15061(b)(3)

The vacation of a portion of a street has been determined to not be a “project” as defined under State CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c). However, even if it was determined to be a project under CEQA for analysis purposes, the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA specifically by the State CEQA Guidelines as identified below. The vacation of an existing parcel will not result in any specific or general exceptions to the use of the categorical exemption as detailed under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. The project will not cause any impacts to scenic resources, historic resources, or unique sensitive environments. Further, no unusual circumstances or potential cumulative impacts would occur that may reasonably create an environmental impact. The vacation of a portion of a street will not have an effect on the environment; thus, the County has deemed this does not meet the definition of a “project” under CEQA and no environmental impacts are anticipated to occur. Section 15061(b)(3) - General Rule “Common Sense” Exemption. With certainty, there is no possibility that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. Vacating a portion of a street will not require any construction activities, change the use or intensity of the existing site to create a physical environmental impact, and would not lead to any direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical environmental impacts. Therefore, in no way would vacating a portion of a street have the potential to cause a significant environmental impact and the vacation is exempt from further CEQA analysis. Based upon the identified exemptions above, the County of Riverside hereby concludes that no physical environmental impacts are anticipated to occur and the project as proposed is exempt under CEQA. No further environmental analysis is warranted.
