ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In February 2014, the City Council found the approval of the project categorically
exempt pursuant to Section 15302, of the CEQA Guidelines - Class 2 (Replacement or
Reconstruction), which exempts the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures
and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure
replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure
replaced. The existing building would be demolished and a new facility would be
constructed with approximately the same building footprint with only a minor increase in
floor area. The existing yacht club use would remain the same, with minimal or no
proposed changes in the use, membership, or operational characteristics.
Staff recommends the City Council find this action exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 of the CEQA Guidelines,
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have
a significant effect on the environment for the reasons cited previously.
