Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 3 Section 15303 (e)
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “Projects.” A “Project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The proposed Project is a project under CEQA.
The Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). Section 15303 applies to the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. Section 15303(e) includes appurtenant structures including garages and carports. The proposed Project consists of a Minor Design Review for the construction of an approximately 1,565 square-foot garage with an additional storage room. All public services and facilities are available, and the area is not considered environmentally sensitive. Staff reviewed the proposed Project and did not find any evidence that special circumstances exist that would create a reasonable possibility that the proposed Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, the proposed Project qualifies for exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303.
