Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section No. 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act guidelines since it can be seen with certainty that the acquisition of land will not have a significant effect on the environment. The sale of real property will have no effect on the environment since the action will only entail the change in the property's ownership and the transfer of the deed.
