Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061 (b)(3), Commonsense Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 (b )(3), referred to as the commonsense rule, that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Therefore, the reduction of parking from 20 to 18 spaces, typically required of an 8-unit apartment complex in the DRN zone, will not have a significant impact on the environment.
