A DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 25-0011 FOR PUBLIC ART (MURAL) AT 100 WEST LA HABRA BOULEVARD

This project was reviewed pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(a), Class 1, "Existing Facilities" of the CEQA Guidelines because the project involves limited exterior alterations to the existing building facade, which will not affect the size of the existing building and will not require any site modifications.

The project is not subject to any of the exceptions for exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. The cumulative impact of this project, and the approval of similar projects in the vicinity, is not expected to have any significant environmental impact. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of any historical resource because the public art affects a building that was substantially renovated in 1998, which is less than 50 years ago. Staff does not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval and construction of this project.

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 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 25-0011 TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF PUBLIC ART (MURAL) ON AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 100 WEST LA HABRA BOULEVARD, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS, AND MAKING THE DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301(A), CLASS 1: "EXISTING FACILITIES" OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES
