Body
ANALYSIS:
Parcel Map 37357 was approved by City Council on March 20, 2019, for the subdivision of 6.8-acres into two parcels located on the south side of Ontario Avenue and west of Buena Vista Avenue, owned by the Evangelical Free Church of Corona, California, Inc. Parcel 1 of this map is a 0.61-acre vacant lot located at 1025 Othello Lane in the R1-9.6 (Single Family Residential) Zone, as shown on Exhibit “A.” Worthington Construction, Inc., is proposing to construct a single-family residence on this lot.
The developer will enter into an Improvement Agreement with the City and post sufficient securities to guarantee construction of the public street improvements associated with the project.
In compliance with Grading Ordinance No. 2568, the developer 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:
Per Section 15070 of the State Guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and Section 6.02 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for Parcel Map 37357, because the Initial Study identified that the project’s potentially significant effects to the environment are capable of being mitigated to less than significant. City Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Plan on March 20, 2019. Additionally, this action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of CEQA Guidelines, 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.
