CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
The project has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (“Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning”). The proposed project involves the development of a 10.45-acre site with a public park and associated recreational amenities, consistent with the land use designation and development standards established in the Canyon Heights Specific Plan No. 272 and the City of Menifee General Plan EIR. The Project site is located within Planning Area 1 of the Specific Plan and is designated for Parks use. The proposed improvements, including open space, a revitalized multi-purpose sports field, nature-themed play areas, a new parking lot, and a pedestrian trail system, are consistent with the allowed uses and intended function of Planning Area 1.
As documented in the project’s exemption checklist and consistency analysis, the proposed Project is consistent with the development density and land use policies identified in the Specific Plan and applicable General Plan EIR. There are no project-specific effects peculiar to the project or project site that would result in significant environmental impacts not otherwise analyzed in the certified General Plan EIR. All public services and access necessary to support the proposed Project are available, and no variances or exceptions are required. Therefore, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the project is exempt from further environmental review.
