Document Description
This project will establish a dog park at the northern portion of an existing City park (Almansor Park) site, located at 40 I Corio Street. An existing parking area will be converted to a 13,900 square feet dog park, including a restroom facility, penneable surfacing, fencing, trees, signage, bench seating, water fountains and paved pedestrian access to ensure the amenity is suitable for dogs and dog owners. The project also includes the transfer of the western portion of the property (approximately 102,018 sq. ft.) from the City of Alhambra to the West San Gabriel Valley YMCA and to utilize the eastern portion (approximately 60,027 sq. ft.) as the proposed dog park.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15303; 15060(c)(2); 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
This project will not have an impact on the environment and is therefore exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Class 3 Categorical Exemption) per Section 15303 as it involves the minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and consists with construction and location of limited numbers of new, small structures.
The proposed project does not involve major modifications to existing structures, but rather involves minor modifications to the surface material, perimeter fencing and site furnishings. The project will have no or negligible adverse impacts on aesthetics in the surrounding area.
The proposed transfer of ownership for a portion of the property will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is therefore exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15061(b)(3), the “common sense” exemption, which states 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 exempt from CEQA. The site currently has an operating YMCA facility on it and there is no proposed change in the use as a result of the property transfer.
