Categorical Exemption

15332

This project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Infill Development Projects, which exempts in-fill development when the project would be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; when proposed development would occur on a site no greater than five acres that’s substantially surrounded by urban uses; when the site has no habitat value for endangered, rare or threatened species; when approval would not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality and water quality; and when the site is adequately served by utilities and public services. As documented in the staff report, the project would be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The 1.01-acre site is located within an urban area adjacent to existing residential single-family tracts, does not contain any protected or rare vegetation, nor provide habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. It is disconnected to larger habitats as well as having adjacent residential uses next to it. Standard development requirements for resource protection contained in FMC Section 18.218.050(b) (Biology, Special-Status Species) would be included as conditions of approval and implemented with project development. These standard requirements would ensure that there would be no impacts to burrowing owls, nesting birds, or roosting bats. As a separate and independent basis, the project also is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning. The project is consistent with the development density established in the General Plan for which an EIR was certified (SCH#2010082060). There are no project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site that were not analyzed a significant effect in the prior EIR, no potentially significant off-site impacts or cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR, nor previously identified significant effect which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the prior EIR was certified, would have a more severe adverse effect than discussed in the prior EIR. Furthermore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, as none of the circumstances requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR have occurred. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.
