Notice of Exemption

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 2, CCR 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction and Class 14 CCR 15314, Minor Additions to Schools
Reasons for Exemption
The project would not expand existing student capacity. The new theater replaces the existing theater, which will be used for general classroom use. Therefore, the project is exempt from CEQA under two categorical exemptions, including: Class 2, CCR §15302, Replacement or Reconstruction and Class 14, CCR §15314, Minor Additions to Schools. The project was reviewed for possible exceptions under Section 15300.2 and found that the exceptions do not apply. See CEQA Evaluation, Estancia High School Theater Project, Supplemental Information for further explanation of the evaluation, which is available for review at the Facilities Department, 2985 Bear Street, Building E, Costa Mesa, CA
