Class 1, CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 14, CEQA Guidlelines Section 15314
Reasons for Exemption
Based on the above discussion, the proposed modifications to the Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School are considered to be exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 and Section 15314 Class 14 exemptions for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed project (modifications to support transitional kindergarten) will be located on the same site as the existing school site.
(2) The new classrooms and facilities will not result in a change in purpose and are being installed to comply with State mandates to provide transitional kindergarten to all eligible students.
(3) The project will result in an addition to the school of less than 10,000 square feet.
(4) Sufficient public services are available to service the school site.
(5) The project will be located within the existing school site and is not located in an environmentally sensitive area.
(6) The proposed project would result in an increase of four classrooms (which is less than an increase of 10 classrooms).
(7) Sufficient public services are available to service the school site.
(8) The potential increase in student capacity is 11 percent; therefore, the capacity would not increase more than 25 percent.
(9) None of the exceptions to the exemptions apply to the proposed project.
Therefore, the proposed modifications to Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School meet the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 and Section 15314 Class 14 exemptions and the proposed project is exempt under CEQA.
See the Attachment for a discussion on why the project meets the requirements for categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15314.
