<br />Furthermore, all services would be held inside the worship
<br />building, with the final service ending by 8:00 p.m. The project
<br />also aligns with Policy N-1.1, which promotes the use of
<br />established Citywide Noise Standards and guidelines to inform
<br />land use decisions and guide noise management strategies.
<br />Additionally, the project adheres to Policy N-1.4 by protecting
<br />noise-sensitive land uses from excessive, unsafe, or disruptive
<br />noise levels. As previously described, the project conforms to
<br />applicable exterior noise standards and includes a block wall and
<br />landscaping along the western property line, where adjacent
<br />single-family homes are located.
<br />Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and its
<br />Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review under Section 15332 (Class 32 – Infill
<br />Development). The project qualifies for this exemption as it involves infill development
<br />consistent with the applicable general plan and zoning designations, is located within city
<br />limits on a site of less than five acres, is substantially surrounded by urban uses, has no
<br />habitat value for endangered species, and would not result in significant impacts related to
<br />traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Additionally, the site can be adequately served by
<br />all necessary utilities and public services. The applicant engaged an environmental
<br />consultant to conduct an analysis of biological resources, traffic, and air quality, which was
<br />peer-reviewed by a CEQA consultant retained by the City. As such, a Notice of Exemption,
<br />Environmental Review No. 2023-06, will be filed for this project.
<br />Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or
<br />any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized
<br />volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands,
<br />lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable,
<br />declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution
<br />procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations , and such other
<br />procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the
<br />City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
<br />instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or see k to modify, set aside, void, or annul,
<br />any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers,
<br />employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions
<br />approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are
<br />brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning
<br />and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5,
<br />or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule,
<br />regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the
<br />City shall have the right to approve the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and that
<br />Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily
<br />incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of
<br />any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action.
