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 consisting of 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 expansion of an existing use. The proposed action involves repair and maintenance of an existing runway and associated infrastructure at Gillespie Field, with negligible or no proposed changes or expansion in use from what currently exists, and is, accordingly, exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
