Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 32 - In-Fill Development Projects, Section 15332
Reasons for Exemption
This Categorical Exemption consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the required conditions described below.
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Department staff conducted a preliminary review to determine whether a Categorical Exemption is adequate for the Department’s concurrence on this new SWFP. Department staff made the finding/determination that a Categorical Exemption, 14 CCR, Section 15332 – In-Fill Development Projects was adequate for the Department’s concurrence of this new SWFP. Staff’s finding is based on the premise that “this section is intended to promote infill development within urbanized areas. The class consists of environmentally benign in-fill projects which are consistent with local general plan and zoning requirements.” This project would not result in any significant traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality effects. The proposed use will be consistent with the heavy industrial land uses previously operating at the project site.
