Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1); Section 15303 (Class 3); and Section 15311 (Class 11)
Reasons for Exemption
The Class 1 exemption applies as the project involves minor alterations at the existing San Dieguito Sports Complex that would not result in the expanded use of the sports complex, as the project would not change the number, type, or frequency of sporting events at the facility. The Class 3 exemption applies as the proposed improvements would involve the construction of a new 421-square-foot utility storage building, which is less than 2,500 square feet in floor area. The project would include a new 37-space asphalt parking lot and an accessible concrete pathway, resulting in approximately 14,000 square feet of new impervious surface, which equates to 0.3 acres (or approximately 1 percent of the existing 28-acre sports complex). The project would also include other minor improvements such as new stormwater infrastructure (beneath the proposed parking lot), new safety lighting, and new landscaping to replace existing disturbed turf areas. The Class 11 exemption consists of construction or placement of minor structures accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including small parking lots. The project meets the criteria of this exemption as it would involve construction of a small, 421-square-foot utility storage building and 37-space parking lot that would be accessory to the existing 28-acre sports complex. Additionally, none of the exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the project.
