SALES, APPEALS AND CALLS FOR REVIEW AND OTHER MINOR
AMENDMENTS (See related Item 9.A.1)
Recommendation of City Manager:
(1) Adopt a finding that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code are
consistent with the General Plan as outlined in the agenda report;
(2) Acknowledge that the Environmental Administrator has determined that
the proposed amendment regarding tobacco sales is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the general
exemption [CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3)];

provision that allows existing tobacco sellers to be granted a conditional use
permit; and
(4) Approve the remaining amendments to the Zoning Code as contained in
the agenda report, which will be added to the newly revised Code scheduled
for later adoption.
Recommendation of Planning Commission: The Planning Commission
reviewed these amendments on September 10, 2003. It recommended
unanimous approval of staff's recommendation on all amendments except for
the amendment regarding the appeal of CEQA decisions. The Commission
voted to recommend that the appeal of CEQA decisions be only the CEQA
decision and not provide the applicant the right to appeal the discretionary
entitlement that is part of the decision. It recommended that if a CEQA
decision is appealed, that the Council at its own discretion may call for review
of the entire decision. The Planning Commission also recommended that
pre-existing tobacco retailers be automatically granted a use permit if they
comply with the proposed standards.
Recommendation of Transportation Advisory Commission: The
Transportation Advisory Commission reviewed the proposed amendments on
October 9, 2003. The Commission voted unanimously to support the staff's
recommendation regarding changing the parking requirement for take-out
