Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (Class 1). The project consists of minor alterations to an existing public facility involving the installation of security fencing and automated rolling gates within the existing developed jail property. The work will occur within the existing facility footprint and will not expand the use of the site beyond its current operational capacity. The project involves negligible or no expansion of existing use and therefore qualifies for the Class 1 categorical exemption.
