Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines, titled “Existing Facilities,” reads as follows:??
“Class 1 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. The types of “existing facilities” itemized below are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.”
The proposed project involves obtaining approval to operate a kennel within an existing commercial building, which constitutes the leasing of an existing private structure. There is no increase in the building square footage and no expansion of the existing land use. Therefore, the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
