Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Exempt under section 15301(e) Existing Facilities and 15303(c) New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
Reasons for Exemption
Permit Sonoma has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(e), Existing Facilities, and Section 15303(c), New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. The project involves continued operation of an existing fire station facility and includes an approximately 3,630 square foot expansion of the fire station building including upgraded living and eating quarters, dedicated storage, and new apparatus bays. The project won’t substantially change current operations but will make them more efficient and will greatly improve emergency response times. There are no facts or circumstances specific to this project that would support an exception to the categorical exemption under Section 15300.2.
