Reasons for Exemption
CEQA does not apply to Class 1 projects that "consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public and private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment or topographical features
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination." In addition, pursuant to Section 15301 (d), the project may include "restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as an earthquake, landslide, or flood."
