Document Description
The Vineyard Crossing Subdivision Project (proposed project) would include the removal of the existing vineyards and on-site trees from the project site, and subdivision of the site into 71 residential lots, with 45 single-family residential lots on the western parcel and 26 duplex building lots on the eastern parcel. Of the 45 lots on the western parcel, 40 would include accessory dwelling units (ADUs), 13 of which would be deed-restricted and available to low-income households. The 26 lots on the eastern parcel would consist of duplex buildings with a total of 52 units; a vesting tentative map is being prepared for potential future condominium purposes. The proposed project would include an overall total of 137 residential units, with 45 single-family units and 40 ADUs in the western parcel and 52 residential units in the eastern parcel of the project site. Amenities located in the western parcel of the project site would include a recreation center with an outdoor pool and spa area, as well as a children’s play area. Amenities located in the eastern parcel of the project site would include an activity lawn area with park benches. The existing walking trail located along the northern boundary of the project site that connects Phillips Lane to the east and Hickorynut Street to the west would be maintained during project construction. Primary site access would be provided by two new private streets off Phillips Lane and Oakley Road which would connect to internal streets throughout the project site. The proposed project would require City approval of a Vesting Tentative Map, Density Bonus, and Design Review.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status

Type, Section or Code
PRC Section 21083.3/CEQA Guidelines Section 15183
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, where a project is consistent with the use and density established for a property under an existing general plan or zoning ordinance for which the city has already certified an EIR, additional environmental review is not required “except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” As set forth by Sections 15168 and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, the program EIR in this case is the City of Antioch General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designations of MLDR and MDR. Through a Modified Initial Study/Section 15183 Checklist, the City determined that the proposed project would not result in a significant impact that: (1) is peculiar to the project or the project site; (2) was not identified as a significant effect in the General Plan EIR; or (3) are previously identified significant effects, which as a result of substantial new information that was not known at the time that the General Plan EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, based on Section 15183, further environmental review is not required for the proposed project.
