Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15308
Reasons for Exemption
The Project has been evaluated in compliance with the criteria set forth in CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. The Project was found to be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 for Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment (Class 8 Categorical Exemption). The Class 8 Categorical Exemption is applicable to the Project because it would result in the maintenance, restoration, and enhancement of air quality, as well as the protection of the environment, in compliance with AB 98 and SB 415, and the mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO. The Project also qualifies for a common sense exemption under CEQA as it could not result in a significant effect on the environment as it does not propose any specific development and applies more stringent building and design standards that legally required by AB 98, SB 415, and the air quality mitigation measures negotiated with the AGO.
