6. The Planned Development Project includes adequate provIsIons for utilities, services, and emergency vehicle access; and that public service demands will not exceed the capacity of the existing and planned systems. There is adequate public service provided to the proposed subdivision, including but not limited to the gas and electric, the water, waste disposal, cable TV, and police and fire services. The Engineering and Transportation Department, and Fire Department have found the access to the site to be safe for vehicular, pedestrian and emergency vehicle access. California Environmental Ouality Act Catee:orical Exemption Findine:s Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Article 19, Sections 15303 (b) and 15332, the project to construct six residential units is categorically exempt from CEQA. Section 15303 (b) provides that new construction in urbanized areas for not more than six units is categorically exempt from CEQA. Moreover, Section 15332 provides that if a project is consistent with the general plan and the zoning code, is located on a site with no more than five acres, and has no value for endangered or rare or threatened species, and if approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air or water quality, and if all required utilities and public services can adequately serve the site, the residential project is categorically exempt from CEQA. The rezoning is exempt from CEQA, per CEQA Guideline, Section 15061 (b) (3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the rezoning in question may have a significant effect on the environment. In this case, the base residential multi-family designation is not changing - only the level of density, which in this case is a less dense proposal.
