Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15302/Class 2
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15302/Class 2 consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.
The demolition of the existing legal non-conforming self-serve car wash with dry-off canopy and construction a Ride & Shine Express Wash facility can be considered a replacement or reconstruction as the overall proposed building foot print of ±5,157 sq. ft facility is less than the combined ±6,360 sq. ft. self-serve car wash with dry-off canopy, and therefore will have the same purpose and capacity as the previous Car Wash facility that occupied the site address.
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.
