APPLICANT: Jennifer Arias
Core States
4240 E Jurupa St
Ontario CA, 91761
PROJECT LOCATION: A portion of Lot 11, on the north side of 5106 W Shaw Ave (APN:
508-120-22S), which is located along W Shaw Ave, between N Forestiere Ave and N Cornelia Ave.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The scope of work for the proposed project includes the vacation of the 10-foot-wide sewer easement along the northeast boundary of APN 508-120-22S.
This project is exempt under Section 15305/Class 5 (Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitations) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. None of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2, apply to this project.
EXPLANATION: Section 15305 (Class 5/Minor Alteration in Land Use Limitations) of the CEQA Guidelines exempts from the provisions of CEQA projects consisting of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density, including but not limited to minor lot line adjustments not resulting in the creation of any new parcel.
The project site is currently improved as a restaurant and drive through, with no adjustments to land use or density proposed. The project site is located along a major transit corridor and is served by all necessary utilities and public services. The proposed vacation of a ten- foot-wide sewer easement meets the criteria noted above. There is no substantial evidence in the record that any of the exceptions to these Categorical Exemptions, set forth in CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2, apply to this project.
Therefore, no adverse environmental impacts will occur as a result of the proposed project.
