Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities, Section 15301; Replacement or Reconstruction, Section 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project will remove and replace the existing artificial turf on existing athletic fields that already use artificial turf. The project will not change or expand the use or capacity of the existing fields. Therefore, the project qualifies for the Class 1 categorical exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. The project also qualifies for the Class 2 categorical exemption under Section 15302, as it will replace existing artificial turf systems with new artificial turf, serving substantially the same purpose and capacity within the existing athletic field footprints.
