Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Consistent With a Community Plan or Zoning [Section 15183(a)]
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “projects.” A “project,” under CEQA,
is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical
change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The proposed Project is a project under CEQA.
Staff has determined that no further environmental review is required under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Consistency with a General Plan, Community Plan, or Zoning). State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Public Resources Code §21083.3), provides that projects which are consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning for which an environmental impact report (EIR) has been certified “shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” In February 2019, an EIR was prepared and certified by the City Council as part of the Elk Grove General Plan (SCH# 2017062058). In December 2023, a Subsequent EIR was prepared and certified as part of the General Plan update (SCH# 2022020463). The Project is subject to the General Plan MMRP.
The Project consists of a Major Design Review for the construction of a new single-story commercial building totaling approximately ±19,685 square feet along with associated parking, landscaping, and lighting improvements. Construction of the building will occur on Building Pad C of the Elk Grove Sportscenter Complex with a development area of approximately 1.6 acres. The Project was reviewed and found to be consistent with the applicable General Plan designation (Community Commercial - CC) and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation (General Commercial - GC) and regulations.
The General Plan EIR relies on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as a measure of transportation impacts. A VMT Analysis for the Project was prepared by Fehr & Peers dated August 29, 2024 to determine if the Project complies with City of Elk Grove General Plan Policy MOB-1-1 adopted to reduce VMT and achieve State-mandated reductions on VMT. According to the analysis, the Project would not exceed the City’s VMT limit for Community Commercial (CC) land use. Furthermore, the Project shall comply with the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) for new non-residential development, including CAP measures related to energy efficiency (BE-4), photovoltaic installation (BE-7), construction equipment (TACM-8), and electric vehicle charging (TACM-9).
The property is located in an area considered low sensitivity for cultural and tribal resources area that has previously been developed. The implementation of the conditions of approval will address the potential for encountering undiscovered cultural resources and/or tribal cultural resources.
Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality as it would be subject to the Elk Grove Municipal Code (EGMC) Chapter 16.44 related to Land Grading and Erosion Control and EGMC 6.32 related to Noise Control. The Project would also be subject to the City’s water efficient landscape ordinance and would be below the construction and operational air quality screening levels set forth in the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District CEQA Guide.
No potential new impacts related to the Project have been identified that would necessitate further environmental review beyond the impacts and issues already disclosed and analyzed in the General Plan EIR. No other special circumstances exist that would create a reasonable possibility that the Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, the prior EIR is sufficient to support the proposed action and pursuant to State CEQA Guideline Section 15183, no further environmental review is required.
