Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15332 - Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
A project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption if it is developed on an infill site and meets the following five (5) criteria:
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations; b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
a) The project is consistent with applicable general plan designation, applicable policies, and applicable zoning designations. The subject site is comprised of two residential lots that are developed with a one-story, 1,497 square foot single family dwelling. The lots are zoned RD2-1 with a Land Use Designation of Low Medium II Residential. The project proposes the demolition of the existing single-family dwelling and the construction of a two-story, 11,500 square foot four-unit apartment building. As such, the project is consistent with the applicable land use and zoning designation.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The subject site is located within the City of Los Angeles and is less than five acres in area. Additionally, the subject site is located in a residential neighborhood developed with single and multi-family dwellings.
c) The project has no value as habitat for endangered species, rare, or threatened species. The subject site is not located in a wildland area, not inhabited by endangered, rare, or threatened species, and is not located in a Significant Ecological Area. Furthermore, the immediate neighborhood surrounding the site is urbanized and developed with single and multi-family dwellings.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The project will be subject to compliance with Regulatory Compliance Measures (RCMs), which require compliance with the City of Los Angeles Noise Ordinance; pollutant discharge, dewatering, stormwater mitigations; and Best Management Practices for stormwater runoff. These RCMs will reduce any potential impacts on noise and water quality to less than significant. The creation of noise is limited to certain decibels and restricted to specific hours. Additionally, the proposed project is not adjacent to any water sources and does not involve excavations that may have an impact on the water table. Although the project will result in a net gain of three residential units, impacts to public services and air quality are deemed insignificant. Further, traffic congestion will not be impacted by the project; the number of trips generated by the development will not result in a net increase because the area's density and population will not change significantly. Likewise, air quality will not worsen as a result of the proposed project.
e) The proposed project has been reviewed by City staff and can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The subject site will be adequately served by all public utilities and services given its location in an urban tract with water supply, sewage and waste disposal infrastructure, and power line installation. Further, 6th Avenue is improved with existing utilities and infrastructure to serve the residential structures in the immediate neighborhood and is accessible to emergency vehicles. The project will result in a net gain of three units. As such, no significant increase in population or density is anticipated.
