LOCATION:
REQUEST: The applicant proposes to establish a permanent new car inventory storage lot
on a portion of vacant property.
ENVIRONMENTAL The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
INFORMATION: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section
15331 (Class 32) In-Fill Development Projects. The project involves minor site
modifications such as paving, landscaping, and security lighting. The property
has no value as habitat for rare or endangered species, as it already utilized as a
temporary vehicle storage lot on gravel with the remaining portion of the area
being turf, with no natural habitat remaining. The storage use would not use a
significant amount of hazardous substances, the project site is served by all
necessary public services, and the surrounding area is not environmentally
sensitive. The project does not trigger the exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines
Section 5300.2 because the project does not have cumulative impacts, cause a
significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, is not near a
scenic highway, is not located on a hazardous waste site, and does not contain
historic resources.
