Type, Section or Code
Title 14, § 15301 - Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines provides a categorical exemption for the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, licensing, or minor alterations of existing public or 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. This revocable grazing license for Haroutunian South is exempt from CEQA since it is a continuation of an existing use that benefits the conservation values of the property. Further, the terms of the license ensure that there will be no expansion of use nor intensity of use of the property for the duration of the proposed license.
