Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sec. G 15301 Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301 of CEQA Guidelines exempts from CEQA review actions consisting of the “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the lead agency’s determination.” The key consideration in applying this exemption is whether the proposed action involves expansion of an existing use. The proposed action involves removal of four trees for the purpose of maintaining existing utility facilities as designed. There are no proposed changes in use from what currently exists. The proposed action relates to the maintenance and minor alteration of existing structures, involving no or negligible expansion of use, and is, accordingly, exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
