Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines section 15301(a)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(a) meeting all applicable conditions, as further described below.
1. The project is consistent with the applicable General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation and the Commercial General (CG) zoning designation. General automotive repair is permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the CG zone of the East Valley Parkway Area Plan. The project involves the use of an existing, vacant 9,059 square foot commercial building in a multi-tenant center which was comprehensively designed and approved for automotive repair prior to the adoption of the Area Plan, with minor interior and exterior alterations. The proposed use, a collision repair with vehicle paint booth, would conduct all activities indoors, and there will be no outdoor vehicle storage, outdoor repair, outdoor car wash or outdoor detailing services. The project site is located in a developed area of the city where all necessary public services and facilities are available on site and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The project thus adheres to the criteria of CEQA Guidelines section 15301(a).
2. Furthermore, none of the exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply to the proposed project. The project will not result in a cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, given the proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code and General Plan policies. There are no unusual circumstances surrounding the proposed project that would result in a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment in that the area of impact is already disturbed and improved with an existing, permitted building and parking lot, and all improvements would be required to comply with local and state laws. The project will not damage scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources, because the locations of the proposed improvements would be located within an area of the City previously disturbed and developed. The project area is not environmentally sensitive.
