Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 Class 1-Existing Facilities and Section 15302 Class 2-Replacement or Reconstruction
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to Sections 15022(a)(l)(C) and 15300.4 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the Napa County Board of Supervisors have adopted implementation procedures, identifying specific projects that would be categorically exempt from established CEQA Guidelines. The proposed improvements would be considered Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 Class I-Existing Facilities, which includes the operation and repair of existing public or private structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing of former use, and is further exempt under Appendix B of the Napa County's Local Procedures for implementing the California Quality Act - Class l(l)(h) - Existing Facilities, which includes reconstructing, resurfacing and/or seal coating of pavement, paving existing unpaved shoulders, widening the paved roadway by less than 8 feet or adding up to 4 foot wide unpaved shoulders, and modifying to improve existing roadside safety features. The proposed improvements would also be considered Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15302, Class 2- Replacement or Reconstruction, which consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. A key consideration in the appropriateness of using these Categorical Exemptions is whether the project would be located on the same site, have substantially the same purpose and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. In terms of negligible expansion, the proposed project will take place within the existing roadway or shoulder areas and does not include significant expansions beyond existing conditions. The proposed project would repair and improve existing roads - increasing public safety. Therefore, it has been determined that the proposed project qualifies for a Class 1 and Class 2 Categorical Exemption and has no reasonable possibility of having a significant effect on the environment. The site of the development is not in an environmentally sensitive area and is not on any of the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.
The proposed improvements would also be in conformity with the adopted Napa County General Plan (June 2008). Improvements proposed for County owned, operated or occupied buildings and facilities are consistent with General Plan Policy AG/LU-29 which allows governmental organizations to operate and use existing structures/facilities, and to expand in size and/or volume, in order to upgrade or modernize facilities to meet public needs.
