Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21083.3; CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(a) - Projects consistent with development den
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15183 (PRC Section 21083.3), provides that projects which are consistent with the development density established by zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an environmental impact report (EIR) has been certified "shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project
or its site." An EIR was prepared and certified by the Board of Supervisors for the Sacramento County General Plan Update (SCH# 2007082086) incorporated by reference and available at: https://planning.saccounty.gov/PlansandProjectsln-Progress/Pages/GeneralPlan.aspx.
The project is consistent with the development density and use characteristics considered by the General Plan Update EIR and Zoning Code for the Agricultural Residential (AG-RES) land use designation. The project would allow for the development of up to four (4) primary single-family residences on parcels
consistent with density allowances of the AG-RES and AR-2 land use designations. The development of single-family residences would be consistent with the surrounding single-family residential uses. Construction of single-family residences would comply with County Code Title 16 (Building and Construction) including land grading and erosion control (Chapter 16.44) and Title 22 (Land Development.
No new impacts peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project will be located have been identified that would necessitate further environmental review beyond the impacts and issues already disclosed and analyzed in the General Plan Update EIR. No other special circumstances exist that would create a
reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, no further environmental review is required.
Section 15183 Analysis:
Section 15183(b) specifies that a public agency shall limit its evaluation of environmental effects to those
which the agency determines:
1. Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located.
The project site is not developed for residential uses; however, the project site includes existing agricultural development associated with equestrian raising and grazing. The project includes the split of a 10-acre parcel into four (4) parcels ranging between 2.15 acres and 3.3 acres of lot area. The project
will allow for the development of single-family residences and ancillary agricultural-residential uses on each new lot. The project also includes the construction of a new road from 20th Street to provide access to parcel #2 and #4. Project related site improvements have the potential to affect biological resources, including wetland habitat and nesting birds; greenhouse gas emissions; and hydrology and water quality, including impacts to the 100-year floodplain. While these impacts are specific to the project site and proposed project, the implementation of standard Sacramento County General Plan mitigation measures would result in reducing impacts to no greater than what was determined by the General Plan Update EIR.
2. Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent.
Construction of the project is not anticipated to result in significant effects which were not analyzed in the General Plan Update EIR.
3. Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan, or zoning action. Construction of the project does not include off-site impacts and would not result in cumulative impacts which were not analyzed in the General Plan Update EIR.
4. Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.
There is no substantial new information that would result in a determination of a more severe impact than what had been anticipated by the General Plan Update EIR.
Section 15183(e) further specifies the analysis shall be limited to those environmental effects for which:
1. Each public agency with authority to mitigate any of the significant effects on the environment identified in the EIR on the planning of zoning action undertakes or requires others to undertake mitigation measure specified in the EIR which the lead agency found to be feasible, and
2. The lead agency makes a finding at a public hearing as to whether the feasible mitigation measures will be undertaken.
Implementation of the project will undertake all feasible mitigation measures specified in the General Plan Update EIR. Mitigation measures that remain applicable to the project are identified in the attached 15183 General Plan Consistency Checklist.
