Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15332 – Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
the Project meets all of the criteria for the Class 32 exemption.
(a) 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 Land Use Element of the General Plan of the City of Los Angeles consists of a Framework Element and 35 Community Plans. The Framework Element contains a Long-Range land Use Diagram that depicts the Project site as within a Mixed Use Boulevard which are intended to be generally characterized by up to
3- to 6-story mixed use buildings. The Project is a 5-story mixed-use building and therefore is consistent with the long-range land use envisioned in the Framework Element. The Project site is located within the Silver Lake-Echo Park-Elysian Valley Community Plan area, which designates the site as Community Commercial, within which the proposed project is a consistent use, as footnote 13 on the Community Plan Land Use Map states that mixed use development with residential over ground floor commercial is
encouraged in this designation. The Project’s consistency with the Community Plan objectives and policies is addressed on the following page in Table 1: Consistency with Silver Lake-Echo Park-Elysian Valley Community Plan. As shown in Table 1, the Project would be consistent with the applicable policies of the Silver Lake-Echo Park-Elysian Valley Community Plan.
The Community Plan states that its goals, objectives, policies, and programs were created to meet the needs of the community through the year 2010. The Community Plan was adopted in 2004. At the time the forecasted 2010 population of the Community Plan area was 81,950 and the estimated potential plan capacity was 94,900 residents. However, the City has reported that the population of the Community Plan area only reached 70,088 in 2010 and has declined to 67,387 by 2021.2 The current estimated population for the entire City is approximately 3,973,278 people.3 SCAG has forecast that City will grow to a population of 4,771,300 by 2045, an increase of close to 800,000.4 As such, the Project does not represent a substantial increase in the population of the Community Plan area or the City and is within the SCAG projections for population growth. The Project would provide 121 housing units which could accommodate up to 288 people at the average household size for renter occupied units in the Community Plan area.
