Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
State CEQA Guidelines section 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines § 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). The Class 3 exemption consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. Water main, sewage, and other utility extensions, including street improvements of reasonable length to serve such construction are exempt under this Class. The District has sufficient water to serve Canyon Hills Estates. The project involves the temporary connection of a construction water meter to an existing EVMWD hydrant at the end of Cottonwood Canyon Road and approximately 20 feet of pipe after the meter to provide extra-territorial water to Canyon Hills Estates, and thus falls within the scope of the Class 3 exemption.
