Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 / Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves the request for the sale and dispensing of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, in conjunction with an
existing 2,740 sf. restaurant. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed
project. (a) Location: The project site is not located in a hillside area, the subject site does not contain an officially mapped environmental resource of
hazardous or critical concern. (b) Cumulative Impact: Per ZIMAS, the LADBS Haul Route Status Table, and Navigate LA, there are no concurrent approved
or pending projects or haul routes within the same place of the project site. The proposed Project will not result in significant cumulative impacts from
successive projects of the same type in the same place. (c) Significant Effect: The project will not have a significant effect on the environment due to
unusual circumstances. Most adjacent properties are developed with a mix of commercial and residential uses, and the subject site is of similar size and
slope to nearby properties. The project site is located in a typical urbanized area of the Wilshire Community Plan, and the project would be consistent with
the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of the LAMC, with the approval of a Plan Approval. The project is not unusual for the vicinity
of the site and is similar in scope to other existing commercial uses in the area. Furthermore, there is not a reasonable possibility that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project site is not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. (d)
Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity of a state scenic highway and will not damage scenic resources in a state scenic highway. (e) Hazardous
Waste Sites: The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 related to hazardous waste sites. (f) Historical
Resources: Per ZIMAS, SurveyLA, and/or Historic Places LA, the subject tenant space is located within the Chapman Park Market Building, a designated
historical resource. The project is not proposing any expansion or construction and will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
historical resource. 181 None of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 to the categorical exemption(s) apply to the Project;
no unusual circumstance is found.
