Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15301, 15302, 15303, 15311, 15314 and 15323
Reasons for Exemption
WHEREAS, based on the record, the Project is not subject to any of the exceptions to categorical exemptions, including, without limitation, because:
The Project is located on a developed, operating school site and would not impact a designated environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern;
There are no other projects of the same type in the same place as the Project that would result in cumulative impacts;
There is no indication of unusual circumstances that would cause a significant environmental impact related to the Project. The artificial turf installation represents a minor alteration to land with negligible environmental impact and reduces water usage compared to natural turf;
The Project would not result in damage to scenic or natural resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway because the Project would be located on an existing developed and operating school site, and does not result in an encroachment of any incompatible land use, does not detract from scenic views or scenic quality, and includes proper siting with engineered lighting designed to minimize visual impacts;
The Project is not located on a hazardous waste site; and
The Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
