MEMORANDUM
September 12, 2025
TO:
Nancy Arroyo, Real Property Agent I
Economic Development Department
FROM: Nicole D. Moore, LEED-AP, Contract Planner
Community Development Department
SUBJECT: CEQA NOE 46-25 - RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATIONS FOR THE STOCKTON
DIAMOND GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT
The Community Development D epartment received a request to review the above-referenced project for conformity with the Stockton General Plan and make an environmental determination pursuant to the Califor
nia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Stockton’s Economic Development Department received a request from the Union Pacific Railroad and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission to dedicate rights-of-way for the Stockton Diamond Grade Separation Project at the following crossings: Main Street, Market Street, Lafayette Street, Hazelton Avenue, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Boulevard. Please see the attached Exhibits for more information.
In accordance with Government Code §65402, the Community Development Department determines the proposed dedication of land is neutral in regard to conformity with the Stockton General Plan. Future development of the subject parcels shall be under the jurisdiction of the City of Stockton.
Concerning the California Envi ronmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination, the Community Development Department concludes that the dedication of rights -of-way is covered by the common sense exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question (dedication of land) may have a significant effect on the environment. The project is also not subject to any of the exceptions to the use of a Categorical Exemption listed at CEQA Guidelines §15300.2.
Upon approval by City Council and per SB 69, the Economic Development Department is required to file the attached Notice of Exemption with the San Joaquin County Clerk’s Office to initiate a 35- day statute of limitations on court challenges. The Economic Development Department is also required to upload a copy of the filed NOE with the State Clearinghouse. Please retain a copy of the original posted notice within the project file in the Economic Development Department file directory.
