Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061(b)(3) (“Common Sense”)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), referred to as the commonsense rule, that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. A Planned Unit Development was approved in 2004 for the construction of 286 units on 68.2-acre site. Of the 286 approved residential units, the Applicant is proposing to construct the remaining 83 single family homes and is requesting a front yard variance for 19 of the homes. The proposed variance will not
have a significant effect on the environment because the use will remain single family homes within the recorded lots of record and the encroachments face an open space lot will not impact adjacent homes.
