Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15303 and 15305
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review in accordance with Sections 15303 and 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and Placer County Code Sections 18.36.050 (Class 3 – New construction or conversion of small structures) and 18.36.070 (Class 5 – Minor alterations in land use limitations) because the proposed construction of a detached garage with roof mount solar is an exempt project under Class 3 and adjusting a setback is an exempt action under Class 5 that would not result in the creation of any new parcel. The Zoning Administrator will be required to make a finding to this effect.
