Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15332, Class 32
Reasons for Exemption
This Project was reviewed pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt under Section 15332, Class 32: "In-fill Development Projects" of the CEQA Guidelines in that the Project is consistent with the General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies, the Project site is less than five acres and surrounded by urban uses. The Conservation/Natural Resources chapter of the General Plan does not
identify the Project site as an area of biological sensitivity. As a result, the Project site has no value as a habitat for rare, endangered or threatened fish or wildlife. The Project would not cause significant impacts to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Based on the ITE trip generation rates, the proposed Project is forecast to generate approximately 151 daily trips, which include approximately 10 AM peak hour trips and 12 PM peak hour trips. The Project's trip generation does not exceed the typical 50 peak hour trip threshold nor the County of Orange's 200 daily trip threshold. As such, the proposed Project is not expected to result in any significant adverse impacts OD· the Operations of the roadway network and intersections and traffic impact analysis is not required. Furthermore, based on the North Orange County Collaborative VMT Traffic Study Screening Tool (NOCC+), the proposed Project is screened out from a full VMT analysis based on its location within a Low VMT Area and is presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT under CEQA therefore, no additional VMT analysis is required. The very low trip generation
from the Project also results in less than significant operational noise and air quality impacts. Construction noise and air quality impacts are governed by the La Habra Municipal Code and AQMD Rule 403. The Project does not require import or export of dirt and the grading quantities are minimal. Prior to discharging storm flows into an existing storm drain, the Project will treat the initial storm runoff through a modular wetland system or similar water quality B.MP, ensuring compliance with the MS4 requirements. Because this is a redevelopment project, the site can and will continue to be adequately served by all utilities and public services. The Project is not subject to any of the exceptions for exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. The cumulative impact of this project, and the approval of other projects like it in the vicinity, is not expected to have any significant environmental
impact. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. Staff does not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval of this project.
