Categorical Exemption

15301

This project involves a tentative map waiver, summary vacation of a right of way, dedication of a right of way, and approval of a parcel map. This project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. Approval of the tentative map waiver, summary vacation of the right of way, and acceptance of the public right of way dedication are administrative actions that do not approve or cause construction of any specific improvements at any particular location. Approval of the parcel map is a ministerial action under the Subdivision Map Act and therefore is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268. Furthermore, approval of the parcel map is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Minor Land Divisions) because the parcel map involves the division of property in an urbanized area zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels, conforms to the General Plan and Zoning Code, does not require a variance or exception, was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous 2 years, does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent, and services and access to the proposed parcels are available. In addition, summary vacation of the right-of-way is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) because vacation of remnant portions of the right of way that have not been used for roadway purposes for years involves no expansion of the existing or former use of the public right of way and constitutes a minor alteration in land use limitation that does not result in any change in land use or density.
