Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
This Notice of Exemption is filed pursuant to the provisions of Section 15062 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the CEQA Guidelines pursuant to the Provisions of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code, Section 15301(a) (Existing Facilities) as an existing agricultural facility converting to a related use involving minor interior tenant improvements. No additional land disturbance or grading will take place on-site. A rainwater recapture system will offset additional water use from the existing on-site well. The catchment system and associated equipment, including a 15,000-gallon water storage tank, will be placed within the barn structure or on previously-disturbed area outside of the riparian corridor. Conversion of the barn building interior with processing racks and other improvements will not alter existing site conditions. There are no unusual circumstances at the site or in the project vicinity that will have a significant effect on the environment (15300.2). No exceptions listed under Section 15300.2 apply. There is no reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment.
