Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
Project involves structural modifications to the interior of the building with some minor electrical, mechanical and plumbing alterations. The additional structural connections between the roof and tilt-up walls will reduce the shock effect from an earthquake event and prevent total collapse of the building. The project qualifies as exempt because it does not expand the current use or size of the facility.
