Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project would be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301—Existing Facilities, as the proposed demolition of two single-family homes, one accessory shed, their supporting utilities, and the remnant foundations of former structures that inhabited the site would be consistent with Section 15301(l), which exempts demolition projects in urbanized areas involving three or fewer single-family residences and the demolition of accessory/appurtenant structures. A January 2024 Historic Resource Evaluation conducted by Architectural Resources Group found that none of the structures proposed for demolition retained historic integrity or were eligible for placement on the California Register of Historic Resources or the City of Fremont Register of Historic Resources. Therefore, they do not qualify as a historic resource under CEQA and their demolition would not have a significant impact on the environment.
