The request to determine whether a property constitutes a public nuisance was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and found to not be a project as defined under Section 15378(b)(5) because such a determination is an administrative action only, and therefore, is exempt from CEQA review.

That the Planning Commission continue the hearing to a special meeting on June 22, 2023. 

A public hearing notice was initially prepared which stated that the declaration of a public nuisance at the Coyote Village located at 901-997 West Imperial Highway would be heard by the Planning Commission at their regular meeting on June 12, 2023. However, it was discovered that the delivery of the copy of the public hearing notice that was sent to the Homeowners Association president via certified mail, was unsuccessful. To ensure compliance with public hearing notification requirements, staff is preparing a new public hearing notice and recommending that the Planning Commission continue this item to a special meeting on June 22, 2023.   

There is no fiscal impact that will result from recommending continuance of this public hearing item.

The determination on whether a property constitutes a public nuisance is not subject to compliance with the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Permit because this determination is an administrative action involving the assessment of existing site conditions only.

Since this item is being recommended for a continuance, the general plan relevance along with City Council goals and objectives was not included as part of this report.
