Type, Section or Code
Class 32, Infill Exemption, Section 15332
Reasons for Exemption
The use permit and record of proceedings include substantial evidence supporting the findings that the project meets all the requirements of the Infill Development Project exemption (Section 15332). The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and policies, and with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. The project occurs within Berkeley City limits on a project site of no more than five acres and is surrounded by urban uses. The parcels within the project site have previously been developed and have no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.

City Standard Conditions will address potential impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, and water quality. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Furthermore, substantial evidence in the record supports the finding that none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply: (a) the site is not located in an environmentally sensitive area, (b) there are no cumulative impacts, (c) there are no significant effects, (d) the project is not located near a scenic highway, (e) the project site is not located on a hazardous waste, and (f) the project will not cause a substantial adverse impact on a historical resource.
