Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Public Resources Code Section 21080.66
Reasons for Exemption
The Project qualifies for the statutory exemption under PRC Section 21080.66 for urban infill housing development projects, signed into law in 2025 pursuant to Assembly Bill 130. The Project is a housing development project as defined in Government Code Section 65905.5 and meets the applicable criteria of PRC Section 21080.66(a), with the exception of General Plan and zoning consistency. Pursuant to the “near miss” streamlining recently passed under Senate Bill 131, eligibility for this exemption extends to projects that would meet all but one of the criteria of PRC Section 21080.66(a). The Project’s need for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow the proposed residential density falls within this near miss provision. The Project otherwise satisfies the requirements of PRC Section 21080.66, including urbanized location, site size, minimum density, hazardous materials due diligence, and compliance with the tribal cultural resource procedures under subdivision (b). Accordingly, the Project is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to PRC Section 21080.66.
