Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Title 14 Sec. 15301 (c)
Reasons for Exemption
The existing intersection is currently stop-controlled southbound on Rotary Way. As the campus enrollment increases, traffice safety measures are warranted. The entire area of disturbance related to project construction and operation will be within existing right-of-ways of both Rotary Way and State Highway 62. Focused surveys for Desert tortoise and Western burrowing owl, and a general bioloigcal resources assessment were conducted in August 2009 and concluded that no impacts to desert tortoise or any other species of concern would occur with implementation of the project. The project is consistent with all regional and local plans. It will improve traffic flows, require no public infrastructure capacity increases, or result in an increase in ambient noise levels. Therefore, no significant environmental effects will result from implementation of the project.
