Categorical Exemption

CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 – Minor Alterations to Land Use Limitations

The project consists of a parcel map amendment to modify the required Class A public street improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) to Class C (drainage ditch) along the Oak Avenue Street frontage under 04-RPR-0190. The surrounding neighborhood along Oak Avenue, from Chestnut Avenue to Walnut Avenue, is developed with single-family homes without frontage improvements. Not installing Class A street improvements would result in a minor change in land use limitations, which does not change the land use or density, and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Reducing the width of the private drive from 20-feet wide to 16-feet wide at the location where the driveway serves 2 parcels or less would result in a minor change in land use limitations, which does not change the land use or density, and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Section 15300.2-Exceptions Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, Exceptions, provides conditions under which categorical exemptions are inapplicable. Review of the Project indicates that it will not violate any of the exceptions, as described in the following section. 1. For Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11, will the project have an impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies? The project site is developed with two single-family homes along with the associated improvements. The project will not occur in sensitive environments or locations. 2. Will cumulative impacts be considerable because successive projects of the same type will occur at the same place over time? The project will not result in the removal of the requirement to install frontage improvements in a neighborhood where none currently exist and would not result in cumulative environmental impacts. 3. Is there a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances? There are no known unusual circumstances that will have a significant effect on the environment. 4. Will the project result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources within a highway officially designated as a scenic highway? River Road/ Highway 160 (from the Sacramento City Limits at the northern edge of Freeport to the southern tip of the Delta at Antioch Bridge) is a designated State Scenic Highway. The Project is not located within the vicinity of this scenic highway. Therefore, the project will not result in damage to scenic resources or similar resources within a highway that is officially designated as a scenic highway. 5. Is the project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code? The Project site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Therefore, the Project will not have an impact related to being located on a hazardous waste site. 6. Will the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource? The project site does not contain any historical resources.
