Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15303
Reasons for Exemption
exempts projects that consist of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. The size of the expanded building meets the example of an exempt structure in Section 15303(c) which includes a “store, motel, office, restaurant or similar structure not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances and not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area.” Utilities construction as part of the proposed project is also categorically exempt under Section 15303(d), which exempts construction of “water main, sewage, electrical gas, and other utility extensions” that would serve the project.
