Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15305, 15332
Reasons for Exemption
The lot line adjustment associated with the project qualifies for a Class 5 categorical exemption from CEOA for minor alterations to land use limitations pursuant to CEOA Guidelines Section 15305. The proposed project complies with all of the foregoing criteria and demonstrates eligibility for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption as afforded by CEQA. The application exhibits consistency with General Plan and zoning
designations, policies, and regulations, with a project site comprising 1-4,681 square feet (.34 acres) in site, below the maximum threshold of five (5) acres, located within city limits and surrounded by existing residential and commercial urban uses. As a previously-developed urban infill site, the subject lot holds no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species:, with none known to exist on the site;
development of the project would not result in any significant impact relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality as supported by the submitted information; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, the proposal qualifies for the Categorical Exemption found In CECA Guidelines Section 15332, infill exemption. None of the exceptions to the exemptions under
Section 15300.2 apply to the project in that the project is not part of a larger project that could result in a cumulative impact, there are no unusual circumstances associated with the project or subject parcel, the project will not result in damage to resources associated with an officially designated scenic highway, the project site is not included on any lists compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code related to Hazardous Waste Sites, and the project will not result in substantial adverse changes in the significance of a historical resource site in that there are no known historic resources on the property.
