<br />Resolution No. 2022-XXX
<br />Page 4 of 9
<br />Policy 1.3 of the Housing Element that promotes a complementary mix of land uses that
<br />improves the character and stability of neighborhoods.
<br />
<br />Further, the proposed project will take place within city limits and is on a proj ect
<br />site that is less than five acres in size and is surrounded by urban areas. The project
<br />site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and is not
<br />identified in the General Plan as having such value. Approval of the project will not
<br />result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The
<br />City’s Planning Division and Public Works Agency have reviewed the proposed project
<br />and have determined that the amount of traffic, noise, air quality impacts, and water
<br />quality impacts are below thresholds that would warrant further analyses.
<br />
<br />Finally, the site will be served by all required utilities and public services as it is
<br />located within a heavily-urbanized area on First Street adjacent to major freeways.
<br />Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2021-116
<br />will be filed for this project.
