Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
PRC Section 21084; CEQA Guidelines Sections 15300-15333 • CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion
Reasons for Exemption
Class 3 consists of the construction of new, small facilities or structures, within the maximum allowable on any legal parcel. The property is zoned for low density single-family residential uses; permitted uses in this zoning district is limited to one single-family dwelling and one ADU. The ADU will be constructed in a location that was previously developed and there are no environmental resources present on the site. The project is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
Section 15300.2-Exceptions
Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, Exceptions, provides conditions under which categorical exemptions are inapplicable. Review of the Project indicates that it will not violate any of the exceptions, as described in the following section.
1. For Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11, will the project have an impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies?
The project site is within a developed single-family residential neighborhood that is not located within an area of mapped critical habitat or sensitive vegetation community and is not within any area designated as an environmental hazard or concern.
2. Will cumulative impacts be considerable because successive projects of the same type will occur at the same place over time?
As it stands, the project will not result in potentially significant impacts. The project would result in the construction of one new ADU in an urbanized area on a developed parcel. Therefore, no cumulative impacts will result from the project and successive projects of the same type and at the same place over time.
3. Is there a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances?
There are no known unusual circumstances that will have a significant effect on the environment.
4. Will the project result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources within a highway officially designated as a scenic highway?
River Road/ Highway 160 (from the Sacramento City Limits at the northern edge of Freeport to the southern tip of the Delta at Antioch Bridge) is a designated State Scenic Highway. The Project is not located within the vicinity of this scenic highway. Therefore, the project will not result in damage to scenic resources or similar resources within a highway that is officially designated as a scenic highway.
5. Is the project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code?
The project site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Therefore, implementation of the project will not have an impact related to being located on a hazardous waste site.
6. Will the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource?
The project site does not contain any historical resources.
