Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301,15303,15304,15311
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA Guidelines section 15301 applies to existing facilities, 15303 applies to new construction or conversion of small structures, 15304 applies to minor alterations to land, and 15311 applies to accessory structures. The project is a minor alteration to land, consisting of gopher baskets, planted food (such as olive trees or small vegetables), and establishing irrigation in a small area within an existing park. The garden is located in an area of the park that consists of grasses and a bench, and is not in proximity to any sensitive habitat areas. These minor improvements proposed would not change the nature of the use, and none of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions from CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply to the project.
