Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities, Section 15301, Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, for repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing mechanical and life-safety systems involving negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed improvements consist of upgrading the Smoke Control System's direct digital controls and associated components at an existing detention facility. The project will maintain and enhance system reliability and safety without expanding the facility's capacity or use. The project does not trigger any of the exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 and is therefore categorically exempt from further environmental review.
