Overlay Zone, in Ward 4. The Planning Division of the Community & Economic

Development Department has determined that the proposal exempt from the

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Sections 15304

(Minor Alterations to Land) and 15061 (Common Sense) of the CEQA Guidelines,

as the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Contact Planner:

PLANNING CASE PR-2024-001651: A request for Planning Commission annual

review of projects included in the fiscal year (FY) 2024-2026 Capital Improvement

Program (CIP), and determination that the projects are consistent with General Plan

2025 pursuant to California Government Code Section 65401. The Community &

Economic

Development

Department

recommends

that

the

City

Planning

Commission determine that the CIP consistency review is not subject to the

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section

15061(b)(3), because the review is not considered a “project” as defined by Section

15378(b)(4). Contact Planner: Clarissa Manges, Californians for All Program

Fellow, (951) 826-5264, cmanges@riversideca.gov.

Street Vacation to vacate Sunrise Place, public street consisting of

approximately 11,390 square feet of right-of-way, approximately 285 feet in length

and 40 feet in width, located on the east side of Knob Hill Drive, in Ward 3. The

Community and Economic Development Department recommends the Planning

Commission determine that this project is exempt from the California Environmental

Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty there

is no possibility the proposed amendment will have a significant effect on the

environment. Contact Planner: Judy Egüez, Senior Planner, (951) 826-3969,
