Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15303/Class 3
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project would be consistent with the provisions of a Class 3 Categorical Exemption because it would include the new construction of small facilities or structures to create a passive park on an existing parcel. The park is intended to provide a protected path of travel and rest area for pedestrians and bicyclists. Proposed structures for the park would include ADA benches and tables, landscaping, irrigation, ADA paths of travel, open green space, and a bike rack. In addition, the project includes the installation of new irrigation connections to serve the proposed project. The project would be limited to the existing footprint of the parcel and would be consistent with the scale of the project site and surrounding area. Further, the project would not require the storage of significant amounts of any hazardous materials. The project site is located in a developed portion of the City and is not located near any environmentally sensitive areas or resources.
