Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15311, Class 11, Minor Structures Accessory to Existing Commercial Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
The project meets the criteria for consideration because: (1) the project consists of the installation of two minor structures, totaling approximately 320 sq. ft., which will operate as an accessory to an existing commercial center; (2) the two shipping containers would be located behind the existing Creekside Shopping Center on an already developed commercial site; (3) the project involves minimal physical modifications to the site, and the containers would be painted a neutral tan color to complement the existing shopping center; (4) California Redemption Value (CRV) program materials collected at the recycling center would be removed from the project site daily, minimizing the potential for accumulation of materials, odors, or other environmental effects; (5) the project would utilize existing access, parking, utilities, and infrastructure serving the developed commercial site; and (6) the limited size and scope of the project would not result in substantial changes to the existing commercial development or significant environmental effects.
