       BEDROOMS, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SIGNIFICANT TOBACCO
       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)];
       (3)    Approve the proposed amendments regarding tobacco sales without the
       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
       restaurants, establishing parking location and loading requirements for
       mixed-use and urban residential projects and revisions to the loading
       requirements for commercial projects.
