Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15301 and 15305
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review in accordance with Sections 15301 and 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and Sections 18.36.030 (Class 1 - Existing facilities) and Section 18.36.070 (Class 5 – Minor alterations in land use limitations) of the Placer County Code because modifications to an existing restaurant is an exempt project under Class 1 and approval of a design site review agreement is an exempt action under Class 5 because the project is only for a design review where no other approvals require environmental review and the project does not fit the definition of a major project. The Zoning Administrator will be required to make a finding to this effect.
