Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 / Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves the request for the sale and dispensing of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, in
conjunction with a 1,902 square feet restaurant. 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 or the Santa Monica Mountains
Zone. (b) Cumulative Impact: Per ZIMAS, the LADBS Haul Route Status Table, and Navigate LA, there are no concurrent approved or
pending projects or haul routes within the same place of the project site. 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 commercial and residential 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 Westchester
Playa del Rey Community Plan, and the project would be consistent with the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of
the LAMC, with the approval of the Main Plan Approval entitlement. 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. (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.
