Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303 Class 3 New Construction, 15304 Class 4 Minor Alterations
Reasons for Exemption
Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §15303 provides that projects which consist of construction and location
of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and
facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to
another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure, are
categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA. A detached permanent restroom facility is
the only new permanent structure proposed, and the project will not include any other substantial
physical changes to the property. Therefore, the project falls within §15303.
• Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §15304 provides that projects which consist of minor public or private
alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of
healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry and agricultural purposes are categorically
exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The proposed events do not require any permanent
changes to the property or construction of any new facilities and represent a minor temporary
use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment. The project site currently
does not support riparian habitat, federally protected wetlands, or migratory corridors. Additionally,
special status plants, animals, or natural communities are not expected to be found within close
proximity to the property. Therefore, the project falls within §15304.
• There are no unusual circumstances that would lead to significant impacts, including cumulative
impacts, and the Project is not subject to any exceptions to the categorical exemptions as set
forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15300.2. This project site is not of a different size, or in a unique
location or environmental context, rendering it unusual from other projects that qualify for the
above-stated categorical exemptions. The special events use is allowed on the site with a minor
use permit consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code. The fire risk in the area, while
high, is not increased due to the existence of the project. The project would not impact
implementation of or interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan, the
local roadway system is not significantly impacted by the project, and there is no new
infrastructure associated with the project that could exacerbate fire risk or other impacts on the
environment. The project site is substantially developed, proposes only up to 12 temporary
special events per year, and will be required to obtain approval of a site evacuation plan prior
to the first event to ensure there are no significant risks or exacerbation of risks by bringing
people into the area.
