Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations; Title 14; Section 15282(h)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is statutorily exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h), which includes the adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone by a city to implement provisions of Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2 of the Government Code, as set forth in 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code. Under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, which is California's ADU and JADU law. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements State ADU and JADU law.
