X Categorical Exemption. State type and section number: Section 15301, Existing Facilities Statutory Exemptions. State code number:
Reasons why project is exempt: The proposed action is the acquisition of approximately 48.3 acres of real property located near Avenue F-8 and 60th Street East, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 3302-021-035, 3302-021-092, and 3302-020- 019, within the County of Los Angeles. This action does not constitute a decision by the City of Lancaster regarding further development of the vacant property. This action serves an essential role of securing land while the City of Lancaster determines its proposed uses for the property and a CEQA determination for the development of the site is performed.
The City of Lancaster will make no decision to undertake further development until it has complied with CEQA and an overall site development plan has been approved by the County of Los Angeles. The Proposed Action is exempt from the CEQA as it involves a land acquisition that is contingent on future CEQA compliance per Section 15004 and the Class 1 Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption applies per Section 15301. No expansion to the facility is proposed. The facility is not located along a scenic highway or on a hazardous materials site and would not result in cumulative or significant impacts. Additionally, the facility is not considered to be a historic resource.
