Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
• CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
Reasons Why Project is Exempt:
Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures;
installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small
structures from one use to another where only minor modification are made in the exterior of the structure.
In urbanized areas, this exemption applies to up to four such commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000
square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of
hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding
area is not environmentally sensitive.
The project consists of the construction of a 3,588 square foot Quick Quack car wash with 18 vacuum stalls
in a commercial zone within an urbanized area. The proposed use will not involve the use of significant
amounts of hazardous materials, all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the
surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, the project is exempt from the provisions of
CEQA.
Section 15300.2-Exceptions
Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, Exceptions, provides conditions under which categorical
exemptions are inapplicable. Review of the Project indicates that it will not violate any of the exceptions, as
described in the following section.
1. For Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11, will the project have an impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies?
The project site is fully developed within an urbanized community and has not been designated as a biologically sensitive location. Therefore, construction of the project will not result in impacts on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern
2. Will cumulative impacts be considerable because successive projects of the same type will occur at the same place over time?
As it stands, the project will not result in potentially significant impacts. The project area is already developed, the proposed project will construct on an infill parcel, there are no additional similar projects within vicinity of the site, and the construction and operation of the project will not exacerbate any existing conditions in the immediate neighborhood of the site. Therefore, no cumulative impacts will result from
the project and successive projects of the same type and at the same place over time.
3. Is there a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances? A Noise Impact Study was prepared by MD Acoustics, LLC. dated October 8, 2024, to evaluate existing
and post-project ambient noise conditions at the project site and surrounding area. The noise study concluded the project’s operational impact would not exceed the County’s exterior or interior noise limit standards.
4. Will the project result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources within a highway officially designated as a scenic highway? River Road/ Highway 160 (from the Sacramento City Limits at the northern edge of Freeport to the
southern tip of the Delta at Antioch Bridge) is a designated State Scenic Highway. The Project is not located within the vicinity of this scenic highway. Therefore, the project will not result in damage to scenic resources or similar resources within a highway that is officially designated as a scenic highway.
5. Is the project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code?
The project site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Therefore, implementation of the project will not have an impact related to being located on a hazardous waste site.
6. Will the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource?
The project site does not contain any historical resources
