Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
21083.3
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is consistent with and implements the General Plan and qualifies for the Statutory Exemption contained in California Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The Project is consistent with development intensities established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan, for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified. The project would not result in substantial changes nor does it involve new information that would warrant further environmental review. The project does not contain elements that are peculiar to the project or project site that would result in new or more severe environmental impact relative to the findings of the certified General Plan EIR. All applicable mitigating General Plan policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan and General Plan EIR are imposed as environmental conditions of approval. Therefore, no further additional environmental review is required.
