State type and section number: Class 32 Exemption, Section 15332 of CEQA Guidelines, In-Fill Development Projects � Statutory Exemptions. State code number: Reasons why project is exempt: The Burlingame General Plan designates this site for Service and Special Sales. The subject property is located within the boundaries of the planning area for the Downtown Specific Plan, specifically in the California Drive Mixed Use District, which designates this site for auto showrooms, hotel or retail uses on the ground floor, and housing, offices or hotel uses on the upper floors. The proposed project includes retail and o�ce uses on the ground floor and offices on the second through fourth floors. The proposed project complies with all applicable zoning regulations, including building height, setbacks and build-to lines, ground floor ceiling heights, and off-street parking (with payment of parking in-lieu fee). The proposed development is on a project site of 0.26 acres and is surrounded by urban uses, including one and two-story commercial buildings across the railroad tracks and East Lane to the north, multi-story commercial buildings across California Drive to the south, a one-story commercial building to the east, and the Burlingame Train Station across South Lane to the west. The project site is located in an urban area and is surrounded by commercial development. The project site is completely developed with a paved parking area and is currently used as a vehicle display area by an automotive dealership. There are no large or significant trees, riparian habitat or other sensitive plant communities on the project site. There are no creeks or wetlands present on the project site. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Downtown Specific Plan, which analyzed potential impacts of new infill development and included standard conditions of approval to mitigate potential environmental impacts from projects. The proposed project is located within the Downtown Specific Plan and conforms with development assumptions incorporated into the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Downtown Specific Plan. With incorporation of these standard conditions of approval, the project would not result in any significant efFects relating to trafFic, noise, air quality, or water qualiry. The project site is located in an urban area and is surrounded by commercial development which is served by utility and public services. The existing paved parking area will be replaced with a four-story building on the same lot and can be adequately served by required utility and public services.
