Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15302
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA’s Class 2 exemption applies to replacement or reconstruction of existing structures (CEQA Guidelines §15302.). A project can qualify for a Class 2 exemption if a commercial building is replaced with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity (CEQA Guidelines §15302.).
The project involves the demolition of a 1,932 square-foot break room to be replaced with a break room of 1,504 gross square feet. Therefore, the project replaces a commercial building with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity. Thus, it can be determined that the project can be exempted from further CEQA review under the Class 2 exemption.
