Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15183
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15183 (PRC Section 21083.3), provides 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." The Planning Division of the Community & Economic Development Department has determined that this project is consistent with the Final EIR for the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan certified in October 2021 (SCH No. 2021040089) subject to compliance with the approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 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 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan. 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 is not currently developed with residential uses; however, the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan permits Multifamily Residential development with the approval of a Design Review in the R-3-1500 zone. The property is located within existing Railroad noise contours of 70 Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). A Noise Study was submitted by the developer to assess noise impacts due to the proximity of the railroad and was reviewed and approved by city staff. The recommendations of the study contained a condition of approval to erect an 8-foot block wall for sound attenuation at the southerly property line which has been incorporated into the project. Furthermore, this property is designated as a “High A” for Paleontological Sensitivity. The developer prepared a Paleontological Report which contained a recommendation for paleontological monitoring during grading activities which has been applied as a condition of approval to the project. No other impacts have been identified as a result of the project that have not been otherwise analyzed in the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan. The project complies with all measures outlined in the Mitigation and Monitoring Program of the 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.
The project is not anticipated to result in significant effects which were not analyzed in the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan. The project complies with the adopted Mitigation and Monitoring Program of the 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.
The project is not anticipated to result in significant off-site and cumulative impacts which were not analyzed in the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan. The project complies with the adopted Mitigation and Monitoring Program of the 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 the determination of a more severe impact that has been analyzed and anticipated in the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update/Housing Implementation Plan EIR.
