The City of Pomona, as lead agency, has conducted an environmental review of the proposed project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21084 et. seq.), the guidelines include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The proposed project meets the criteria for a Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302 in that the proposed project consists of the replacement of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The proposed project described above hereby meets the guidelines for a Categorical Exemption, therefore no further environmental review is required. Recommendation: The Planning Division recommends the Planning Commission approve the request as conditioned by Staff in the Draft Resolutions.
