What this means

Committee members voted to allow demolition and rebuilding of a home and attached junior ADU where black mold was found, and they moved forward changes to the city’s affordable housing streamlining effort, asking the City Attorney to write the actual ordinance. They also approved planning reports on a zoning exemption for the Olympic/Paralympic Games and authorized work on a citywide interim control ordinance for Recreational Vehicle parks. One action involved an exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which is the state environmental review law referenced in the reports, meaning that environmental review was found unnecessary for that particular proposal under the rules cited.
