Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Existing Facilities; CEQA Guidelines 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development would repurpose existing facilities within the Ravine Waterpark and fits within the outlined expansions of section 15301(e). Specifically: (1) the total area that will be modified is less than 10,000 square feet; (2) there are existing public services, including City water service, that will continue to serve the Waterpark and the Project; (3) there are no environmentally sensitive areas within the disturbed lawn and concrete areas; and, (4) the Project will not increase the capacity of the existing Ravine Waterpark
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 3, New Construction of Small Structures; CEQA Guidelines 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development would develop a pool and small accessory facilities, such as the cabanas. This type of project is explicitly described as an example of something that fits within the Class 3 categorical exemption.
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 11, Accessory Minor Structures; CEQA Guidelines 15311
Reasons for Exemption
The work proposed by the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development includes features located in an area that is currently utilized by Waterpark guests. The Project is limited to repurposing an existing use area with minor accessory structures. Although pools and associated structures are not explicitly referenced in the exception, the use of the categorical exemption is not limited to those examples. Furthermore, a pool with associated hardscape includes analogous levels of development to a small parking lot, which is listed as an example of a Class 11 categorical exemption. (See CEQA Guidelines § 15311(b).)
