Type, Section or Code
§15301 – “Existing Facilities”
Reasons for Exemption
The project will be located in San Leandro, CA next to Cuberg’s existing facility and is located in an industrial general zoning district suitable for the manufacturing activities that Cuberg will perform. The project scope includes converting the existing warehouse shell into a suitable 2019 California Building Code Group F occupancy building to house Cuberg’s battery manufacturing line. The construction work to be completed includes building demising walls and interior separations, electrical upgrades, adding core restrooms, adding HVAC systems, and structural/seismic upgrades. Once operations commence, the manufacturing work to be completed includes electrode coating, cell assembly, electrolyte filling, formation, conditioning, packaging and shipping. Therefore, the project falls within section 15301 and will not have a significant effect on the environment.
