Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 32, Section 15332
Reasons for Exemption
This is a Class 32 (Infill Development Projects) categorical exemption based on Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The project is consistent with all applicable General Plan policies, the High Density Residential (HDR-22) land use designation, and general zoning requirements. The project site is within the City’s incorporated area on a parcel that is less than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project is within a developed residential area of the city and, based on a visual site assessment and a pattern of development surrounding the site, does not contain habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The project can be adequately
served by all required utilities. None of the exceptions to the exemption as outlined by
Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines apply. No further environmental review is
required.
