Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1: Existing Facilities, which exempts negligible expansions of use in existing facilities from the provisions of CEQA. The building in which the project is proposed is existing. The project will not include any alterations to the existing building footprint nor the exterior facade as previously approved. The retail building remains a commercial property and the project is for the inclusion of ancillary sales of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings within the existing building. Therefore, the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and instructional tastings are seen as a negligible expansion of use.
The project is not subject to any exceptions to the exemptions under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA. The cumulative impact of the incidental sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and on-site instructional tastings in a retail store is not considered significant. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The building where the sale of alcohol is taking place is not considered 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.
