Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 / Class 1 & Section 15332 / Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves the alteration of existing structures and in-fill development. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project. (a) Location: This exception is not applicable as it only applies to Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11. (b) Cumulative Impact: There are no concurrent approved or pending projects within the same place of the project site. The proposed Project will not result in significant cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place. (c) Significant Effect: The project will not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. All adjacent lots are developed with single-family dwellings and the subject site is of similar size and slope to nearby properties. The project site is located in a typical urbanized area of the West Adams - Baldwin Hills - Leimert Community Plan, and the project would be consistent with the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of the LAMC. The project is not unusual for the vicinity of the site, and is similar in scope to other existing residential uses in the area. Furthermore, there is not a reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project site is not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. (d) Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity of a state scenic highway and will not damage scenic resources in a state scenic highway. (e) Hazardous Waste Sites: The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 related to hazardous waste sites. (f) Historical Resources: Per ZIMAS, SurveyLA, and/or Historic Places LA, the project site is identified as a contributor to a historical resource. However, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15125, the physical baseline conditions are established at the time the environmental analysis is commenced, which the Lead Agency (the City) determined to be at the time of City Planning application filing. The subject addition and remodel were completed prior to the time of application filing. As such, the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
