Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301 exempts projects that involve negligible or no expansion of use beyond what currently exists, including interior alterations to existing structures where there is no change in occupancy type or significant increase in intensity. The project qualifies for this exemption because it involves only interior tenant improvements to an existing, legally developed building (the former Ford Assembly Plant) with no proposed changes to the exterior building envelope, and no expansion of the building’s existing footprint, floor area, or site coverage.
