Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Article 19: Section 21084; Class 15301 and Class 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project is eligible for categorical exemptions under Section 15301 (Class 1), which applies to projects consisting of repair and maintenance of existing structures, Section 15302 (Class 2), which applies to projects consisting of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose as the structure being replaced. There is negligible or no expansion of use beyond what currently exists and there are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances or other factors that would make the exemption inapplicable. Therefore, the project is exempt under Section 15301 (c), repair and maintenance to existing facilites and Section 15302 (c) replacement or reconstruction of an existing public facility.
