Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed use has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and 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 proposes project is an application for a new wireless communication
facility that will be concealed “stealth” as a 70’ eucalyptus tree located at the northwest corner of Corson Avenue and Bradley Road. The
proposed cell tower is a structure that does not involve significant amounts of hazardous substances and does not exceed 2,500 square
feet in floor area as the project only includes 600 square feet of floor area (cell tower and lease area combined). Therefore, the project is
exempt per Section 15303, “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures,” of the CEQA Guidelines. In addition, the project site is
not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (California Department of
Toxic Substances Control list of various hazardous sites).
