Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Class 1 Section 15301 Existing Facilities (c)
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities, subsection (c), because it consists of repair, maintenance, resurfacing, and minor alteration of an existing public roadway, including associated shoulder corrective work and restriping, with negligible or no expansion of existing use. The Project would not add new automobile travel lanes or substantially expand roadway capacity. The Project is also consistent with the County of Tulare’s locally adopted categorical exemption procedures for Class 1 existing facilities. The County has further determined that none of the exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines §15300.2 apply to the Project.
