Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section G 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines exempts from CEQA review actions related to the “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” The key consideration in applying this exemption is whether the proposed action involves any expansion of the existing use. The proposed actions, approval of amendments to current aviation leases with John Watkins and Larry Strasbaugh and recreational ground lease with Fallbrook Sports Association, involve negligible or no change in use or operations from what currently exists, and is therefore, categorically exempt from CEQA review under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
