Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3),
Reasons for Exemption
The County of San Luis Obispo Department of Planning and Building has reviewed the proposed activity and has identified that it qualifies for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the State CEQA Guidelines (Chapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations) and has determined that the proposed activity will not have a significant effect on the environment.
The proposed ordinance amendments qualify for a Common-Sense Exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)), will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15060(c)(2). The proposed amendments consist of changes ensuring consistency between regulations and applying development restrictions within the Shandon Habitat Buffer consistent with the original intent of the ordinance. Therefore, the proposed activity qualifies for the common-sense exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061 (b)(3), thus no further environmental review is required.
