Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1-§15301, Class 3-§15303, Class 11-§15311; Class 14-§15314
Reasons for Exemption
The Proposed Project is determined to be Categorically Exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing
Facilities), 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), Sections 153011 (Accessory Structures) and/or

negligible expansion of use beyond that already existing, include only a limited number of small new outdoor structures,
facilities, and appurtenant parking areas, and would not increase student capacity
