Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301 (type ) and 15061 (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The property acquisition is exempt due to the continued use of an existing facility with negligible or no expansion of use. The future community- and civic-related uses will mimic the public benefit of the former school use with recreational, educational, and administrative uses proposed for all near-term uses. If future additional or more extensive uses are proposed, those activities will be separately evaluated.
