Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15332 Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed request is Categorically Exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 15332, of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts in-fill development projects that have no significant impacts to the environment. The project qualifies as in-fill development because although no development is proposed, it consists of modifying the General Plan land use designation from MR (Medium Residential, 6.1 to 10 dwelling units per acre) to RC (Regional Commercial) / PF (Public Facilities) and zone from R-2 (Medium Residential, 6.1 to 10 dwelling units per acre) to C-4 (Commercial Center) / PF (Public Facilities) for three contiguous parcels. Additionally, the request resolves a past misdesignation, because one of the three parcels is a public utility site containing a water well, which was previously erroneously designated as R-2. The proposed request is within the City limits on a site of five acres and is substantially surrounded by urban uses across Pearblossom Highway to the south, existing commercial uses to the east, existing single-family residences to the west, and existing railroad tracks to the north. No development is proposed at this time and future development will require additional review and approval.
