Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 - Minor Land Divisions
Reasons for Exemption
Class 15 consists of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning; no variances or exceptions are required; all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available; the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years; and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. The proposed project is consistent with the requirements of this class and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
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 exemption is not one of the above classes and this exception does not apply.
2. Will cumulative impacts be considerable because successive projects of the same type will occur at the same place over time?
As it stands, the project will not result in potentially significant impacts. Therefore, no cumulative impacts will result from the project and successive projects of the same type and at the same place over time.
3. Is there a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances?
There is one (1), 21 inch valley oak tree that will be removed to develop the subject property. Pursuant to the Sacramento County Tree Preservation Ordinance, removal of healthy native oak trees for the development of land requires a tree permit and in-kind replacement fees. At the time of improvement plans, a tree permit will be required to ensure compliance with the County Tree Preservation Ordinance.
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. Additionally, a search of the EnviroStor and GeoTracker databases was conducted and no hazardous material records were located on site or in proximity to the project site. Therefore, implementation of 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.
