Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities [Section 15301]
Reasons for Exemption
The California Environmental Quality Act (Section 21000, et. seq. of the California Public Resources Code, hereafter CEQA) requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “projects.” A “project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(a)).
The proposed Project is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). This exemption applies to the minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, or equipment involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Examples noted in the exemption include, but are not limited to, interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances. The Project involves a negligible expansion of use as it includes a license to temporarily use the existing City-leased facility located at 9499 E. Stockton Blvd as a congregate housing shelter and provides funding for such purposes. The Project may include minor interior and exterior alterations to accommodate the proposed shelter use, such as HVAC repairs, roofing work, fencing, electrical and plumbing improvements, and the installation and hook-up of a portable restroom trailer. Therefore, the Project qualifies for the exemption in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 and no further environmental review is required.
