Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 31 (Rehabilitation of a Historical Resource)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 153001 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) as the project involves modifications and additions to an existing structure that do not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area of the structure. The project is also exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15331 (Class 31 – Rehabilitation of a Historical Resource) as the project would be removing non-historic portions of the existing structure in such a manner as to preserve the historically significant portions and preserving the structure through modifications to accommodate continued use as a single-family residence. The proposed project is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for a rehabilitation and addition to a historic building and therefore qualifies for a categorical exemption under Class 31. The project is eligible to utilize a categorical exemption because it is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards and is not subject to the exceptions to categorical exemption as set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.
