The roof will be "solar ready" for future solar panel installation. The reconfigured parking lot will include ten spaces (one accessible, four EV spaces) and two bicycle racks. Landscaping will cover 6,420 square feet with new trees and shrubs along Van Buren Street and Enterprise Way. The project will add four employees.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15332, Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
In conclusion, as shown herein, the proposed project meets all the criteria under the Class 32, In-Fill Development, Categorical Exemption, and none of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions under CEQA apply. Implementing the project would not cause a significant adverse effect on the environment because the proposed project would construct a new warehouse on a heavily disturbed site that is not a viable habitat for wildlife, is less than five (5) acres in size, is consistent with the City of Indio’s General Plan and Zoning Code and can be adequately served by utilities and public services. Therefore, the proposed project would qualify for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 – In-fill Development. Further, there is no substantial evidence indicating that any of the exceptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 – Exceptions apply to the project. Therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
