Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15314
Reasons for Exemption
Solvang Elementary School (Lower Campus) has 367 students and an average classroom size of 25 students per class, not to exceed 30 students per class. With the addition of 2 new classrooms, the Lower Campus could add a maximum of 60 additional students, which would account for an increase of 16% of students. CEQA would allow for up to 91 additional students (25%) on the campus and still be within the exemption requirements. Therefore, the categorical exemption is found to be appropriate for this project.
