Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The project will not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). The project consists of the interior conversion of an existing classroom to a child care facility with no expansion of building footprint, height, or overall site development. Therefore, the project involves only minor alterations to an existing structure to conform with current building code and qualifies for the Class 1 categorical exemption.
