Title 18 Text Amendments/Updates, AP-23-0002 (ZTA)
Staff has identified a variety of miscellaneous “clean-up” text amendments needed to address some ambiguities and inconsistencies in Title 18 of the Pittsburg Municipal Code (PMC) and to also update other sections in compliance with recently updated provisions of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) State Law. The proposed amendments would clarify and correct some requirements that have been ambiguous or misinterpreted in the past and update some zoning definitions, use classifications and development standards for consistency with State ADU Law.
Environmental Determination:
The zoning text amendment is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061 (b) (3), which provides that a project is exempt from CEQA when it is covered by the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect.
