Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301/Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301/Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.
The project is located within an existing building with commercial spaces, restaurants, parking, and landscaping. The project requests to establish a new type 48 alcohol licenses for a new bar within an existing ±1,044 square-foot tenant space which involves negligible expansion of existing commercial uses.
None of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to the project. Furthermore, the proposed project site is a developed property in an urbanized area and is not expected to have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, a categorical exemption, as noted above, has been prepared for the project and the area is not environmentally sensitive.
