PROJECT ADDRESS: Herondo Street between N. Pacific Coast Highway and N. Francisca Avenue
PROPOSED PROJECT: Installation of forty-three (43) 2-inch circumference steel galvanized poles, 48-inches in height, along the sidewalk for the purpose of parking meter placement. The poles will be installed 12-inches underground, and extend 36-inches above ground.
In accordance with Chapter 3, Title 10, Section 10-3.301(a) of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code, the above-referenced project is Categorically Exempt from the preparation of environmental review documents pursuant to:
Section 15303(e) of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which exempts the construction of new small structures from environmental review. This finding is supported by the fact that the proposed project consists of the installation of 43 freestanding poles, no taller than 48-inches in height with a circumference of only 2-inches.
The subject sight is neither located within an area designated as an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, nor within an officially designated, state scenic highway, nor with a hazardous waste site included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
