Reasons for Exemption
The project involves the establishment and operation of a 281-unit multi-family apartment project on a 7.1 ± acre undeveloped site. The Pacific and Midas Apartments Project CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Analysis and Checklist concluded the proposed project is consistent with the development
density established in the General Plan and is within the scope of the Prior FEIR and that no further CEQA documentation is required under Section 15183. The proposed project is exempt from CEQA, and further environmental analysis of the proposed project is not required for the following reasons:
1) No peculiar impacts have been identified as a result of the proposed project or its
site. Adherence to General Plan policies and standards along with regulations of
City and incorporation of identified project design features ensure impacts are
below the level of significance; and
2) There are no potentially significant impacts that were not analyzed as significant
in the certified Prior FEIR. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or
cumulative impacts that were not discussed by the certified Prior FEIR; and
3) No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the certified Prior FEIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects; and
4) No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under
which the proposed project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
certified Prior FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects,
and
5) There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time
the certified Prior FEIR was certified as complete.
The project as proposed is consistent with the exemption class description noted above and is exempt pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 20183.3 of the CEQA Statutes.
