Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities [Section 15301]
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “projects.” A “project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The proposed Project is a project under CEQA.
The Project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, which reads as follows:
Class 1 exemptions consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The types of "existing facilities" itemized in the exemption are not intended to be all inclusive of the types of projects that might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
The Project consists of painting a mural on an existing building that is not a designated historic resource, nor has it been deemed to be eligible to be an historic resource on the City’s local register. The installation of the mural does not alter the physical structures of the building and will not increase the intensity or density of the existing use because the business will continue to operate in the same manner. The cumulative impact of this project is not expected to have any significant environmental impact because the materials used are not damaging to the building or the surrounding area. The project is not located along any state-designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change to any of the building or any nearby historical resources because the mural will not require any structural or architectural changes and will be placed on a building that has been painted since the original state. The mural will be temporary in nature and can be painted over to revert the building to the previous condition.
