Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities (15301), New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures (15303(d))
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) as the ATEP campus is fully developed and served by existing utilities. Granting an easement and installing meters is a minor alteration of an existing utility system with no expansion of capacity, new demand, or new land uses. The installation of three water meters also qualifies under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(d) (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) as a minor utility extension, small in scale, with no environmental disturbance.
