Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15061, 15194
Reasons for Exemption
While relocation of residents would have social and economic impacts to existing residents, these impacts are not physical changes to the environment subject to CEQA. The proposed mobile home park closure is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the CEQA Guidelines "common sense exemption" (Cal. Code Regs., tit . 14, § 15061(b)(3)), which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The physical change to the environment which would occur due to the proposed closure of the mobile home park would consist of the removal or relocation of the existing mobile homes resulting in a vacant site for the contemplated new housing development, which would meet the criteria for exemption for affordable housing projects pursuant to Guidelines section 15194.
