Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1 (Section Number 15301)
Reasons for Exemption
The City of Murrieta conducted an environmental review, which determined that the proposed project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because the proposed business is located within an existing shopping center, involving no new building expansion and only interior tenant improvements within a 2,417 square-foot leased area. The space was previously occupied by a retail/service use. The proposed retail use is consistent with the Neighborhood Commercial zone and general plan, no hazardous substances are present at the location, and the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. No significant effects are expected to occur in relation to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The site is currently served by all required utilities and public services.
