Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An environmental memorandum dated November 6, 2025, assessing the proposed project concluded that the Project qualifies for the Commonsense Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061 (b)(3), which applies when it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may
have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed development involves minor improvements on a previously disturbed and urbanized site, and no new or unusual environmental impacts would occur. Therefore, the commonsense exemption is appropriate.
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15332
Reasons for Exemption
In addition, the Project qualifies for the Infill Exemption under CEQA Guidelines 15332. The exemption applies to infill development within city limits on sites less than five acres, are surrounded by urban uses, meet specified criteria regarding consistency with the General Plan and zoning, lack of significant environmental effects, availability of utilities and services, and absence of habitat value for special-status species. The First Carbon Solutions memo confirms that the Project meets all requirements for this exemption: it is located on an infill site, is consistent with
applicable land use designations, relies on existing infrastructure, and would not result in significant traffic, noise, air quality, or other environmental impacts.
