Reasons for Exemption
The project includes the rehabilitation of an existing fenced area into a 1-acre linear park. The existing site occupies City-owned land and a portion of the public right-of-way (DeForest Ave). The existing trees in the project area would remain in place and recreational amenities would be introduced into the remainder of the site. The site would continue as a public open space similar to existing conditions (Section 15301). All new park improvements and components would be consistent with uses allowed within open space uses (Section 15303). Accessory (appurtenant) structures to be installed include fitness stations, play equipment/structures, seating and benches, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking. The project includes minor alterations in the condition of land and vegetation for the installation of new pedestrian trails, a cycle track, landscaping with new trees and ground cover, bioswales, and paving. The project would include the net increase in new trees.
