SECTION 3: CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT EXEMPTION. The City

Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.,

minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction - related regulations

environment.

and Building Safety Department (that is, detailed architectural plans are submitted and

Ordinance. Persons may appeal the Director's decision in accordance with ESMC § 13-
