Sec. 15303; Class: 3
Reasons for Exemption
The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption (Class 3) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15303 (New Construction and Conversion of Small Structures) because the project consists of the construction of new upper and lower floor decks totaling approximately 1,500 square feet, an interior remodel, re-roof, driveway redesign and right of way improvements. The project also proposes to establish an approximately 379 square-foot Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) within the lower level of the existing 1,075 square-foot single-family residence. The lot was previously disturbed for the construction of the existing single-family residence. The project will not require the removal of native trees or vegetation (Axon Biological Consulting, 2024). Further, there are no unusual circumstances surrounding the project. The project is located within a residential area with similarly developed lots. The proposed project does not impact any scenic resources for any officially designated scenic highways. The location of the proposed project is not within any hazardous waste site compiled pursuant to Gov. Code § 65962.5. The proposed project does not involve a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
