Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
The City of San Diego determined the project would not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The project meets the criteria set forth in CEQA Section 15303, which consists of the construction and location of limited numbers of new small facilities or structures. CEQA Section 15303 allows for the construction of up to three single-family residences in urbanized areas, utility extensions of reasonable lengths to serve such construction, and accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages and carports. The project proposes the construction of a new attached two-car garage and a two-story ADU, and associated improvements. As such, these exemptions were deemed appropriate.
The exceptions outlined in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 were reviewed and determined that none apply. The project is not located in an environmentally sensitive area as defined by CEQA section 15300.2(a). The project is expected to have no significant cumulative impact, as identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2(b). No significant effect due to unusual circumstances would result from the project as identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2(c). Considering the nature of the project and its location, no scenic highway impact would occur as identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2(d). The site is not located on a list compiled pursuant to section 65962.5 of the Government Code as identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2(e). No historic resources exist on the site, and the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2(f). Therefore, none of the exceptions apply. The site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 for hazardous waste sites.
