Type, Section or Code
Common Sense Exemption: CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
This action is consistent with Section 15061 (b)(3), The Common Sense Rule, whereas the allowance to update the site plan 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. This is because the Minor Modification is merely to allow the addition of a shade structure to the existing established Telecommunications Facility to the existing Special Use Permit, in the AE-40 (Exclusive Agriculture – 40 Acre Minimum) Zone, within the Rural Valley Lands Plan, with the Land Use Designation of Valley Agriculture, which were approved by Special Use Permit No. PSP 16-001 (PC). The use has already been through a CEQA review by way of an approved Categorical Exemption, that was approved by the Tulare County Planning Commission on May 11, 2016, Resolution No. 9190. Therefore, the application of CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) is applicable and appropriate for this project.
