Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA’s Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, and minor alterations of existing public or private structures and facilities, with negligible or no expansion of use (CEQA Guidelines §15301). The subject request would allow the operation of a general tattoo business currently licensed as a facial tattoo business within an existing private structure (an approximately 760-square-foot commercial tenant space). No additional square footage would be added to the existing structure, and the change in use is negligible. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA.
