Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4, California Code of Regulations, title 14 Section 15304
Reasons for Exemption
The text amendment to Chapter 9.32 proposes fire regulations relating to the operations of short-term rentals. The regulation of fire apparatuses does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and actually may reduce the potential for wildfires occurring. Additionally, fuel management is specifically stated as an activity exempt under 15304, which is directly related to the defensible space restriction outlined in the proposed text amendment.
