Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sec. G 15301 (c)
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15301(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines exempts from CEQA review the “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” This exemption includes the maintenance of existing highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle, and pedestrian trails. The key consideration in determining whether this exemption applies is whether the project involves “negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” This action consists of approving a list of projects proposed to be funded by Senate Bill 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-27. These projects include asphalt concrete and slurry seal road resurfacing, culverts, guardrails, pedestrian ramps, bridges, and other maintenance work within existing County-maintained roadways. The projects include activities that are necessary to ensure existing right-of-way facilities continue to function as designed. Therefore, the projects are categorically exempt in accordance with Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines because they involve the maintenance of existing public roads involving no or negligible expansion of existing use.
