Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303(e)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt under CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303(e), regarding "New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures," which specifies that the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures such as accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences, are categorically exempt from CEQA review. The approved detached garage is accessory to an existing single-family residence. There is no substantial evidence that the project involves unusual circumstances, including future activities, resulting on, or which might reasonably result in, significant impacts which threaten the environment. None of the exemptions in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply.
