2. Pine Street Town Houses Extension (PL15400 – TM) – Application for a
proposed one-year extension of the approval for the Pine Street Town Houses (TR 9305), Use Permit (UP 11-001), Vesting Tentative Map (TM 11-001), Variance (VA 11-001), and Design Review (DR 11-010) for a 8-lot subdivision with a remainder parcel on a 0.23-acre site at 1561 Pine Street. This entitlement was approved by the Planning Commission on October 5, 2011. The General Plan designation is High Density Residential; Zoning classification is RH (High Density Residential); APN 128-010-079. Pursuant to Section 15332 “In-Fill Development Projects,” the project is classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption, and therefore, no further environmental review is required. The City of Concord Planning Commission approved the Use Permit, Vesting Tentative Map, Variance, and Design Review on October 5, 2011. No appeals were filed, and all statutes of limitations have expired. For purposes of CEQA, a project is
the activity to be undertaken, not the various individual government approvals – such as extensions – associated with the project. The proposed extension is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Indepth review of the Pine Street Town Houses has occurred, that project has been approved, and no changes are being proposed. If the proposed extension is a project under CEQA, it is subject to the exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment as the project has already been approved and this is merely a one year extension. Project Planner: G. Ryan Lenhardt @ (925) 671-3162
