Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Classes 1, 2, & 3 (Sections 15301, 15302, & 15303)
Reasons for Exemption
Class 1 - Existing Facilities (Section 15301): This category includes the maintenance, operation, or minor alteration of existing public facilities. Upgrading pedestrian crosswalks, signage, and striping often qualifies as minor alteration of existing structures. This would apply since the project involves high-visibility crossings, raised crosswalks, and advanced warning signs without expanding capacity. Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction (Section 15302): This exemption covers replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities in the same location and with the same capacity, particularly when upgrading to improve safety standards. The project’s raised crosswalks and new signage falls under this category, as they are improvements for pedestrian safety within existing right-of-way. Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures (Section 15303): For minor new construction of small structures, such as street signs, within urbanized areas, this exemption applies. Adding or modifying pedestrian signals or signs at existing crosswalks is generally considered minor construction under this category.
