Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 153101(e), Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
This Project was reviewed pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined to be categorically exempt under Section 1530I (e), Class 1: "Existing Facilities" of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The proposed project involves consolidating three parcels to eliminate two property lines to allow the continued operation of an existing automobile service/repair business on a 1.62-acre site. The project does not include major remodeling or structural rehabilitation. Although the project will involve the conversion of an existing storage room into an additional vehicle service bay, this will be a negligible expansion of use as it will be limited to interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances. The project is not subject to any of the exceptions for exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. The cumulative impact of this project, and the approval of other projects like it in the vicinity, is not expected to have any significant environmental impact. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of any historical resource because the property where it is located is not listed on any National, California, or Local Registers. Furthermore, the existing buildings have been modified several times over the years, resulting in the lack of historic integrity. Staff does not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval and construction of the project. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
