Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
- The proposed project is consistent with the City of Escondido Zoning Code and General Plan, and no variances are required. The subject parcel is located in a developed area of the City, which has all services, public utilities, and access available on site.
- The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (“Existing Facilities”), in that the proposed project consists of a request for the modification of an existing conditional use permit for operations within an existing youth recreational facility, with no exterior expansion proposed.
- The site has been completely developed, and has no value as habitat for endangered, threatened, or rare species. The proposed development would not have the potential to cause an adverse impact on the environment and is not subject to further CEQA review.
- Furthermore, none of the exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2, in that:
o Location. The proposed project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment, and does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern as none have been identified in the project site.
o Cumulative Impact. The project will not result in a cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, as the project is consistent with the General Plan policies which were addressed in the General Plan Final EIR. Furthermore, the project will remain within the developed site and not expand beyond the existing building footprint to create an impact.
o Significant Effect. There are no unusual circumstances surrounding the project that would result in a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment, as the area of impact is already disturbed.
o Scenic Highways. The proposed project will not damage scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources as the areas of impact have already been disturbed.
o Hazardous Waste Sites. The project site is not located on a site as referenced in Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
o Historical Resources. The project is not on a site which contains a significant historical resource, and would not cause a substantially adverse change to the significance of a historical resource.
