Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Common Sense Rule [Section 15061 (b) (3)]
Reasons for Exemption
The California Environmental Quality Act (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 the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The proposed Project is a project under CEQA.
Staff has reviewed the Project to determine the required level of review under CEQA. The proposed Project is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Rule). Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines states that an activity is covered by the common sense rule that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review. Granting this PCN will expand the services at the existing convenience store but will not bring about any physical change to the environment and will not have any potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
