Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15268
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed permit process is defined and authorized by Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Division 7, Chapter 5, Article 3.0 – Regulatory Tier Requirements. As specified in Section 18104.7(d), the LEA is compelled to follow the procedures set forth in Sections 18104.2 and 18104.3 to review and accept an application and issue a registration permit. Accordingly, because LEA is required to issue the permit contingent on the applicant’s conformity to applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations, or other fixed standards, the project approval is a ministerial action and is statutorily exempt per Section 15268 of the CEQA Guidelines.
