Type, Section or Code
Section 15332 Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the five findings described below:
1. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The site is zoned M1-1VL with a General Plan Land Use Designation of Limited Manufacturing. The site is located within the Northridge Community Plan area. The proposed storage project does not violate any applicable zoning regulations and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation, policies, and all applicable zoning designations and regulations. Therefore, the project is consistent with the existing zoning, general plan and all other applicable land use regulations.
2. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The subject site is wholly within the City of Los Angeles, on a site that is approximately 2.7 acres. Lots adjacent to the subject site are developed with the following urban uses: singlefamily residential dwelling, railroad tracks, lumber yard, automotive repair, and various heavy industrial uses.
3. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The site is previously disturbed and surrounded by development and therefore is not, and has no value as, a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. There are no protected trees on-site or trees in the public right-of-way as indicated on the Tree Disclosure Statement, signed by the owner on October 18, 2024.
4. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
The project is subject to Regulatory Compliance Measures (RCMs) in the City of Los Angeles that regulate impacts related to air quality, traffic, construction and operational noise, and water quality. These RCMs will ensure the project will not have significant impacts on noise and water. Furthermore, the project does not exceed the threshold criteria established by LADOT for preparing a transportation study. Interim thresholds were developed by DCP staff based on CalEEMod model runs relying on reasonable assumptions, consulting with AQMD staff, and surveying published air quality studies for which criteria air pollutants did not exceed the established SCAQMD construction and operational thresholds.
5. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The construction of a new storage building is located on a site which has been previously developed and is consistent with the General Plan. The project is in an urbanized area that is adequately served by public facilities including fire protection, police protection, schools and parks, as well as by other utilities.
