Document Description
The Burlingame School District (BSD) proposes to modernize its central kitchen at Franklin Elementary School. The project would include a small addition to the existing multi-purpose building to provide a new staging area and walk-in cooler and freezer. Approximately 391 square feet of the existing 7,296 square-foot building would be demolished, and the addition would be approximately 623 square feet, resulting in a net addition of 232 square feet. The project would also include exterior site work to construct new paved areas for lunch truck loading and deliveries. Utility alterations would be made as necessary. All proposed improvements would occur within existing school grounds.

Reasons for Exemption
The proposed Franklin Elementary School Kitchen Modernization and Addition Project would not increase the number of classrooms or introduce a new use onto the campus or increase enrollment. Therefore, the proposed project would be exempt under Class 14, Minor Additions to Schools. Per Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined the project is not located on a hazardous waste site and the project would not affect environmental resources of hazardous or critical concern, result in a significant impact due to unusual circumstances, damage scenic resources, affect an historical resource, or result in a cumulative impact. For these reasons, the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
