Type, Section or Code
Title 14 CCR §15301, class 1 and §15303, class 3
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves (1) the demolition of an existing water tower staircase and replacement with a new unenclosed staircase, (2) rerouting an existing wooden path from underneath the water tower to the eastern side of the proposed staircase, (3) installing a new drainpipe under the existing sidewalk, and (4) installing new wooden park benches between the base of the staircase and the eastern wall of the existing commercial structure. Section 15301(l)(4) exempts the demolition of accessory (appurtenant) structures. The water tower staircase structure is appurtenant to the attached commercial structure which houses the restaurant to which the water tower staircase provides access. Section 15303(e) exempts the construction of new accessory (appurtenant) structures, which would include the newly proposed staircase, wooden path, drainpipe, and wooden park benches. These structures are all appurtenant to the attached commercial structure. The project involves no expansion or change of the existing use.
