Document Description
Discretionary Design Review Permit, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, and density bonus and development concessions requests in conjunction with the phased development of a six-story, 229-unit affordable housing project on a 2.68-acre site in the Irvington Community Plan Area; and consideration of an exemption from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Infill Development Projects, and a finding that no further environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, as the project is consistent with the density established by the General Plan for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH#2010082060) was previously prepared and certified, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3, as the infill project satisfies the performance standards of CEQA Guidelines Appendix M and would not cause any new specific effects or more significant effects not previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

Exempt Status

Type, Section or Code
Special Situations 15183 and 15183.3
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning. The project is consistent with the development densities established for the site, and furthermore carries out various land use, housing, and other policies of the General Plan, for which an Environmental Impact Report (Fremont General Plan Update EIR; SCH No. 2010082060) was prepared and certified by the Fremont City Council in December 2011 in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. There are no new significant effects peculiar to the project or the project site than previously identified in the General Plan Update EIR. The programmatic mitigation measures from the General Plan Update EIR and/or the standard development requirements contained within Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 18.218 adequately address the potential environmental effects of the project. The project is thus within the scope of the General Plan Update EIR and no further CEQA documentation is required.
Additionally, and on a separate and independent basis, the project qualifies for CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3, Streamlining for Infill Projects, in that it’s located on a site adjacent to urban uses, meets all Appendix M performance standards applicable to multi-family residential projects, and is consistent with Plan Bay Area, the region’s Sustainable Communities Strategy.
