Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction
Reasons for Exemption
The City of San Diego determined that the project would qualify to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction). This exemption applies to projects involving the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Since the project proposes the replacement of an existing single-family residence and associated site improvements with a new single-family residence and associated site improvements, this use of this exemption was 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.
