         Recommendation:

Find that the action proposed in the agenda report, extension of an interim uncodified ordinance to facilitate the rebuilding of structures destroyed by the Eaton Fire, is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
         (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(3) and Executive Order N-20-25, related to projects to maintain, repair, restore, demolish, or replace property or facilities damaged or destroyed as a result of

         rebuild of structures and homes.
