Item VI 1 - Concord Recycling Center Appeal (PL16011 – AC) – Consideration of Pleasant
Paper Recycling Inc.’s (dba “Concord Recycling Center”) Appeal of a Planning Division
Interpretation of Concord Development Code Section 18.40.010(D) Regarding Outdoor
Storage in the Service Commercial (SC) Zoning District and amendments to Use Permits
01-00 and 03-11 for 1320 and 1313 Galaxy Way to allow outdoor storage pursuant to
Development Code Sections 18.200.170.D. and E. The Planning Commission’s
consideration of and action on the Appeal does not constitute a “project” within the
meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Sections
15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), or 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in either a
direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment. Even if such activities did constitute a project under the
CEQA, staff believes the activities they fall within the “common sense” CEQA
exemption set forth in 14 Cal Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where
“it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may
have a significant effect on the environment.” Moreover, even if the activities did not
qualify for the common sense exemption, they are exempt from CEQA pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement or
Reconstruction), and 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) because, among other things, they involve minor alterations to existing facilities,
replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities, and construction and location of
limited numbers of new small facilities or structures, all as further detailed in the staff
report and attachments thereto. This item was continued from the March 16, 2016
Planning Commission hearing. Project Planner: Andrew Mogensen @ (925) 671-3332
