Reasons for Exemption
South Campus Buildings H and I were previously approved in January 2021 and analyzed under the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Meridian South Campus Specific Plan and Village West Drive Extension Project (SCH #2020059028). Approval of Design Plan 22-06 for South Campus Buildings H and I is a ministerial approval because it involved little or no personal judgment as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out construction of South Campus Buildings H and I and instead applied fixed standards and objective measurements. Approval of the Design Plan is this a ministerial activity and not a project within the meaning of CEQA. (Public Res. Code § 21080(b)(1); State CEQA Guidelines § 15369.)
Further, the approval of the Design Plan is exempt from environmental review because it is a ministerial activity. (State CEQA Guidelines § 15268(a).) The Design Plan 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 he adopted Mitigation Measures for the Meridian South Campus Specific Plan and Village West Drive Extension SEIR (SCH 20200059028). All services and access to the project site is made available through the Specific Plan (SP-1, A8).
The determination that the Design Plan 22-06 was 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.
