Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA guidelines Section 15303, Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
Project is Categorically Exempt, consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, pursuant to Title 14, Cal. Code Regulations Section 15303, Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. The use of 15303 is applicable and appropriate as all changes would be accessory to an already existing use on the approved site. There will be no changes to the number of events or number of anticipated guests. Therefore, no levels of previously analyzed Environmental Impacts would change from the approved ND as made part of PSP 07-088 under Resolution No. 8432 (Subsection B.12). The lead agency concludes that the proposed Project fits under the exemption as it is consistent with the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. Therefore, the use of Section 150303 is applicable and appropriate for the proposed project.
