Document Description
The City of Chico proposes to reconstruct approximately 0.7 miles of Fair Street, repairing roadway damages that resulted from increased/heavy usage after the 2018 Camp Fire. The existing pavement will be rehabilitated using full depth reclamation with concrete (FDR-C). Excavation depths are expected to reach approximately 12 inches for the construction of sidewalk and driveways and up to 24 inches for FDR-C. Reconstruction work includes a “road diet” that would reduce the existing four lanes to two lanes with a center turning lane and associated striping, Class II bike lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA improvements. and landscape zones. Typical underground and overhead utility improvements include storm drain inlet and water valve component relocations, replacement of existing sanitary sewer infrastructure, utility pole relocation, and street lighting, where feasible. Multiple temporary construction easements are anticipated.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301(c) (Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves improvements to existing public facilities. The project involves no increase in capacity and serves built-out land uses. The project area has been previously disturbed, is located in an urbanized area, and includes existing roadway surfaces in need of rehabilitation. There are no unusual circumstances leading to a reasonable possibility that significant environmental impacts will result from the project. Therefore, the City finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Section 15301 (c).
