The proposed amendment also limits signs to property adjacent to a freeway, places a 700-foot maximum on sign area, and requires that they be within 300 feet of a freeway right-of-way. ENVIRONMENTAL RSSESSMENT: The proposed amendment is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061b(3), and the notice of determination has been placed on file in the Community Development Department, and the office of the City Clerk. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration, the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2287. 1. Certifying that the project is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061b(3) 2.
