PL 22-3740
Address: Mixed -Use Land Use Designation
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TEMPLE CITY RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL FIND THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA AND MODIFY THE
MIXED -USE LAND USE DESIGNATION
WHEREAS, the State of California Government Code Section 65300 requires the
City to adopt and maintain a General Plan that contains certain elements, describes its
long-term goals, and develop policies and programs to achieve those goals; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted its General Plan on December 5, 2017; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing updates to the
General Plan and forwarding a recommendation to the City Council on the adoption;
and
WHEREAS, the Commission has reviewed and considered information from a
variety of sources, including, but not limited to, City staff, outside agencies, the Draft
Environmental Impact Report, and the report and recommendations of the GPAC, and
members of the public; and
WHEREAS, public notice was provided as required by law and a Planning
Commission public hearing was held on December 13, 2022; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is not subject to environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3)
and 15378 because it can be seen with certainty that the Ordinance has no possibility
of a significant effect on the environment. This Ordinance concerns organizational and
administrative activities involving clarifications or interpretations of existing zoning
code regulations and it can be seen with certainty that it will not result in any physical
changes in the environment. Anything approved per these code sections would not be
considered a "project" under CEQA, would be exempt under CEQA as a class 1, class 2,
class 3, class 4, class 5, class 11, class 15, or class 32 exemption, or would be entirely too
speculative and would undergo its own CEQA review at the time an application is
submitted; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the Temple City Planning Commission resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. The proposed amendment meets the findings for a General Plan
Amendment required in 9 -1C -6.H.5 as demonstrated below;
The proposed amendment would not create an internal inconsistency in the General
Plan.

The proposed change to the General Plan Land Use Diagram and the Land Use Element
is a clarification of the original intent. It is consistent in every manner with the intent,
goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan.
The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
general welfare of the city.
The proposed General Plan amendment is proposed to provide clarity between the
wording in the General Plan Land Use Diagram, the description and intensity of the
allowed uses in the Land Use Diagram and the Zoning Code. The proposed change
does not modify the allowed densities but only provides clarification.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the
proposed General Plan Amendment, which is attached and incorporated by reference
as Exhibit A.
SECTION 3. The secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED on this 13th day of December 2022.
