Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects, Section 15332
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. The proposed Project is located within the PF (Public Facility) land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map, and the CIV (Civic) zoning district. The proposed Project is consistent with all applicable general plan policies, as well as with the CIV (Civic) zoning designation and applicable Development Code regulations. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The Project is proposed within the established boundaries of the City of Ontario, on approximately 1.2 acres of land, which is surrounded by Civic Center facilities to the north, south and west, and residential land uses to the east. The Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The subject site is currently improved with a parking lot serving City Hall, is devoid of any flora or fauna, is regularly used for passenger vehicle parking by neighboring residents, and as such is not a suitable habitat for any endangered, rare, or threatened species. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The proposed office building is similar to, and of no greater impact than other allowed uses and development projects within the CIV (Civic) zoning district. The Project would not result in any significant impacts through implementation of required state, regional, and local development and performance standards, and as demonstrated in the Categorical Exemption Justification Memorandum prepared for the Project in Attachment A. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. All necessary wet and dry utilities are available for the Project site.
