The recommended action of continuing the public hearing is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 15378(b)(5) because such continuance is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

That the Planning Commission approve:

A motion of the Planning Commission of the City of La Habra, California, approving a continuance of Conditional Use Permit 25-0015 (CUP25-0015) to establish and operate a commercial recreation facility (A.K.A., Funbox) at 951 North Harbor 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(e), Class 1: "Existing Facilities" of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use. The subject site contains an existing 2,078-square-foot building, previously used as a nursery school, and an associated 400-square-foot garage used for storage. The project does not include any major modifications or additions to these existing structures, exterior remodeling, and/or structural rehabilitation. Use of the property for a general business office is a negligible expansion of the existing use. 

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 other projects like it 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 as there have been several improvements to the structure and modifications to the lot over the years that have resulted in an inability for the building and site to convey any historic significance. Staff does not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval and construction of the project. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
