Article 3 — Exemptions

The following criteria shall be used in determining whether a project is exempt from the requirement for preparation of environmental documents:

• (a) The project is categorically exempt because it falls within the list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment per Article 19 of the CEQA Guidelines.

• (b) The project is statutorily exempt because it falls within the list of classes of project which have been determined to be exempt by statute per Article 18 of the CEQA Guidelines.

• (c) The project is exempt by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

• (d) Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines which contains exceptions to several classes of categorical exemptions.

• (§ 1, Ord. 2684 c.s., eff. April 17, 1993, as amended by § 5, Ord. 3125 c.s., eff. January 16, 2015)
