Reasons for Exemption
The existing property has no trees/vegetation and is used as a salvage vehicle lot. The infill development will create a new pocket park, pedestrian bridge, micro transit station, and parking spaces, providing the community with a pleasant and peaceful open space that will accommodate all modes of travel, including persons with disabilities with access to public recreational, educational, and transit amenities. The newly developed parcel will also include the addition of native and climate-appropriate trees and shrubs, providing additional refuge for local wildlife.
