Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 / Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project. (a) Location: This project is not located within a hillside area or within the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, (b) Cumulative Impact: Per ZIMAS, the LADBS Haul Route Status Table, and Navigate LA, there is one concurrent project within 500 feet of the project, case no. DIR-2025-2089-TOC-SPPC-VHCA, which is for the construction of a new, 67-unit residential apartment building. The project will not result in a cumulative effect, since the project is for the change of use from an adult day care center to community center within an existing 7,869 square-foot commercial building. No new floor area will be added and proposed construction includes minor interior alterations and ADA. The proposed Project will not result in significant cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place. (c) Significant Effect: The project will not have a significant effect from any proposed activity on the environment due to unusual circumstances. Most adjacent lots are developed with single- and multi-family dwellings and commercial uses, and the subject site is of similar size and slope to nearby properties. The project site is located within a typical urbanized area of the Westlake Community Plan, and the project would be consistent with the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of the LAMC. The project is not unusual for the vicinity of the site and is similar in scope to other existing commercial uses in the area. Furthermore, there is not a reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project site is also not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. (d) Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity of a state scenic highway and will not damage scenic resources in a state scenic highway. (e) Hazardous Waste Sites: The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 related to hazardous waste sites. (f) Historical Resources: Per ZIMAS, SurveyLA, and/or Historic Places LA, the project site is not identified or eligible as a historical resource. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
