Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 & Section 15311
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA’s Class 1 (Existing Facilities) exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, and minor alterations of existing public or private structures and facilities, with negligible or no expansion of use (CEQA Guidelines §15301). The proposed project qualifies for this exemption because it consists of facade improvements and equipment upgrades to an existing automatic carwash. Automatic carwashes are a conditionally permitted use, and the subject location has been in continuous operation since 1965 under Conditional Use Permit No. CUP-103-65. Additionally, CEQA’s Class 11 (Accessory Structures) exemption applies to the construction and replacement of accessory structures, including parking lots (CEQA Guidelines §15311). The proposed project qualifies for this exemption because it includes modifications to the site’s parking lot, and on-site vehicular circulation. The subject request does not involve expansion or intensification of the existing use of the property.
