Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Article 19, Section 15319, Class 19(a) -Annexation of Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
The City of Ukiah, acting as Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15319, Class 19(a)-Annexations of Existing Facilities and Lots for Exempt Facilities. The exemption applies because the subject property, a 7.87±-acre parcel, is fully developed
with approximately 98,000 square feet of existing commercial and industrial floor area, including the City's municipal corporation yard and space leased to private tenants. The proposed prezoning and annexation do not authorize any new construction, change in occupancy, or intensification of land use beyond existing conditions.
The site is already served by public utilities, and no extension or expansion of service capacity is proposed as part of this action. The prezoning is consistent with the City's General Plan and is being pursued in accordance with Government Code Sections 56742 and 65859 to ensure that City land use policies and zoning regulations
apply upon annexation. This action is procedural in nature and anticipatory of potential future changes, none of which are authorized or triggered by the current proposal. As no physical alterations or environmental impacts will result, the project clearly qualifies for exemption under Class 19(a).
