Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. A project is exempt if it is a store, motel, office, restaurant, or similar structure not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 2,500 square-foot in floor area. The proposed project consists of the construction of a 2,257 square foot Habit Burger restaurant with a drive-through in the Fair Oaks Boulevard Central Special Planning Area (SPA) and Shopping Center (SC) zoning districts, would not involve the use of significant hazardous materials, and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
