Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
- The project is consistent with the City of Escondido Zoning Code and General Plan, and no variances are required. The subject parcel is located within a developed area of the City, which has all services, public utilities, and access available on site.
- The request is for the non-emergency demolition of an existing single-family residence, and qualifies as an identified exemption within the parameters of CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(l)(1).
- The structures have been evaluated through a Historical Building Assessment dated January 12, 2023, by BFSA Environmental Services. Planning Division staff have determined that the structure is of no significant historical value, and is not subject to further CEQA review.
- The site has been completely developed, and has no value as habitat for endangered, threatened, or rare species. The proposed demolition 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 apply to the proposed project.
o The project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment, does not have an impact on an environmental resource, nor is it of a hazardous or critical concern.
o The project will not result in a cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, given the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan policies which were addressed in the General Plan Final EIR.
o There are no unusual circumstances surrounding the proposed project that would result in a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment in that the area of impact will not be significantly disturbed with demolition activities.
o The project will not damage scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources, because the proposed project would be located on a previously disturbed area of the project site, and has been determined to not be a historic resource.
o The project area is not environmentally sensitive as it has been previously developed with a single-family residence and accessory structures, and is surrounded by residential development.
