Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 2, Sec. 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction). The project involves the replacement of existing portable classroom buildings with a new permanent classroom building of substantially the same purpose and use, located on the same site, and resulting in negligible expansion of use or capacity. The project would modernize outdated facilities to provide a safe, efficient, and permanent educational environment while maintaining the existing operational scale of the campus.
The project would not trigger any exceptions to categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. No exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply. The project would not result in cumulative impacts, significant effects, or impacts related to scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, or historical resources. Therefore, the project qualifies for an exemption from CEQA
