Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301 of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines categorically exempts CEQA review of 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 existing or former use.” The key consideration in applying this exemption is whether the proposed action involves expansion of an existing use. The proposed action includes maintenance and repairs to existing
public airport infrastructure and ancillary facilities, required to maintain the safety of the airfield and ancillary facilities. These activities involve negligible or no expansion of use of existing facilities, and accordingly, are exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA Guidelines.
