Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines 15303(e) Class 3 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
Project is categorically exempt, consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, pursuant to Title 14, Cal. Code Regulations Section 15303(e) New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. The use of 15303(e) is applicable and appropriate as the proposed project will not alter the approved use of the site and is for accessory structures. The additional freestall barn structures would add greater comfort for the animals. Therefore, the lead agency concludes that the proposed Project fits under the exemption as it is consistent with the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance and General Plan.
