Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Article 12: CEQA Guidelines 15183(a) Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning.
Reasons for Exemption
This project is exempt under Section 15183(a). The basis for the exemption is that Section 15183(a) states, “CEQA mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was 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. This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to prepare repetitive environmental studies.” Section 15183(d) states that this section shall apply only to projects which meet the following conditions:
(1) The project is consistent with:
a. A community plan adopted as part of a general plan,
b. A zoning action which zoned or designated the parcel on which the project would be located to accommodate a particular density of development, or
c. A general plan of a local agency, and
(2) An EIR was certified by the lead agency for the zoning action, the community plan, or the general plan.
The Project is exempt from environmental review because it is consistent with the Goshen Community Plan 2018 Update (GPA 14-001). Figure 21 – Proposed Land Use Map on Page 113 of the Goshen Community Plan 2018 Update shows that the Project site is within the Light Industrial Land Use Designation. Therefore, the Lead Agencies concludes that the use of Section 15183(a) is applicable and appropriate for this project.
