Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15332 Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
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.
There is not a succession of known projects of the same type and in the same place as the project site. As mentioned, the project proposes a new, three (3)-story over one (1) basement story mixed-use building totaling 18,799 square feet, including 14 residential units with two (2) units set aside for Very Low Income Households, one (1) ground floor commercial space measuring 1,071 square feet, and 24 automobile parking spaces, in an area zoned and designated for such development. All adjacent lots are developed with commercial, single-family, and multi-family structures, and the project site is of a similar size and slope to nearby properties. Thus, there are no unusual circumstances which may lead to a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, 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. The proposed project is located over 24 miles away from Topanga State Park. Therefore, the project site will not create any impacts within a designated as a state scenic highway. Furthermore, according to Envirostor, the State of California's database of Hazardous Waste Sites, neither the project site, nor any site in the vicinity, is identified as a hazardous waste site. The project site has not been identified as a historic resource by focal or state agencies, and the project site has not been determined to be eligible for fisting 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. 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.
