Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The zoning text amendment is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which provides that a project is exempt from CEQA when it is covered by the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect. The zoning text amendment would authorize the establishment of agritourism uses in agricultural zoning districts after the issuance of a ministerial permit or a land use permit. No specific project is approved with this Zoning Text Amendment.
