Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15303 and 15305
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from
environmental review in accordance with Sections 15303 and 15305 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and Placer County Code Sections 18.36.050 (Class 3 – New
construction or conversion of small structures) and 18.36.070 (Class 5 – Minor alterations in land use
limitations) because the proposed construction of a 432-square-foot detached solar carport located
approximately 20 feet from the western property line where a 50-foot setback is typically required is
an exempt project under Class 3 and adjusting a setback is an exempt action under Class 5 that
would not result in the creation of any new parcel. The Zoning Administrator will be required to make
a finding to this effect.
