Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4; California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15304(b)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project was reviewed for potential exemptions and was found to satisfy the standards of Class 4 as specified within Article 19 Categorical Exemptions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Class 4 consists of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes. Examples include, but are not limited to: (b) New gardening or landscaping, including the replacement of existing conventional landscaping with water efficient or fire resistant landscaping. The City has found that the proposal consists of Minor Alterations to Land. No mature trees will be removed as part of the project. The application meets the standards for Section 15304(b) in that the construction will consist of new landscaping, and will involve minimal land alteration in an area that is already developed and the soil is disturbed. The project site is located on City property. The project site is not environmentally sensitive, and it will not result in significant effects to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality with the construction of the new facilitie. No significant adverse effects were identified during the evaluation process. Therefore, the City of Whittier has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Notice of Exemption will be filed pursuant to Section 15062 of the CEQA Guidelines.
