Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Categorical, Section 15304, Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304, Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land. Class 4 applies to minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation that do not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees. The proposed project consists of minor maintenance-level placement and spreading of sand within an existing public beach area and does not result in a substantial change to the site or surrounding environment.
The project is also supported by CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities, because the activity involves the maintenance and continued use of an existing public park and recreational beach area with no expansion of use.
