Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15304 (Class 4), and Section 15314 (Class 14)
Reasons for Exemption
The Class 4 exemption applies as the Project would occur on an entirely developed area of graded land with a slope of less than 10 percent that is not within a waterway, wetlands, and/or areas of severe geologic hazards. Project construction would require alterations to the Project site, involving excavation, grading, and trenching to install the proposed improvements. All disturbed surfaces would be backfilled and restored for continued use of the existing school facilities and to limit potential stormwater runoff. No scenic, mature trees would be removed. The Class 14 exemption applies as the proposed improvements would not add new classrooms, change the
number of classrooms, introduce new athletic programs or sports at the school, or increase the original student capacity by more than 25 percent or classroom count by 10. School enrollment capacity would remain the same as under existing conditions. Additionally, none of the exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the Project.
