Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303, 15305
Reasons for Exemption
This project is eligible for a Categorical Exemption under Section 15303 (Class
3) and Section 15305 (Class 5) of CEQA, in that the project merely consists of construction of a modest addition (bedroom, bathroom, and office space) to an existing 1,188 sq.ft. home on a 2.03 acre parcel. The proposal involves a variance to reduce the side yard setback for a legal nonconforming residence in an area that arguably should be rezoned anyway, from General Forest District (with a 640 ac. development standard) to Rural Residential-2. The proposed reduced setback and the proposed house addition will have no adverse environmental effects or change the existing land use. Based on the exemption, comments received, and the whole record, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
