Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(e)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301(e), which identifies additions to existing structures as exempt provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area of the structure before the addition or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less. The project proposes an addition of approximately 117 square feet on the first floor and an expansion of 63 square feet at the basement level. The addition and expansion total 180 square feet, which is less than 50 percent of the existing floor area (3,233 square feet) and less than 2,500 square feet. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(e).
