The proposed reduced 10-foot front yard setback would approximately match the existing home’s front yard setback, and the proposed structure will comply with all other required development standards. EnvironmentalDetermination: The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures).
