Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, 15303, and 15304
Reasons for Exemption
Per 14 CCR Section 15301 Existing Facilities; Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures; and Section 15304 Minor Alterations to Land. The proposed structure is synonymous with “single-family residence” as written in this section. Though only one (1) single-family residence is permitted per legal parcel for the Rangeland zoning district in which the property is located, one (1) Farm Employee Housing unit is permitted per ownership as well (County Code Section 20.016.015). This Farm Employee Housing Unit is not required to meet normal density requirements. Since “the number of structures described in this section [15303] are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel”, the proposed Farm Employee Housing unit is exempt. The potential environmental impacts related to the implementation of Section 20.016.015 were previously addressed when the General Plan and/or zoning ordinance were adopted. Demolition of the existing residence is exempt per Section 15301(l)(2). Adding gravel to existing roads and extending the gravel roadway is exempt under Section 15304(a) because it would not result in the removal of trees and minimal ground disturbance would occur.
