Examples of this exemption include, but are not limited to accessory structures Including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences. This project would construct a coastal protection device within a developed parcel containing an existing single-dwelling unit. The wall Includes a sculpted and stained finish, and the wall repair will conform to the contours of the existing bluff surfaces. City staff reviewed the project and confirmed that no sensitive biological resources as demonstrated by the Biological Resources Report. In addition, no scenic highways, hazardous materials sites, or historical resources are present. The exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 do not apply, as the project would not result in significant cumulative impacts or unusual circumstances.
