No. 2015-3466 outlining the General Plan Amendment Pre-Screening Process; and

(EIR); and
WHEREAS, on September 2, 2020, the City Council appointed the General Plan

provide policy guidance throughout the comprehensive General Plan Update; and
WHEREAS, the GPAC and community will soon begin discussions on

judgment, concurs with the Community Development Director's determination that the
temporary suspension of the General Plan Amendment Pre-Screening process is not a
project subject to CEQA. No environmental analysis of this action is required.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby suspends the General Plan Amendment
Pre-Screening process outlined in City Council Resolution No. 2015-3466 and directs
