Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 3, Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
The entire Project is exempt under Section 15303 because it involves an approximately 4,000 square-foot expansion to an existing 7,200 square-foot facility on a developed two-acre site, and operation of a church, with related onsite improvements. Furthermore, none of the exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. There is no possibility of a significant cumulative impact as staff does not anticipate that other projects of the same type will take place at the project site or the surrounding area. The site does not present any unusual circumstances such as unusual resources, an unusual location, or unusual physical qualities inherent to the project site
t hat might result in significant impacts. The project area is developed and does not contain any environmentally sensitive areas. The project would not damage any scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar
resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. The project is not located on a hazardous waste site or any other site included on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5 and the proposed project
will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource because there are no historical resources near the proposed project such that project impacts would not have any substantial adverse changes in the significance of a historical resource.
