As set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 Class 32, the project is categorically exempt because the project meets the general plan and zoning regulations, is on a lot less than 5 acres within an urban context, does not contain habitat for endangered species, and would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. c.
