Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The License Agreement is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), the “common sense exemption," which provides that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Here, SCV Water finds the License Agreement exempt from CEQA as "it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question” as it provides for the extension of an existing lease for continuation of an existing use in an existing structure, and so will have no “significant effect on the environment.”
