Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1; California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301/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 key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.
The proposed project is consistent with the exemption because the project is requesting authorization to upgrade a license for alcoholic beverage sales, which is permitted in the existing CC (Commercial - Community) zone district by conditional use permit. The project is also consistent with the planned Commercial – Community land use designation applicable to the site. No adverse environmental impacts will occur as a result of the proposed project. The site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and complies with all conditions of the Class 1 Categorical Exemption. None of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to this project.
