Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15317 and 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project qualifies for a categorical exemption from CEQA pursuant to sections 15317 and 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15317 exempts the establishment of agricultural preserves, the making and renewing of open space contracts under the Williamson Act, or the acceptance of easements or fee interests in order to maintain the open space character of the area. Section 15301 (h) exempts the operation and maintenance of existing public or private structures, facilities, and topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use, and includes maintenance of existing landscaping, native growth, and water supply reservoirs. The subdivision of real property that does not involve any new construction or change in the existing uses, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to the “common sense” exemption in CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3). The activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. If a development project is proposed on any of the parcels, the individual project would be subject to environmental review under CEQA once the scope of the project has been identified.
