Project Description
Existing Facilities
The Miller Creek School District’s Business Services Building is located at 380 Nova Albion Way, San Rafael, CA. The building is located in the Terra Linda neighborhood of San Rafael. Terra Linda High School lies just west of the site, and single-family residences are just north south, and east of the facility.
Proposed Project
The project would consist of removing and replacing the existing roofing at the District’s Business Services Building. The existing roofing and associated flashing would be removed and a new fluid-applied roof membrane and flashing/drains would be installed. The purpose of this project is essential repairs and maintenance of the building.
The project would be constructed between June and August 2025, when school is not in session. No other changes to the building or new or expanded uses of the facilities are proposed as part of this project.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061(b)(3)) (General Rule Exemption)

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Categorical Exemption Analysis
Class 1 Exemption The CEQA Class 1 Exemption for Existing Facilities (Guidelines, Section 15301) applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use. The project would comprise re-roofing of an existing building. It would not affect school capacity and would not add any classrooms.
Exceptions Discussion
Per CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2, exceptions to this categorical exemption can apply where
the following occur:
• Cumulative impact of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.
• Significant effect due to unusual circumstances.
• Damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings,
rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a state scenic highway.
• Hazardous Waste Sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of
the Government Code.
• A substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
As summarized below, none of these exceptions appear to apply to this project and therefore
this exemption would apply:
• The project area is a developed residential neighborhood and is surrounded by public
parks; no cumulative development is likely to occur nearby. No other projects are
proposed at or adjacent to the building concurrent with the proposed project
construction. There would be no potential for cumulatively considerable impacts.
• Construction would be re-roofing of an existing structure, which would not change the
exterior appearances of the buildings. Therefore, this impact would be non-significant.
• The site is not on or near a listed hazardous waste site (database search performed

.
• The project would not change the building exteriors other than re-roofing. It would not
demolish or substantially alter any historic structures. Therefore no historic resources
would be affected.
• The project is at a fully developed school site and there are not any unusual
circumstances that could result in significant environmental impacts at the site
