Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1; Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to Article 19 of the CEQA Guidelines, the Project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities). None of the exceptions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the Project, as described below. Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities) consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Exceptions: CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 set forth exceptions to categorical exemptions which must be assessed as part of the determination to use a Categorical Exception. If any of the exceptions apply, a Categorical Exemption cannot be used. (a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located - a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply all instances, except where the project may 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. This exception does not apply to Class 1 exemptions; therefore, this exception would not apply to the Project. (b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation and zone district with approval of a CUP; therefore, the use and operation would be compatible with the area and would not result in cumulative impacts with the operation of the use. Thus, this exception would not apply to the Project. (c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. There are no unusual circumstances associated with the proposed Project. The use is allowed under the Clovis Development Code, thus, the use is not unusual within the established C-2 Zone District. Therefore, this exception would not apply to the Project. (d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may 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 state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified EIR. The Project site is not located near a scenic highway as it is located within an urban area. Therefore, this exception would not apply to the Project. (e) Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a 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, this exception would not apply to the project. (f) Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. There are no historical resources on the Project site or within its immediate vicinity. Therefore, this exception would not apply to the Project.
