Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 / Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves the approval of alcohol sales within an existing development. None of the exceptions to the
Categorical Exemption Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project. (a) Location: The subject site does not
contain an officially mapped environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. (b) Cumulative Impact: Per ZIMAS, the LADBS
Haul Route Status Table, and Navigate LA, there are no concurrent approved or pending projects or haul routes within the same place
of the project site. 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 on the environment due to unusual circumstances. All
adjacent lots are developed with single-family dwellings and commercial buildings, and the subject site is of similar size and slope to
nearby properties. The project site is located in a typical urbanized area of the Reseda – West Van Nuys Community Plan, and the project
would be consistent with the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of the LAMC, with the approval of the proposed
Conditional Use Permit. 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. (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.
