Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
§15301/Class 1 and §15302/Class 2
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301/Class 1 of the CEQA Guidelines exempts from the
provisions of CEQA, projects consisting of 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 use beyond that existing at the time of
the lead agency's determination. The types of "existing facilities" itemized below are not intended to be
all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether
the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. An example of this exemption
includes existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar
facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety).
Section 15302/Class 2 consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced, including but not limited to: water main, sewage, electrical, gas, and other utility extensions, including street improvements, of reasonable length to serve such construction. The proposed project is consistent with Class 1 and Class 2 exemptions because the project is proposing to make improvements to existing pavement, reinstall signage and striping. The proposed improvements are minor, do not constitute an expansion of use, and will improve the public right-ofway without increasing road capacity. The proposed project involves negligible expansion of the existing use and will have substantially the same purpose. Based on staff analysis, it was determined that no adverse environmental impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project and none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this project
