Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15303/Class 3
Reasons for Exemption
This project is exempt under Section 15303/Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Section 15303/Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel. Examples of this exemption include, but are not limited to:
e) Accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences.
This project requests authorization to construct a six (6) foot perimeter wrought iron fence, where the maximum height allowed is four (4) feet, in conjunction with parking lot modifications, a new solid waste enclosure, and landscaping. Therefore, it is staff’s determination that this falls within the limits of the Class 3 Categorical Exemption.
None of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to the project. Furthermore, the proposed project is not expected to have a significant effect on the environment. A categorical exemption, as noted above, has been prepared for the project and the area is not environmentally sensitive.
