Set a hearing to consider recommendations regarding the Hagfors Rezone Project,

(Set a hearing for August 18, 2026. Time estimate: 30 minutes)

a) Make the required findings for approval of the Project, consisting of a Zoning Map

Amendment (Rezone, Case No. 25RZN-00003), including California Environmental

Quality Act (CEQA) findings;

reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 [Projects Consistent with a

Community Plan or Zoning]/Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, and that no

further environmental review is required because the project is consistent with the

adopted Santa Ynez Valley Community Plan (SYVCP) and does not result in impacts

beyond those analyzed in the SYVCP Environmental Impact Report (EIR)

(08EIR-00000-00004). Further, find that, pursuant to Public Resources Code 21083.3,

the proposed rezoning action is consistent with the community plan and is therefore
