Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Universal Design Ordinance Updates - Discuss proposed zoning code updates to sections relating to the Universal Design Ordinance in Alameda Municipal Code Sections 30-18 (Accessibility) and related technical amendments. The proposal is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), the common sense exemption where it can be seen with certainty that the proposed zoning text amendment has no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment because they relate to universal residential design (accessibility) standards, and a permit would be required for a project to apply these standards, at which time project specific impacts would be considered.
