If the proposed code amendment did qualify as a "project" subject to CEQA, the project would exempt from further environmental review in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because the project involves the adoption of regulations for small wireless facilities and does not directly or indirectly authorize or approve any actual physical change in the environment.

Draft City Council Policy, Small Wireless Facilities d the staff report, other written reports, public testimony and other information contained in the record; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written staff reports and all public comment and testimony, that: A. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council amend Chapter 18.110 of the Municipal Code and adopt a new policy regulating small wireless facilities based on the following: 1 . Recent changes in federal law limit local governments from exercising full zoning controls over small wireless facilities. Although these new regulations are subject to a pending legal challenge, the regulations are currently in partial effect and failure to comply at this time may result in an even more significant loss of local control. The proposed code amendment would comply with the recent changes in federal law by providing reasonable aesthetic regulations and a review and approval process for such facilities within the City of Pleasanton that is consistent with the new, shorter timeframes to act on a permit application. (The recommended amendment to Chapter 18.110 of the Municipal Code is included as Exhibit A, attached hereto.) 2. The proposal to the City Council includes the adoption of a new City Council policy that would include design and operational standards for small wireless facilities that would provide the maximum amount of local control legally established for the regulation of small wireless facilities. (The recommended Policy on Small Wireless Facilities is included as Exhibit B, attached.) B. The proposed code amendment is not considered a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the proposal is not an activity that has the potential for a direct physical change or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical [end] Vesting Tentative Map 8483 Planning Commission Page 5 of 5 rk-Recorder's Office.
