If the donor has a matter pending before the agency, and the official received a campaign contribution from the donor in excess of $250 in the prior 12 months, the official must publicly disclose the contribution and cannot in any way participate in the decision of the matter. The donor also has a duty to disclose the contribution on the record. In the 12 months following the decision, a local official cannot receive campaign contributions in excess of $250 from a donor with an economic interest in the governmental decision. Public officials are encouraged to closely track all campaign contributions which collectively exceed $250 in any 12-month period from any single source.

All matters on Consent Calendar are considered to be routine and will be enacted by one motion unless a Commissioner, City staff member, or member of the audience requests separate action or removal of an item.

DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 24-0003 TO REPOSITION A COMMON LOT LINE BETWEEN TWO CONTIGUOUS PROPERTIES LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND IDAHO STREET (ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBERS: 018-391-37 & 018-391-38)

This project was reviewed pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt under Section 15305(a), Class 5: "Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations" of the CEQA Guidelines. No new development is proposed as part of this Lot Line Adjustment. The Applicant is proposing to relocate the common lot line between the two adjacent properties to situate the Regal Theater building on its own parcel. While the Lot Line Adjustment will result in subsequent changes to the square footage of each lot, these changes are minor and the new dimensions and coverage are consistent with the site's zoning and land use designations. This project is not subject to any of the exceptions for exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. The location of the Lot Line Adjustment is not considered a sensitive environment; therefore, the action will not result in any significant environmental impact. The cumulative impact of this project, and the approval of other projects like it in the vicinity, is not expected to have any significant environmental impact. The subject parcels are also not located along any state-designated scenic highways or within any designated hazardous waste sites. Staff does not expect any impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval of this Lot Line Adjustment.

That the Planning Commission approve and adopt:

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA, MAKING THE REQUIRED FINDINGS AND APPROVING LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT 24-0003 TO REPOSITION A COMMON LOT LINE BETWEEN TWO CONTIGUOUS PROPERTIES LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND IDAHO STREET (ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBERS: 018-391-37 AND 018-391-38), AS PER THE APPROVED PLANS AND SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS, AND MAKING THE DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15305(A), CLASS 5: "MINOR ALTERATIONS IN LAND USE LIMITATIONS" OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES.
