The recommended action of extending the time period for abatement was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and found to not be a project as defined under Section 15378(b)(5) because such extension is an administrative action only, and, therefore, is exempt from CEQA review.
 
  Recommendation:

That the Planning Commission adopt the following resolution:

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING A THIRTY-DAY EXTENSION TO THE TIME PERIOD FOR ABATEMENT FOR THE PUBLIC NUISANCE LOCATED AT 901-977 W. IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.
