ANALYSIS:
Edith Molina and Enrique Gonzalez are the owners of a vacant lot located at 884 West Kendall Street in the R1-7.2 (Single-Family Residential) Zone, as shown on Exhibit “A.” The owners are proposing to construct a single-family residence on the 0.22-acre lot.
The owners will enter into an Improvement Agreement with the City and post sufficient securities to guarantee construction of street and water public improvements associated with the project.
In compliance with Grading Ordinance No. 2568, the owners will also enter into a Grading Agreement to secure the precise grading operations, which include drainage improvements. A cash deposit has been posted to guarantee erosion control. The grading design conforms to the Grading Ordinance, and is consistent with sound engineering standards and practices. The elevation design minimizes significant height and slope differentials from surrounding properties, while maintaining the City’s obligation to protect the health and safety of citizens and property.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely approves agreements that provide security to guarantee completion of improvements that are required in connection with a ministerial permit, and there is no possibility that approving these agreements will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
