The applicant and property owner is
requesting approval of a Variance to allow for an unpermitted, as-built, 600-square-foot, attached
garage to remain in place within the front setback, ten feet, three inches from the edge of road

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15303 and 15305
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental
review in accordance with Sections 15303 and 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines and Sections 18.36.050 (Class 3 – New construction or conversion of small structures)
and 18.36.070 (Class 5 – Minor alterations in land use limitations) of the Placer County Code because
the proposed construction of a 600-square-foot attached garage is an exempt project under Class 3
and adjusting a setback is an exempt action under Class 5 that would not result in the creation of any
new parcel. The Zoning Administrator will be required to make a finding to this effect.
