The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access or use of the property within the proposed project since there are no existing and recorded easements for the property. The conceptual design of all construction for the property will not affect any future proposed expansion or development of Fifth Street. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommendation is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15162 and 15168 (EIR No. 2014-01) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed development project has been determined to be adequately evaluated and is within the scope of the previously certified EIR. The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan and Harbor Mixed-Used Transit Corridor Specific Plan development standards. The project meets several General Plan goals and policies, including Land Use Element’s Goal 1 (to promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs), Goal 2 (to promote land uses which enhance the City’s economic and fiscal viability), and Goal 3 (to preserve and improve the character and integrity of neighborhoods). Further, the proposed project will take place within city limits and is on a project site that is less than five acres in size and is surrounded by urban areas. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and is not identified in the General Plan as having such value. Approval of the project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The City’s Planning Division and Public Works Agency have reviewed the proposed project and have determined that the amount of traffic, noise, air quality impacts, and water quality impacts are below thresholds that would warrant further analyses. Finally, the site will be served by all required utilities and public services as it is located within a heavily-urbanized area at the northeast intersection of Fifth and Jackson Streets. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-10 will be filed for this project. 4-9
