Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section Class 1 - 15301 (Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed use qualifies for this exemption, as it will utilize a commercially developed site, within the existing parking lot. By utilizing the existing facilities as-is, the project avoids any significant environmental impacts and aligns with the criteria outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. Additionally, project and/or existing developed site requires no negligible and/or expansion of the developed site.
