ENVIRONMENTAL
INFORMATION: This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to, but not limited to, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 (Minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations), Section 15307 (Actions by Regulatory
Agencies for the Protection of Natural Resources), and Section 15308
(Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) because
it accommodates the storage and sale of building materials and landscape
supplies on portions of a commercial nursery site that are already paved or
are unpaved but in a disturbed, non-native condition and retains a former
sand and gravel pit in a naturalized condition that has evolved since
excavation ceased, to include wetlands and habitat for flora and fauna
associated with the Santiago Creek corridor. For this reason, no further
CEQA documentation is required.
