CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”), the City has reviewed the Project and determined that additional environmental review is not required for the Project pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080.66. The City has further determined that the Project satisfies the requirements of that section. If approved, the City will file a Notice of Exemption (Attachment 7) as required under Public Resources Code §§ 21008, 21152.
Public Resources Code § 21080.66, added by Assembly Bill (AB) 130, became effective in July 2025 to streamline the CEQA process for certain housing projects by exempting qualifying urban infill developments from portions of environmental review requirements. The legislation aimed to accelerate project approvals and reduce delays for development in already urbanized areas, while still maintaining targeted environmental and tribal consultation protections. Because the City determined that the Project qualifies for this statutory exemption, technical studies such as air quality and noise analyses are not required. However, the Project prepared a traffic study, which is discussed later in this report.
To qualify for streamlining under Public Resources Code § 21080.66, a project must satisfy a number of statutory requirements. The Applicant submitted an AB 130 Eligibility Checklist (Attachment 5), and staff determined that the Project satisfies the applicable eligibility requirements, including those relating to project size, urbanized location, infill status, absence of statutory exclusion areas, and the lack of any historic structure demolition.
AB 130 also requires consultation with California Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the Project Site. City staff conducted Tribal Consultation in accordance with the statute and incorporated Tribal Cultural Resource conditions into the Project’s Conditions of Approval at the request of one of the consulted tribes (Conditions of Approval 30–36).
Finally, AB 130 requires preparation of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA).
The Applicant submitted a Phase I ESA for the Project (Attachment 8) which staff reviewed and accepted. Consistent with California law, any recognized environmental conditions identified in the Phase I ESA must be remediated or otherwise addressed before issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
