Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15183, 15162, 15164
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is subject to no further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning, as the project is consistent with the General Plan for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH#2010082060) was previously prepared and certified. Additionally, the project has been found to not trigger subsequent documentation under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 as no substantial changes are proposed in the project that would require revisions to the General Plan Update EIR, nor have substantial changes occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the proposed project would be undertaken require revisions to the General Plan Update EIR, nor has new information of substantial importance been identified that would indicate the project would have any new or more significant effects or require new or additional mitigation than what was included in the General Plan Update EIR. The programmatic mitigation measures from the General Plan Update EIR and/or the standard development requirements contained within FMC Chapter 18.218 adequately address the potential environmental effects of the project. The project is thus within the scope of the General Plan Update EIR and no further CEQA documentation is required. A CEQA Environmental Consistency Checklist prepared for the project presents substantial evidence that the analyses conducted, and the conclusions reached in the 2011 General Plan Update EIR (SCH#2010082060) remain valid, and no supplemental environmental review is required for the proposed project. The proposed project would not cause new significant impacts that were not previously identified in the EIR or result in a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. No new mitigation measures would be necessary to reduce significant impacts. No changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances that would cause significant environmental impacts to which the proposed project would contribute considerably, and no new information has been put forward that shows that the proposed project would cause new or substantially worsened significant environmental impacts. Therefore, no supplemental environmental review is required and an addendum to the 2011 General Plan Update EIR could be relied upon for CEQA clearance of the proposed project, in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
