Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Public Resources Code Section 21080.57
Reasons for Exemption
The project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080.57, which exempts “any activity or approval necessary for or incidental to planning, design, site acquisition, construction, operation, or maintenance of public park or nonmotorized recreational trail facilities funded in whole or in part by the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024,” also known as Proposition 4. The project consists of planning, design, and construction of non-motorized trail segments and appurtenant facilities and the project will be funded by Proposition 4 funds. It is therefore exempt from CEQA under PRC Section 21080.57.
