Reasons for Exemption
The Environmental Coordinator finds that a Final Environmental Impact Report was certified by the Planning Commission for the Vesting Tentative Map (TR 1804), Development Plan (D910279), and Coastal Development Permit for Cambria Pines Estates/Walter H. Leimert Company on April 24, 1997 (SCH #1992041095). The Environmental Coordinator finds that the previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) is adequate for the purposes of compliance with CEQA because no substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revision of the previously certified FEIR, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstance under which the project is undertaken which will require major revision of the previously certified FEIR, and no new information of substantial importance has been identified which was not known at the time that the previous FEIR was certified. Therefore, use of the previously prepared FEIR (pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and CA Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) is sufficient. No significant impacts of the project have been identified and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15162, no project specific mitigation measures are necessary specific to Lot 18 of Tract 1804 as identified in the certified Final EIR prepared for the Cambria Pines Estates (Exhibit B- Conditions of Approval- Development Plan- D910279D).
The project site (Lot 18 of TM 1804) is located within Cambria Pines Estates cluster subdivision which was approved by the County Planning Commission on April 24, 1997. The Planning Commission approved the request by Walter H. Leimert Company for a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (TM 1804) (S890315T) and Development Plan/ Coastal Development Plan (D910279D) which established a cluster subdivision of a 380-acre site into 18 residential lots ranging in size from approximately 1.3 acres to 91 acres and open space easements encompassing a minimum of 342 acres (90 percent) of the project site. The final map recorded June 22, 2000. The project will be served by community water (Cambria CSD) and an individual on-site septic system as originally approved through the Cambria Pines Estates cluster subdivision. The single-family residence is consistent in size and style to surrounding homes and maintains the area’s rural wooded character.
The project as designed and conditioned complies with the Cambria Pines Estates Tract Map/Development Plan/Coastal Development Permit, Tract 1804 and D910279D and associated Design Guidelines. The project is designed to be sensitive to Cambria's rural surroundings, natural resources, and neighboring properties. The residence is designed in a locally appropriate ranch/agrarian architectural style, with a simple, symmetrical gable roof, utilitarian light fixtures, and colors and materials consisting of reclaimed barn wood vertical siding, standing seam metal roof, natural stone veneer and dark grey, bronze and black elements. The project is sited entirely within the building envelope with ample buffers from existing trees and is substantially setback from the private drive and adjacent residences. Additionally, grading and disturbance has been minimized and remains below 1 acre. The project meets and exceeds CZLUO setback standards and is below the maximum allowable building height standard.
