Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15304(e)
Reasons for Exemption
Approval of the Great San Juan Bautista Rib Cook-Off Special Event Permit is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15304(e), Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land, because the approved activity consists of a temporary three-day event with temporary event-related operations, associated street closures, and required post-event cleanup and restoration. No permanent improvements are authorized, and no healthy, mature, or scenic trees will be removed. The project therefore constitutes a temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment.
