Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines 15332- Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
King City previously prepared and certified (September 2016) a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the amendment of the City’s Zoning Code (Ordinances 2016- 728, 729 and 730) to allow new Cannabis land uses in the Industrial Districts (M-1, M-2, M-3). Staff review of the proposed use and its impacts indicates that the use as proposed is consistent with the evaluation and findings of the previously approved MND with no potentially significant impacts to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The site is surrounded by urban uses and has an existing 15,641 square foot building that is served by existing utilities and public services. It is therefore exempt from additional CEQA review per CEQA Guidelines §15332 (infill development projects).
