General Rule [Section 15061(b)(3)]
Reasons for Exemption
This action complies the Lake County Municipal Code, Chapter 17, Section 17.22, subsection 22.17, (c) As “Each of the parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment conforms to the Lake County General Plan, and any applicable zoning and building ordinances and, except in the case where one or more adjoining recorded legal lots are of less area than required by Chapter 21 of the County Code, said adjustment may be approved so long as any reduction or increase in lot size will not result in any loss or increase in development potential that would be inconsistent with the Lake County General Plan”. Additionally, this action complies with the Lake County Municipal Code, Zoning Article 7, “Minimum lot sizes of five (5) to twenty (20) acres may be approved when, as a result of physical features of the property, it is determined that adherence to the twenty (20) acre minimum parcel size would result in significant environmental impacts, or loss of agricultural efficiency, or physical separation of proposed parcels by physical features”. The proposed site has numerous water features as shown on USGS topographic maps, and one of the parcels is partially located on a ridgeline.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15061 (b)(3), The activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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 Lake County Community Development Department has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, exempt from the provisions of CEQA
