Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 32, Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects)
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies, as well with applicable zoning designation and regulations because the proposed multi-family residential development is consistent with the South Orange Street Urban V of the South Centre City Specific Plan. The project occurs with City limits on no more than five acres, substantially surrounded by urban uses in that the Project site is approximately .18 acres and is located with an urbanized area. The Project site has not value as habitat or endangered, rare or threatened species as the project site was previously developed with a single family residential development and previously disturbed. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality in that the Project would be required to comply with the City's noise ordinance, which includes construction and operational nose limits. The project is considered a "small residential project" as it generates fewer than 200 daily trips and therefore is under the City's threshold for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analyses; the project is designed to comply with required water regulations for the purposes of containing drainage and ensuring water quality. Project construction would be required to comply with the Air Quality Resources Board's standards on construction emission. The Project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Regulations except for all waivers requested and granted as a part of the Density Bonus Request and would therefore not result in adverse impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; the Project site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services in that the Project site is previously developed site with existing utilities located adjacent to the site.
