Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301(c) Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA’s Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, and minor alterations of existing facilities, with negligible or no expansion of use. (CEQA Guidelines §15301.) The subject request to maintain the existing two-way vehicular access at a driveway approach previously approved for egress-only does not involve any physical expansion of the existing facilities. The subject request does not involve any new square footage, and the proposed construction only involves widening a drive approach and installing wayfinding signage. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA. (See CEQA Guidelines §15301(c) (exemption for “[e]xisting highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities . . . and other alterations . . . that do not create additional automobile lanes”).)
