Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301, Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
A Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption consists 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 existing or former use. The types of "existing facilities" itemized in the CEQA Guidelines 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 existing or former use. According to Section 15301 (e)(2), additions to existing structures are considered negligible provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet if the project is (a) in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and (b) the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. The proposed Project qualifies for a Class 1 Exemption under CEQA because it involves minor alterations to an existing private structure and does not include any expansion of the existing use. The planned improvements, including interior and exterior upgrades to the 30,886-square-foot Terminal Building 550A S. Alameda and repaving for truck trailer parking, do not increase the building area by more than 10,000 square feet and remain consistent with the site's historical trucking and transportation-related operations. Additionally, the Project is located in a fully urbanized area with existing public services and utilities, and no environmentally sensitive resources are present on or adjacent to the site. With these considerations, the Project meets the criteria for a Class 1 Exemption, as it results in no significant environmental impacts and maintains the intensity and nature of the current use. Lastly, it was concluded that the exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (Exceptions) also do not apply to this Project and as a result is exempt from further CEQA review. See the attached CEQA Class 1 Exemption document for further detail.
