Reasons for Exemption
The Marina Coast Water District Board of Directors has determined based on the whole of the administrative record that the Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code§§ 21000 et seq. [CEQA)} pursuant to the Class 1, Class 4, and Common Sense Exemptions of the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §§ 1500 et seq.) because the farm lease will not significantly change or expand the existing agricultural use; consists of minor alterations in land, water, and/or vegetation and does not involve the removal of any trees; and that there are no exceptions to the exemptions or unusual circumstances that distinguish the Project from other projects covered under the categorical exemptions.
