Document Description
The University of California, Davis Medical Center proposes to expand existing Parking Lot 17 located north of 2nd Avenue and east of 45th Street in the central portion of the campus. The parking lot currently contains 502 parking spaces and is exclusively for campus employee use. The central portion of this parking lot is paved, fenced and striped to serve as an alternate helipad. The campus has determined that this helipad is no longer required and that the helipad needs of the hospital are adequately served by the helipad on the Davis Tower. The campus proposes to add 138 parking spaces to Lot 17 by removing the perimeter fencing around the helipad, removing the relocatable helipad workshop, removing the underground fuel tank, and striping the surface with parking stalls. The proposed project would be constructed in fall 2004.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15311, 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is subject to the general exemption provided by CEQA Guidelines because as determined in the analysis, it can be seen with certainty that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment. The project is categorically exempt because it involves a minor expansion of an existing surface parking facility designed to serve the campus' insitutional buildings.
None of the exceptions to categorical exemptions apply to the proposed project. The project would not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. Analysis indicates that there is no unusual circumstances associated with the project such that it could result in a significant effect upon the environment. The project site is not in the viewshed of a scenic highway, nor would if affect any scenic resources. It is not located on a hazardous waste site, nor would it cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of any historical resource. Expansion of the existing parking lot would not result in an increase in campus population because the project addresses an existing parking shortfall. Because the campus population would not increase as a result of the project, the project will not result in additional traffic. It would therefore not result in cumulatively significant impacts or make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative impact.
