Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The Project consists of the repair, maintenance and minor alteration of existing private structures, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Examples of Class 1 exemptions include interior and exterior alterations and maintenance of existing landscaping. Here, the Project involves the repair of an existing two-story commercial shell building located on a .11-acre parcel at 1694 6th Street (APN #778-100-001) at the southwest corner of 6th Street and Grapefruit Boulevard. The Project also includes the restoration of surrounding landscaping. Therefore, the Project falls within the Class 1 exemption. Furthermore, none of the exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. There is no possibility of a significant cumulative impact as staff does not anticipate that other projects of the same type will take place at the project site or the surrounding area. The project does not present any unusual circumstances such as unusual resources, an unusual location, or unusual physical qualities inherent to the project site that might result in significant impacts. The project area is developed and does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas. The project would not damage any scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. The project is not located on a hazardous waste site or any other site included on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5 and the proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource because there are no historical resources near the proposed project such that project impacts would not have any substantial adverse changes in the significance of a historical resource.
