Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Government Code section 65457; California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15182
Reasons for Exemption
CDFW determined that the Project and issuance of this ITP is statutorily exempt from environmental review pursuant to Government Code section 65457 and California Code of Regulations title 14, section 15182. Issuance of the ITP, in this respect, is statutorily exempt from environmental review under CEQA because under Government Code section 65457 and California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15182, CEQA does not apply to certain residential projects, including but not limited to land subdivisions, zoning changes, and residential planned unit developments undertaken pursuant to and in conformity to a specific plan for which a public agency prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) after January 1, 1980, and no events subsequent to adoption of the specific plan have required a subsequent or supplemental EIR pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15162. The Project is a residential planned unit development undertaken pursuant to and in conformity to the Roseland Area/Sebastopol Road Specific Plan, adopted by the City of Santa Rosa (City) on October 18, 2016, for which the City certified the Roseland Area/Sebastopol Road Specific Plan and Roseland Area Annexation Projects EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2016012030) on that same date, and no events subsequent to adoption of the Roseland Area/Sebastopol Road Specific Plan have required a subsequent or supplemental environmental review.
