Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); Class 2, Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction)
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves upgrading an existing access road. The project involves no increase in capacity and is located in an area that has been previously disturbed. There are no unusual circumstances leading to a reasonable possibility that significant environmental impacts will result from the project. A botanical survey was prepared for the easement area and adjacent area dated March 29, 2024, which concluded that no state or federally engaged species or plants were present within the survey area. Therefore, the City finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 and Section 15302 and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.
