21080(a); common sense exemption (Sec. 15061(b)(3))
Reasons for Exemption
The Proposed Action is the acquisition of 96.85 acres of vacant property located at 6737, 6840, and 6595 N. Cox Road, linden, CA. This action does not constitute a decision by the district regarding further development of the property. This action serves an essential role of securing land while the district determines its proposed uses for the property and a CEQA determination for the development of the site is performed. The district will make no decision to undertake further development until it has complied with CEQA and an overall site development plan has been approved and the district board retains full discretion with respect to the Property including imposition of mitigation measures and alternative uses for the property, including sale. The Proposed Action is exempt from the CEQA as it: (1) involves a land acquisition that is contingent on future CEQA compliance per §15004; (2) does not constitute a 'project" "approval" under CEQA; and (3) it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment per §15061.
