Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183
Reasons for Exemption
A CEQA Compliance Checklist (PECC 04-25) was prepared for the proposed project, which found that the project is consistent with the development density established by the City of Long Beach General Plan Land Use and Urban Design Elements for which an EIR (i.e., the City of Long Beach General Plan Land Use and Urban Design Elements Program Environmental Impact Report [General Plan EIR]; State Clearinghouse No. 2015051054) was certified. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), there are no project specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. There are no project specific impacts which the General Plan EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. Further, there are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the General Plan EIR failed to evaluate. Furthermore, there is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than discussed in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the project is exempt for further environmental review.
