Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15315; California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The City of Hanford determined the project to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15315 and 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The project meets the following conditions stated in Section 15315: project is a division of property in an urbanized area zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning; no variances or exceptions are required; all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available; parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous 2 years; and parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20%. Section 15303 states that Class 3 exemptions consist of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. With the division of the parcel into two new parcels, a restaurant in an urbanized area with a maximum floor area of 3,400 square feet on a site zoned for this use not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive will be constructed.
