Type, Section or Code
Consistent with General Plan, Community Plan and/or Zoning (Section 15183)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is consistent with the use and density
established under the existing 2040 General Plan, adopted on February 27, 2024, for which the City has certified the Master EIR and adopted the Mitigation Monitoring Program, pursuant to Resolution No. 2024-0065. A modified Initial Study/15183 Checklist, provided for in the CEQA Guidelines, concluded that the proposed
project would not result in any significant impacts that: (1) were peculiar to the project or the project site; (2) were not identified as a significant effect in the Master EIR; or (3) were previously identified significant effects, and which as a result of substantial new information that was not known at the time that the Master EIR was certified, were determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the Master EIR. Based upon 15183(f), the Modified Initial Study/15183 Checklist identifies the 2040 General Plan policies and/or actions that apply to the development of the project and have been determined in the Master EIR to substantially mitigate environmental effects. To the extent that the 2040 General Plan policies and/or actions substantially mitigate a particular project impact, the impact shall not be considered peculiar, pursuant to 15183(f), thus, eliminating the requirement for further environmental review.
