Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15304
Reasons for Exemption
A series of operating standards ensure that these temporary uses of land will not result in a significant effect on the environment. Location requirements have been drafted to ensure compatibility with surrounding commercial uses. Additionally, a MFF cannot operate on a site listed on the Cortese List (Government Code § 65962.5). A noise and air quality technical memorandum was prepared to ensure that the operating standards in the ordinance follow the Noise Ordinance and air quality thresholds. Additional provisions related to lighting, trash collection, and prohibition of amplified music reduce the potential for MFFs to result in impacts on surrounding uses. Therefore, per Section 15304 and 15311 of the State CEQA Guidelines, it can be seen with certainty that the subject ordinance to regulate uses that are minor temporary uses of land would not have the potential for having a significant effect upon the environment.
