Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 15303; Class: 3
Reasons for Exemption
The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption (Class 3) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section, Sec. 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, because the project consists of a small equipment enclosure and the addition of equipment to an existing tower which will result in 400 feet of site disturbance. The project does not trigger Section 15300.2 exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption as it is not located in a sensitive environment. The project is not located in an area which may have an impact on an environmental recourse of hazardous or critical concern which is designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted by a federal, state or local agency. Further, there are no unusual circumstances surrounding the project. The proposed project is to be located on an existing cell site and includes the addition of new antennas and remote radio units. Colocation is standard industry practice allowing for fewer towers to be built and for wireless carriers to share facilities. The proposed colocation has comparable scope and function to the examples listed in CEQA guidelines Section 15303. The proposed project does not impact any scenic resources for any officially designated scenic highways. The proposed project is not located on a site which is included on any hazardous waste site list compiled pursuant to Gov. Code § 65962.5. The proposed project does not involve or does not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
