Density Residential Overlay Zone, in Ward 1. The Planning Division of the

is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to

Sections 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) and 15061 (b) (3) (Common Sense

Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that the project will
