Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301- Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA’s Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, and minor alterations of existing facilities, with negligible or no expansion of use (CEQA Guidelines §15301). The tenant space is existing within a larger commercial development. Restaurants with the service of alcohol sales is conditionally permitted in CC-1 (Civic Center East) zoning district. The addition of the ABC license would not involve the intensification or expansion of said use. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA.
