Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CLASS 1, 15301; CLASS 2 15302; 15061 (B)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed modification to the existing wireless telecommunication facility qualifies for multiple CEQA exemptions:
Class 1 (Existing Facilities) under Section 15301: The project involves minor alterations to an existing facility, including the relocation and replacement of antennas and the installation of new radio units. These changes do not result in an expansion of use and have no significant environmental impact, making the project eligible for this exemption.
Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction) under Section 15302: This exemption applies to projects involving the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures where the new structure is located on the same site and serves substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure being replaced. The proposed project includes the replacement of existing antennas and radio units with new equipment, constituting minor alterations that do not change the facility's fundamental nature or use. The modifications enhance the facility's performance while maintaining its existing capacity and footprint.
Common Sense Exemption under Section 15061 (b)(3): The project is also deemed exempt under the Common Sense Exemption, which applies when it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. Given that the modifications are confined to the existing facility footprint and do not introduce any new significant environmental effects, this exemption is applicable.
