Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303
Reasons for Exemption
This project is eligible for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption per Section 15303 of the
State CEQA Guidelines as it involves the conversion of an existing small structure from one use (auto repair service) to another (convenience store) where only minor modifications are made to the exterior of the structure. The project is located in the Crestview Shopping Center and would not increase the size of any buildings. The proposed use-a convenience store-is principally permitted in the CNS Zoning District. The project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive.
