Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15303, Class 3 - New Construction of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15303 Class 3, New Construction of Small Structures, which exempts construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities, or structures where in urban areas, up to four such commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive within the provisions of CEQA. The project consists of the construction of a new 4,260 square foot building for auto repair facilities ancillary to an existing motor vehicle dealership. The improvements to the site would be within the developed area of a commercial use property and would be consistent with the existing land use. The building is not located on any environmentally sensitive land, has all necessary utility connections in place, and is less than 10,000 square feet in floor area of new construction where it will not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances.
The project is not subject to any of the exceptions to the exemptions under Section 15300.2 of the California Environmental Quality Act. The cumulative impact of constructing an accessory auto repair facility on an existing motor vehicle dealership property is not considered significant. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The surface parking lot where the auto repair facility will be located is not considered as a significant historical structure by any governmental body. Staff do not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval of this project.
Therefore, the proposed project is eligible for categorical exemption from CEQA.
