PROJECT SUMMARY
Establish and appoint members to a Planning Commission subcommittee to assist City
staff in reviewing the City Council L -Policies "Public Works/Traffic/Utilities." Changes
proposed to the policies will be presented as recommendations to the City Council at a
yet to be determined date.
RECOMMENDATION
1) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines,
because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
2) Form a subcommittee and authorize the Chair to appoint up to three Planning
Commissioners to assist City staff in reviewing the City Council L -Policies "Public
Works/Traffic/Utilities."
Background
At its August 2017 meeting, the City Council requested the Planning Commission review
the City Council L -Policies "Public Works/Traffic/Utilities" (Attachment PC 1) and return
with recommendations for revisions, additions, and deletions.
The L -Policies consist of 28 different policies that address such items as encroachments
or construction in the public right of way.
Staff believes the most efficient use of the Commissioners' time would be to form a
subcommittee to assist in the review of the L -Policies. Once reviewed by the

subcommittee, the changes will be presented to the entire Planning Commission for
consideration, and then to the City Council as a recommendation.
Staff anticipates breaking up the review of the Policies with the subcommittee and the
Planning Commission over several meetings.
Environmental Review
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project
as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations,
Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the
environment, directly or indirectly.
Public Notice
The item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on
