Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines §§ 15332
Reasons for Exemption
The City of Coachella, as Lead Agency, has reviewed the Project pursuant to: 1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15002(k) – General Concepts, outlining the three-step process for determining which document to prepare for a project subject to CEQA; and 2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 – Review for Exemption, which provides procedures for determining if a project is exempt from CEQA. It can be seen with certainty that implementing the Project would not cause a significant adverse effect on the environment because the Project will be constructing a four-story 53 affordable senior apartment units, 4,375 square feet of commercial space, 1,100 square foot community room, and associated improvements on a heavily disturbed and currently vacant 0.86acre lot (APN #778-113-001 and -002) at the southeast corner of Tripoli Ave. and 6th St. The site does not serve as a viable habitat for wildlife and is consistent with the City of Coachella’s General Plan land use and zoning designation, and can be adequately served by existing utilities and public services. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 –In-fill Exemption. Further, there is no substantial evidence indicating that any of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 – Exceptions apply to the project.
