Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, In-fill Development Projects
Reasons for Exemption
The City of San Diego determined that the project would qualify to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15332, In-fill Development Projects. The project proposes subdividing the site into four three-dimensional parcels. The project qualifies for the CEQA Section 15332 exemption based on the following: 1) the project is consistent with land use commercial designation and CU-2-4 zone 2) the project site is within the City limits on a site that is less than 5 acres (0.775-acre site); 3) the site is already developed and has no value for listed species; 4) no significant impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality would occur; and 5) the site can adequately be served by all public utilities and services considering its location within an urbanized area. No construction is proposed as a result of this action. The project does not propose any changes to the physical environment, as it is only a mapping action, and no physical change would result. Therefore, there is no possibility of a significant effect on the environment resulting from the tentative map. The site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 for hazardous waste sites.
