Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15304 (Minor Alternations of Land)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project includes the renovation of several accessory buildings and minor disking and tilling of the land for the planting of commercial cannabis. The proposed cultivation and structures are consistent with the General Plan designation of MB and zoning designation of MBL. The project site is located within the City of Coalinga City limits on a 13-acre parcel that is already substantially developed and surrounded by existing industrial development and does not have any value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The applicant has a legal water source on the premises, will not draw groundwater (onsite) for the purposes of irrigation, will not allow illicit discharges of irrigation or storm water from the premises, will not allow the off-site drift or discharge of chemicals, and will be connected to the City of Coalinga sewer system. Therefore, the proposed project meets all requirements established by Section 15304 of CEQA Guidelines and can consequently be considered exempt from the provisions of CEQA under a Class 4 exemption (minor alterations to land).
