Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15304 and 15323
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed Special Use Permit for the Hueneme Beach Festival is deemed categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §15304 and §15323, as it involves the temporary use of public facilities for community events with no permanent alterations to the site or expansion of use. The event will occur on an already developed public beach and parking area, and all festival activities, including stages, vendor booths, and carnival rides, are temporary and removed following each annual event. For these reasons, the project qualifies for a categorical exemption and is, therefore, exempt from further CEQA review
