Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 / Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of exiting public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical.
The project is exempt because it involves a change of use from a single-family dwelling to duplex. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project. (a) Location: The project is not located within a hillside area and within the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, the subject site does not contain an officially mapped environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. (b) Cumulative Impact: The project is not proposing any grading and, therefore, no haul route is needed. 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 lots are developed with single-family and multifamily structures, 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 and the Vermont/Western SNAP. The project is not unusual for the vicinity of the site and is similar in scope to other existing residential 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 and will comply with the specific requirements for landscaping and brush clearance. (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 project site is not identified or eligible as a historical resource. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
