Type, Section or Code
Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption)
Reasons for Exemption
The removal of 81 Pepper Drive from the Los Altos HRI is exempt from environmental review under Section 15061(b)(3), which applies when it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant impact on the environment. The property does not meet the minimum eligibility criteria for listing on the Los Altos HRI. Furthermore, the property has never been listed on a state or national historic register. For these reasons, the property does not qualify as a historic resource as defined by California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5(a). Because the property does not meet the criteria to be eligible for listing on any local, state or national historic register, it can be seen with certainty that the act of removing the property from the City of Los Altos HRI will have no significant impact on the environment.
