This project was originally noticed and advertised as being consistent with certified Mitigated Negative Declaration 17-02, approved in conjunction with Planned Unit Development Master Plan 17-01, for the purposes of environmental review, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon further review, staff has determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, Class 3 "New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures." This exemption class consists of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures, including commercial uses not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not sensitive. As further described in this staff report, the proposed two-unit commercial building would be 3,875 square feet. In addition, the project is proposed on a parcel that was part of Planned Unit Development Master Plan 17-01. The infrastructure required for the implementation of this Master Plan has been constructed. The proposed project does not meet any of the exceptions described in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. The location of the Project is predominantly urban and not considered a sensitive environment; therefore, the Project will not result in any significant impacts that may otherwise occur in a sensitive environmental area. 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 and construction of this Project. Therefore, the Project is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to the provision under Section 15061(B)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
