Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Ministerial
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 21080(b)(1); 15268(a)
Reasons for Exemption
The Meridian South Buildings 1-3 were previously approved in January 2021 and analyzed in the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Meridian South Campus Specific Plan and Village West Drive Extension Project (SCH #2020059028.) Approval of Design Plans 22-02, 22-03 and 22-04 is a ministerial approval because it involved little or no personal judgment as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out construction of the Meridian South Industrial Buildings 1-3 and instead applied fixed standards and objective measurements. Approval of the Design Plans is a thus a ministerial activity and not a project within the meaning of CEQA. (Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(1); State CEQA Guidelines § 15369.)
Further, approval of the Design Plans is exempt from environmental review because it is a ministerial activity. (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15268 (a).) The Design Plans underwent a ministerial review process and was found consistent with the development standards under the March Business Center Specific Plan (SP-1, Amendment No. 8), the March Business Center Design Guidelines, and the adopted Mitigation Measures for the Meridian South Campus Specific Plan and Village West Drive Extension SEIR (SCH 2020059028). All services and access each of the project sites is made available through the Specific Plan (SP-1, A8). The determination that the Design Plans are consistent involved no discretionary judgement by the March Business Center Implementation Committee and involved only the use of fixed and objective standards rather than subjective decision making.
