       The project was submitted and initially scheduled for the March Planning Commission as a project categorically exempt from environmental assessment requirements of CEQA. However, based on information provided by the applicant that was not received until March 9, 2005, regarding the potential trip generation and potential traffic impacts of the project, the project cannot be exempted. Therefore the City must conduct an environmental assessment and prepare an initial study before the project can proceed to the Planning Commission.
