Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 3 Section 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt under Section 15303 of the Sate CEQA Guidelines (Class 3, New Construction). The project meets the conditions for the new Construction Exemption, as it is a proposed addition to an existing building less than 10,000 square feet, with all services located on-site in the urban area of the City of Solvang. The proposed project included a traffic study that concluded that the proposed addition will not generate additional Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), and therefore would not generate significant CEQA impacts.
