Section 2 Pursuantto 14 Calif Code of Regs ~ 15025(a) and ~ II B of the
City's Local CEQA Guidelines, staff has determined as follows' The application for Minor Plan
Review 93-3 is categorically exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act pursuant to 14 Calif Code of Regs ~ 15301 (Existing Uses), because it involves the
negligible expansion of an existing use, pursuant to ~ 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations), because the proposal involves a minor alteration in a land use limitation and does not
involve either a property in excess of20% slope or a change in land use or density, and finally,
pursuant to ~ 15061 (b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
