Environmental Review:  Pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15061(c)(3) Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2023-03 is exempt from environmental review because the proposed action would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.  Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required pursuant to CEQA.
