Reasons for Exemption
As lead agency under CEQA, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection finds that this project is Categorically Exempt. This project involves minor alteration to land and vegetation including the planting of new landscaping trees. As this is heavily distributed urban environment there is a low likelihood of impacting any significant biological resources. CDF's archaeological staff have reviewed the project and determined that there are no cultural of historic resources present in the prject vicinity. CDF finds that the proposed activities will pose a less than significant impact to the environment including cultural, historic and and biological resources.
