Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Classes 7 and 8 (§§ 15307, 15308)
Reasons for Exemption
Section 3 finds that the ordinance regulates existing lodging and approves no site-specific use or development (PRC § 21065 and CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2)-(3), 15378). Independently, the standards maintain or reduce activity compared with existing rules (§ 15061 (b)(3)). Festival occupancy is limited by Fire Chief occupant loads and police safety review. The ordinance protects natural resources and the environment without construction or relaxation of standards (§§ 15307, 15308). No § 15300.2 exception applies.
