Recitals. A. Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 11.2.05.015 (Development Standards for Residential Districts) sets forth development standards in residential districts, including height restrictions. Amendment to this section is necessary because the height restriction in the RHD-20 zone has not been updated pursuant to Ordinance 1646, which was adopted by City Council on July 13, 2015. B. SBMC Section, 11.2.10.010 (Commercial Land Use Regulation) sets forth commercial land use regulations in commercial and mixed-use districts. Amendment to this section is necessary because several uses subject to a Minor Use Permit have been misidentified by the letter designation "A" rather than "M" (Minor Use Permit) within Table 11.2.10.010. C. SBMC Section 11.2.10.015 (Development Standards — Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts) sets forth the development standards for commercial and mixed- use districts. Amendment to this section is necessary because the Street Frontage Building Setback standard in Table 11.2.10.015.C.1 has been erroneously listed with the Height standard for the Service Commercial District II and General Commercial District II zones. D. SBMC Section 11.4.20.015 (Required Off Street Parking Spaces) sets forth parking standards in residential districts. Amendment to this section is necessary due to the recent enactment of Government Code Section 65863.3 (Assembly Bill ("AB") 1308, Stat. of 2023, C. 749), which now prohibits local agencies including charter cities from increasing the minimum parking requirement of a single-family residence as a condition of approving a project to remodel, renovate, or add to the residence. Exceptions apply, if projects exceed maximum size limits imposed by zoning regulations. E. Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.4.20.020 (Parking Reductions) sets forth standards in Shared Parking Agreements. Amendment to this section is necessary as a result of the enactment of Government Code Section 65863.3 1 (AB 894, Stat. of 2023, C. 749), which now requires local agencies including charter cities to administratively approve Shared Parking Agreements for new and existing development that meet the State mandated requirements for Shared Parking Agreement documents and development criteria. Section 2. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Seal Beach does hereby find, determine, and declare that: A. On July 1, 2024, the Planning Commission considered this Ordinance at a duly noticed public hearing, as prescribed by law, at which time City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support of or against this matter. B. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 24-05, recommending approval of the Ordinance by the City Council. C. The City Council, at a regular meeting, considered the Ordinance on July 22, 2024, at a duly noticed public hearing, as prescribed by law, at which time City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support of or against this matter. D. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered the entire record of information received at the public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. Section 3. California Environmental Quality Act Exemption. The City Council hereby determines that this Ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., ("CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because the zone text amendment clarifies and eliminates inconsistencies and erroneous information with respect to existing residential and commercial development standards and consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing regulations and specification of procedures related thereto for the new construction of residential and commercial structures. The amendment, therefore, is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15301, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Section 4. Consistency Findings. In approving the proposed Zoning Code amendment, the City Council hereby makes the following findings that the Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan: A. The proposed Code Amendment is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Element Goal and Policy: 2 1. Features of the Community: A goal of the City is to maintain and promote those social and physical qualities that enhance the character of the community and the environment in which we live. B. The proposed amendments are also consistent with Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, will not have an impact either individually or cumulatively on coastal resources, and do not involve any change in existing or proposed use of land or water.
