Environmental Assessment No. 2026-05 for Rezone Application No. 2026-01 (Ordinance No. 2026-002)

Environmental Assessment No. 2026-05 relates to Rezone Application No. 2026-01 and Ordinance No. 2026-002 for the City of Reedley, California. The project involves the reclassification of a 1.11-acre parcel located at 1533 East Myrtle Avenue (APN 370-345-06) from Medium Density Residential with a PUD Overlay to Low Density Residential (R-1-6). This action is intended to align the zoning of the property with its existing Low Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation. The project is managed by the City of Reedley Community Development Department, with City Planner Ellen Moore serving as the primary point of contact. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the project has been granted a Common Sense Exemption. This determination means the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review and the preparation of environmental documents because the rezone corrects a zoning inconsistency without initiating physical development.
