amend Title 11
Chapter 11.4.100 (Medical Marijuana) of Part IV, amending Table 11.2.05.010 and
Table 11.2.10.010 of Part II OF TITLE II OF THE SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO
RETAIN EXISTING PROHIBITIONS ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA, TO PROHIBIT ALL
MARIJUANA USES, AND TO PROHIBIT MARIJUANA CULTIVATION WITH LIMITED
EXCEPTIONS FOR INDOOR CULTIVATION IN PRIVATE RESIDENCES, IN ALL
ZONING DISTRICTS AND SPECIFIC PLAN AREAS OF THE CITY as set forth in the
draft ordinance included as Exhibit "A ".
Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public
Resources Code § 21000 at seq., ( "CEQA ") and the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 C.C.R.
§ 15000 at seq., the Planning Department has determined that the proposed Ordinance
(Zone Text Amendment 17 -1) is exempt from review under CEQA and the State CEQA
Guidelines, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed prohibition on all marijuana
uses and all outdoor marijuana cultivation, and all indoor cultivation with limited
exceptions for indoor cultivation in private residences, within the City's jurisdiction will
have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed ordinance imposes greater
limitations on uses and activities allowed in the City, and will thereby serve to eliminate
potential significant adverse environmental impacts. The proposed ordinance will not
have an impact on the physical environment as they will not result in any changes to the
environment. The proposed project is an administrative process of the City that will not
result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
