Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15303 (“New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”). This section consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel. Examples of this exemption include but are not limited to… (c) A store, motel, office, restaurant or similar structure not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area. In urbanized areas, the exemption also applies to up to four such commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on
sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive (d) Water main, sewage, electrical, gas, and other utility extensions, including street improvements, of reasonable length to serve such construction. The proposed project is for a new wireless communication facility concealed as a 60-foot-tall monobroadleaf and associated mechanical equipment and equipment enclosure. The project falls under 2,500 square feet
and does not involve significant amounts of hazardous substances while all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, the project is exempt per Section 15303, “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures,” of the CEQA Guidelines and no further CEQA analysis
is required.
