Document Description
The Park Avenue Beautification Project consists of replacing the existing pedestrian and bicycle path adjacent to Park Avenue from E. 20th Street to E. Park Avenue. Several commercial driveways may need to be reconstructed to be brought up to current standards. Additional work includes removing approximately 25 trees, planting approximately 50 new trees, adding new or replacing outdated irrigation infrastructure, and replacing the art installation in the Park Avenue median near Meyers Street. Approximately 12 multi-use waste bins will be installed along Comanche Creek Greenway, beginning at the Meyers Street entrance. No right of way acquisition will be required, but Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs) may be needed.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301 (c) (Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves improvements to existing public facilities. The project involves no increase in capacity and serves built-out land uses. The project area has been previously disturbed, is surrounded by urban uses, and includes existing paved surfaces in need of treatment/rehabilitation. There are no unusual circumstances leading to a reasonable possibility that significant environmental impacts will result from the project. Therefore, the City finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Section 15301 (c).
