Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15302 Replacement or Reconstruction
Reasons for Exemption
The City of San Diego conducted an environmental review and determined that the proposed project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction). CEQA Section 15302 allows for the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure would be located on the same site and would have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the existing. The project is a sidewalk replacement project and would retain the purpose and capacity of the existing sidewalk. The park site has been previously developed and lacks sensitive resources and no environmental
impacts were identified. None of the exceptions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. The site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 for hazardous waste sites.
