L. The City Council hereby authorizes staff to submit the required Project Application Form and all necessary documents to OC LAFCO to initiate the annexation process with that agency as shown on Exhibit 2. Section 2. CEQA Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78-acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, the Class-19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEQA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 3. Approvals.
