Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 - Class 1 (c)
Reasons for Exemption
The Project involves upgrades and improvements to an existing public facility, including minor interior improvements. and exterior improvements such as installing an elevator and converting a travel lane to a bike path, and installing features that support the bike track. The improvements would occur within existing Metro or City-owned ROW and would not expand the use of the facilities. Under Class 1 (c) of the
CEQA Guidelines (§15301), projects that involve negligible or no expansion of existing use such as pedestrian, bicycle, and transit enhancements are categorically exempt. Therefore, the Project is consistent with this exemption, as it improves safety, accessibility, and user experience without introducing new transit operations or increasing capacity.
