Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15332 Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
The City has considered whether the Proposed Project is subject to any of the five (5) Exceptions that would prohibit the use of a categorical exemption as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. There are five (5) Exceptions which must be considered in order to find a project exempt under Class 32: (a) Cumulative Impacts; (b) Significant Effect; (c) Scenic Highways; (d) Hazardous Waste Sites; and (e) Historical Resources.
(a) Cumulative Impacts.
There is not a succession of known projects of the same type and in the same place as the subject project. As mentioned, the project proposes a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the merger of two (2) lots comprised of approximately 15,510 square feet to be subdivided into six (6) new small lots for the construction of 6 new units including 4 new three (3)-story residential units with a two (2)-car garage, conversion of a single family unit to a duplex, and construction of a new two story unit over ground level carport.
(b) Significant Effect.
The project involves the demolition of a detached garage. An existing duplex will remain unaltered on site. The subject site is zoned and designated for such development. All adjacent lots are developed with single and multi-family developments, and the subject site is of a similar size and slope to nearby properties. Properties in the immediate surrounding area are zoned R2-1-O and R3-1-O and designated for Low Medium I Residential and Medium Residential. Abutting property to the north is zoned R3-1-O and improved with a single-family dwelling. Abutting properties to the west are zoned R2-1-O and improved with two-story multi-family structures and single-story single-family dwelling. Abutting property to the south is zoned R3-1-O and improved with a two-story multi-family building. Adjoining properties to the east, across Burnside Avenue, are zoned R3-1-O and improved with two-story multi-family structures. The project proposes a FAR of 1.4:1 on a site that is permitted to have a maximum FAR of 3:1. Thus, there are no unusual circumstances which may lead to a significant effect on the environment.
(c) Scenic Highways
The only State Scenic Highway within the City of Los Angeles is the Topanga Canyon State Scenic Highway, State Route 27, which travels through a portion of Topanga State Park.State Route 27 is located approximately 12 miles west of the subject property. Therefore, the subject site will not create any impacts within a designated as a state scenic highway.
(d) Hazardous Waste Sites
According to Envirostor, the State of California’s database of Hazardous Waste Sites, neither the subject site, nor any site in the vicinity, is identified as a hazardous waste site.
(e) Historical Resources
The project site has not been identified as a historic resource by local or state agencies, and the project site has not been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments Register, and/or any local register; and was not found to be a potential historic resource based on the City’s HistoricPlacesLA website or SurveyLA, the citywide survey of Los Angeles. Finally, the City does not choose to treat the site as a historic resource. Based on this, the project will not result in a substantial adverse change to the significance of a historic resource and this exception does not apply.
