NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City of Dunsmuir Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. on the following item: Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Dunsmuir Municipal Code section 17.68.110 to Streamline the Permit Process for Painting in the Historic District and its Buffer Zone, and Adoption of a Historic Paint Palette (ZOA 25-01) The project is a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Dunsmuir Municipal Code Section 17.68.110 to amend the Historic Preservation chapter. The ordinance would streamline the review process for applicants seeking to repaint their structure in the Historic combining district and Historic buffer zone, providing an administrative review process for the proposed paint color(s) if an applicant selects the color(s) from an approved color palette. Currently, any change of color requires a discretionary review process. PUBLIC HEARING LOCATION: Participants can attend in person, online, and/or by telephone, as follows: In-person at: Dunsmuir City Council Chambers, 5902 Dunsmuir Ave, Dunsmuir, CA Online via Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/99204517515 Telephone at: 1(669)900-6833 When prompted, enter Meeting ID: 992 0451 7515 The Planning Commission review of this project is limited to recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will make the final decision on the project in a separate public hearing to take place at an as-yet undetermined time and date, and which will be noticed as required under City and State law. It is anticipated that the project will be determined to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15331 (Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation), 15332 (Infill Development Projects), and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). A CEQA exemption implies that the project will not result in any significant adverse environmental effects. The Planning Commission will consider the appropriateness of said environmental recommendation based on the record of evidence before them. If substantial evidence has been presented demonstrating a more appropriate environmental determination than the one being recommended, the Planning Commission may recommend to the City Council an alternative environmental determination pursuant to the requirements of CEQA. All project documents are available for public review at the City of Dunsmuir, 5915 Dunsmuir Avenue, Dunsmuir, California, and all interested persons are invited to participate in the meeting and be heard on any agenda item. In addition, a staff report will be available at City Hall and on the City's website three working days prior to the Planning Commission meeting. Please contact Jessica Hankins, City Planner, at (530) 235-4822 with any questions regarding the scheduled public hearing. All items presented to the Planning Commission as part of a public hearing, including but not limited to, letters, e-mail, petitions, photos, or maps, become a permanent part of the record and must be submitted to the City Clerk. It is advised that the presenter submit 12 copies of anything presented to the Commission in advance of the meeting with sufficient time for the materials to be distributed to and reviewed by the Planning Commission, and that the presenter create copies in advance for their own records. If you challenge either the environmental determination or proposed project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Dunsmuir at, or prior to, the public hearing. - DUSTIN RIEF, CITY MANAGER September 10 2025 LYRK0363823
