Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
City of San Diego determined that the project would qualify to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures; and where the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 would not apply. This exemption includes example (a): "One single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone. In urbanized areas, up to three single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption." The project would construct a new single dwelling unit within the allowed development footprint of the lot and conform with the La Jolla Community Plan designation of Very Low Density Residential. The northwest corner of the project site is categorized as Eucalyptus Woodland, considered a Tier IV habitat type. A geological review of the project site shows that the slope consists of artificial fill and thus is not considered a natural steep hillside. The site does not contain or support Environmentally Sensitive Lands. The exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 do not apply. The site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 for hazardous waste sites.
