Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061(3), Common Sense Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed action is exempt under the provisions of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines because the transfer of ownership of interest in land does not include any activity or change in the existing uses or condition of the property that has the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 1506l(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines). The CSU has not yet made any decision to use the property for any project or change its current use or condition in any way. If and when CSU decides to use the property for any specific project, additional CEQA analysis will be undertaken.
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Section 15378(b)(4)
Reasons for Exemption
The action to enter into purchase and sale agreements, make payments for the property purchases, and take other actions associated with CSU’s costs for the acquisition and assessment of real property is not subject to CEQA because it involves government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment (Section 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines). The CSU has not yet made any decision to use the property for any project or change its current use or condition in any way. If and when CSU decides to use the property for any specific project, additional CEQA analysis will be undertaken.
