Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed tentative parcel map is being processed in conjunction with a previously approved single-family residence, for which the Design Review Board relied on Section 15303 in its February 12, 2026 approval of related entitlements. Consistent with that prior determination, staff recommends continued reliance on Section 15303 because the parcel map does not authorize any new development beyond what has already been reviewed and approved. The map consolidates three underlying lots into one legal parcel to implement Condition No. 22 of Resolution No 2025-1431 and to establish a single legal building site for the approved residence. Further, none of the exceptions to categorical exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. The site does not contain any environmentally sensitive habitat areas. Although a modified watercourse and associated setback traverse the property, the biological and hydrological implications of development adjacent to that drainage feature were previously evaluated through the approved residential project, and no environmentally sensitive habitat areas were identified. The parcel map would not result in cumulative impacts, as it consolidates existing lots and does not create additional building sites or increase development intensity beyond the one previously approved dwelling. There are no unusual circumstances that would give rise to a reasonable possibility of a significant environmental effect; the parcel map involves only the administrative merger of three contiguous lots on a site already evaluated for geotechnical, hydrological, biological, access, and design related constraints. The project would not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, as the property is located inland within an established residential neighborhood and is not within a designated state scenic highway corridor. The site does not contain any historic buildings, archaeological resources, or other historical resources, and the parcel map would not authorize additional ground disturbance beyond what was previously reviewed. The property is not listed on any hazardous waste site inventory compiled pursuant to Government Code§ 65962.5. For these reasons, the proposed Tentative Parcel Map qualifies for the Section 15303 categorical exemption, and no further environmental analysis is required under CEQA.
