Document Description
The project site encompasses a portion of the northeast corner of the existing northeast surface parking lot of the District Office. Currently, there are 11 parking spaces along the eastern boundary of the project site. The District proposes to install up to 10 electric vehicle (EV) chargers along the eastern side of the project site. The proposed project would replace the existing transformer and panel board in the northeast corner and convert the two existing northernmost parking spaces along the eastern boundary into one space. A new underground conduit line would connect the transformer to the chargers and would run along the east side of the project site. Two bollards would be installed in front of each charger. Bollards would also be installed around the transformer. The proposed project would not affect the staffing or operation of the District Office.
Three chargers with bollards, conduit line, and transformer improvements would be constructed first—tentatively scheduled to begin in April 2025 and end in May 2025 (approximately 35 days). The other seven chargers and associated bollards would be installed at a future date. All construction equipment and work would be confined within the boundaries of the District Office, and contractors would adhere to construction noise regulations to avoid disruption to District Office operations and the surrounding uses.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Class 3, and Class 11; Section 15301, Section 15303, Section 15311
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project involves minor alterations to an existing facility (the District Office northeast parking lot), including the installation of EV charging stations and associated infrastructure. The improvements would consist of minor modifications to electrical infrastructure (transformer and panel board replacement) and the reconfiguration of a small number of parking spaces (two parking spaces). The proposed project does not involve the expansion of the existing use, as it would not change staffing or operations at the District Office. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA under Section 15301.
The proposed project involves the installation of a limited number of small new structures, including EV chargers and associated electrical equipment. The proposed project is a minor utility extension that would connect to existing utility infrastructure. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA under Section 15303.
The proposed project’s EV chargers and related infrastructure are accessory structures, as they support the existing parking lot without altering its primary function. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA under Section 15311.
