Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project, consisting of minor text amendments to the SPA 1 section of the Norwalk Municipal Code, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061 (b)(3), the "Common Sense" Exemption. This exemption applies to the proposed project as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the code amendments would have a significant effect on the environment. Because the proposed amendments are administrative in nature, focusing on regulatory text changes that do not entail physical development or alterations, the project would not result in significant effects on the environment.
