Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 20, Section 15320 per Public Resources Code Section 21084 and 14 CCR 15320(b)
Reasons for Exemption
This action is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301b of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 20) as the formation would not result in any change in services since these districts already serve the affected territory and 15061 b (3) whereby this activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Since this formation is only affirming existing functions (fire and emergency medical services), there is no possibility that this activity may have a significant effect on the environment since the services are already provided and no unusual circumstances exist as a result of this reorganization.
